You Don’t Know Squat About Hispanics
Subtitle: Hispanic Media Myths A great article…it even seems to have some picante to it as it’s spiced up with some humor and witty lines. If you have some image in your head of a poor campesino looking confusedly at a computer screen, delete it. Replace that with an image of Perez Hilton tweeting and blogging and instant-messaging all day. In fact, Latinos far... Read More
Media Needs Your Dialogue
Subtitle: The Need To Pursue Media The ability to cement your message within the stream of media conversation is more vital NOW than ever before. We stand at the cusp of change. With history unfolding before us, we must ensure our views engage the forefront of America’s, and thus the world’s conciousness. Otherwise, others will define everything for us. This is... Read More
You Are Social Media’s Limitation
Subtitle: Learn and Practice Languages Using Social Media With all the head-scratching and trial/errors, social media will undoubtedly become standardized, as people discover what works and what does not. There will develop a safety net on the ‘proper’ way on how to pursue a social media campaign. In actuality, this already exists. But, what if this ‘standardization’... Read More

Latino Gold Rush
Subtitle: Here Come The Marketers My eyes, ears and mouth were sealed shut. It’s interesting to see how businesses and marketers are now paying attention to previously ignored niche networks. By this I specifically mean low-income demographics and urban communities. There is an entire “sub-culture” of bloggers / twitterers complete with celebrities and household names... Read More
Control The Content
Subtitle: Centralized Me. “If you don’t like it, get your own soapbox!” Controlling the content, means owning it. Blogging enables you a platform to speak from that you own. You control the site, you state the rules, you decide what is good/what is bad…you are God. Latinos – take control of your image. Latinos especially should embrace blogging as... Read More
Target Hispanics Or Target Latinos?
This is an old debate – it’s filled with emotion, preference and who can best determine the roots of language and how we came to this nomenclature. However, for this post I’m just looking at numbers: is the term Hispanic used more on the internet, or the term Latino? I used Google keyword search tool that is used in many Ad campaigns, SEO optimization and reflects... Read More
