Google Voice that is... but wait, what is Google Voice? Google Voice is an internet based call forwarding service, FREE of charge unless placing international calls. It's currently released by invite only but it's pretty easy to get an invite...
A while back, Steve and I wrote a blog post about brand reputation and how to discover what people are saying about you . Therefore, I was excited today to read an excellent article from the New York Times on the same subject ( http://www.nytimes.com...
I’ve had my head down for quite some time now (haven’t you noticed everyone is so busy lately?) and the launch of Firefox 3.5 almost passed me by without much notice. Well, it almost did until my browser kept crashing unexpectedly and I noticed it recommended...
We talk about social media, just a little bit , on our Blackbaud blogs. But maybe you're wondering why you should care or you know what it is but need to know more. Where do you go to find more information? I had a friend/professional peer ask me...
Try to say that title one time fast (yeah, don't even bother with three times fast)! Phew! Why the alliteration? Well I recently signed up for Twitter a few months ago to see what it was all about, and it wasn’t until I understood the power of it...
Once and a while I find a cool, small detail about a tool or website that makes a huge difference to me – so much so, I feel the need to share. I especially appreciate them when they save me steps and time! Here are eight to get you started... 1. Merge...
Your brand reputation (either personal or professional) is an important aspect of your business. Being "in the know" about what people are saying about your brand is important. Unfortunately, branding is not like the world of glitz and glamour...
Sometimes when you experiment with social media and learn (like I do), you amass a ton of online profiles. For example, recently I remembered I had a yahoo profile and email address. Wow, wonder how long it’s been since I last checked that email?! I updated...
Authoring in SharePoint – a world unto its own for those of you brave enough to venture into adding web parts, setting up sites and workspaces, and playing around with site settings. I find it’s often more like a treasure hunt than a systematic process...
I confess. I don’t Digg and I have no idea what to use it for. In fact, just the other day I submitted my first article. And it doesn’t even really count since it’s one of my own blog posts. I just wanted to test the process. Sadly, as of today, 6 days...
I noticed this week that Causes in Facebook seem to have improved their ease of recruiting. I was recruited to a couple of my favorite local nonprofits and in return could invite others all without much effort. The other nice part about Causes in Facebook...
Participating in social media can perform magic. How? It can magically take all your time and make it disappear! You started working on a short blog post. It’s only a couple paragraphs long. You write and re-write. Read it aloud to yourself. Change some...
A week later and my experiment with paring down the number of people I follow has worked wonders (so far). I’m back to following people without as much anxiety and I can keep up without dedicating my every working moment to watching the stream of collective...
Did you know your government – federal, state, and local – is in the grassroots information network? If you thought twitter was just micro blogging the latest celebrity or personal news gossip then you’re missing out on the information underground. I...
We all know in the last year or two tv and movies have invaded the Internet in all new ways. (My favorite... hulu.com ). But yesterday, when I got home from work I was flipping through the channels and stumbled onto Oprah using Skype on her tv show. What...
