It’s a new field where there are no experts; no real training for classification or certification, and it’s difficult for folks participating in it to explain how it works. It’s not a lawless field where anything goes, but the cowboys still roam the prairie where social media grazes. Christopher S. Penn describes the problem and the process quite well in his post How to Become a Social Media Expert, comparing social media to the nuances ...

Employees who take extra steps to get to know their customers deserve praise. Now, an Illinois sheriff has raised the bar (or bars?) on getting to know customers. Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran has gone to jail — because he wants to. He’s talking to inmates so he can find out what they think of the county lock-up. Curran said he’s also drawing attention to jails’ overpopulation issues, including the number of mentally ill, uneducated ...

While walking home the other day, I made an observation which I thought I’d share in a very Seth Godin way. Here goes: I walk to and from work, usually waving hello and exchanging a few words with a neighbor who seems to incessantly prune her shrubbery. For a few days now, her son has been home from university, and each time I’ve seen him out in front of the house, he’s been working on ...

When I talk to librarians and even fellow managers in other educational institutions, they often have one comment – - "we could never use open source software." If this is YOUR comment, think hard about it. You are saying you can’t find a way to put out a computer that costs less than $300 and offers such rich access to information? If you really feel that way, at least humor me and explore Open Sense ...

Someone once said, “the only constant is change.” I guess this is true. Things are always changing, including business. As real estate agents, we are always out there looking for the next strategy, technique, or practice that will make our business better and improve the experience for our clients and customers. Problem is, sometimes we get so anxious to change, that we forget that people who put us in the position to change (our clients ...

Posted by Paul Ryan, Editor, Anthill Magazine With the recent boom in online viral marketing through sites such as YouTube and Facebook, many people seem to have forgotten that word-of-mouth is actually the oldest form of marketing. Sure, cavemen weren’t able to upload videos of themselves vanquishing upstart rivals at the point of a club, but you can bet your last Pterodactyl tail that eligible cave ladies heard all about it on the grapevine.

The reflective Greyhound emblem shone brightly in the still photos and video of the scene where a bus passenger repeatedly stabbed a young man before cutting off his victim’s head and then leering at other passengers and police. The media coverage repeatedly referred to the bizarre attack “on a Greyhound bus,” further tying the company’s name to the incident. I heard a Greyhound rep commenting about the difficulty to providing security for bus services, compared ...

Photo by L_Dan I read a lot of blogs, I’m on several different listservs, and I can state, unequivocally, there are a lot of terrible writers out there. There are bloggers, and other writers, who seem to have only a passing knowledge of the English language — and I’m not talking about writers whose first language is something other than English. You know…people who write ”there” instead of “their”, or vice versa. Or who write ...
