Email Fast
There can be too much of a good thing. Yes, I think email is still a good thing. It is more focused and can get more in depth than social media posts. But, the volume could use some curtailing. For instance, I don’t think I need to be emailed every time I get a new friend request on Facebook or a new person subscribes to my Friendfeed or when someone sends me a direct... Read More
You Still Can Edit Instant Publication
With the advent of social media sites like Twitter, push button publication is instantaneous and in many cases forever. Even if you delete what you’ve posted, there are hundreds of indexers that constantly monitor the live stream of data in social media. The longer you take to delete it, the possibility of someone seeing it increases. Personally, I don’t worry too... 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
Over 140 Characters
With my blog site back up, I’ve come to appreciate blogging again. 140 characters on Twitter is great for quick updates, witty dialogue and continuous conversations/Facebook is great for engaging in public discussions. Blogs however, can be more personal and allow you to peer into the deeper thought processes the author has. AKPC_IDS += "512,";Popularity: 1% [?] Read More
One For Old Media
I’m an avid reader and I love books. There, I said it. I don’t like the Google reader, or any other reader that seeks to replace books – I even still like magazines. There is something about flipping through pages and holding a book in your hands that just can’t be replicated. I’ve read somewhere that the younger generation reads more blogs and... Read More
Interview Over At ‘Learn Social Networking’
The reason I like to interview is the opportunity in exchange of dialogue. It gives me a chance to unload my ideas as well as opens a window to learn what the public is thinking (the interviewer knows what their audience wants to hear). I had the pleasure to talk over @LoriGama blog last week, and it actually helped me define a couple of things that I was struggling with. We... Read More

There Is Nothing New Under The Sun
We all heard that expression before. “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” Let’s look at two things on Twitter: 140 characters & the @ sign. 140 Characters Text messaging has a limitation of 160 characters. This ‘magic’ number was formulated by Friedhelm Hillebrand who was... Read More
Hispanic-fluentials Are Mavens
Latinos are growing more than any other ethnic groups by almost half on the internet. As we grow more, we inherently become more fragmented and specialized by outsiders who need to better define and target us. Enter the Hispanic-fluential. “Hispanic-fluentials spend more time per week interacting with others online (30 hours) than the general population of U.S. influencers,... Read More
How Do You Backup Social Media Work?
Backup I’ve worked in technology for 10 years, and have witnessed the pain of data loss many times over. Most common is by mistakenly deleting a file/folder. Next less often, is a hard drive crash – oh, the horror! Then we have the holy grail of data loss, via some local trauma that wipes out your whole system (in this case your backup is no longer called backup,... Read More
What Are You Working On?
Nothing is ever static, not even this blog. I’ve been busy with tasks for the Latinos In Social Media Group (#LATISM) and haven’t had much time to post. Slowly, but surely I have been working on some posts as well as in the planning a book, which is another exhausting but fun project. I plan to catch up over the weekend. What are you working on?

Plugging Your Social Media Holes
Social Media Hole In the game of poker, any weaknesses can cost you money. Professional poker players constantly study their game with a very intense lens of scrutiny. They constantly search for ‘holes’ in their game and attempt to plug them. The same thought should be applied to social media. Last night, I was going through some blogs that are updated on Facebook... Read More
My TweetMeme Reset To “0″ (Again)
This would be the second time my TweetMeme #’s went back to zero (or square one…sorry Seth, in this case it’s not a happy place). In the Tweetmeme forums, I’ve dug recent post up: We are looking into it. We can’t say fairer than that. I’ve filed a bug report and have it marked as urgent the developers are working on it at the moment to find the... Read More
Fun With Social Media
Social media is fun! But, with all the media attention, corporate effort, entrepreneurial endeavors and part time addicts…besides being one heck of an echo chamber, social media can turn into one huge pressure cooker. Recently, Elena Malykhina over at BrandFreak posted that she received a Seth Godin action figure (!) as a PR prop: The action figure’s packaging contains... Read More
