Just when we thought social media and business leaders were finally starting to "get" the importance of real relationships with human beings, unfortunately there seems to be a new wave of cheaters, influence score addicted self proclaimed "gurus" that are willing to risk their reputation, integrity, ethics, trust, clients and relationships for a few hundred or tens of thousands fake Facebook fans.
Facebook's March 7, '2013, Live Event at their Menlo Park headquarters outlined the new features of the revamped News Feed. Noting that it was "mobile-inspired," the unveiling keyed on the value of images, the desire for users to control and have access to whatever content they want to see, and the value of an even richer experience in the location where users spend the majority of their time.
Just when you thought you had your Google Plus page lookin' good (or maybe not), they have slipped in some changes on us over night. Images just got super size, addition of local review tab and more.
When the going gets tough in business or life, the tough pull out a dash of faith, prayer and a Dr Seuss quote!

Did you know that quotes are among the highest shared type of content on Twitter? Do you have a favorite author? Business, leadership, brand or life leader who inspires you? If yes, then dig into what they say, what they do that defines who and what they are. Often times a quote can make someone's day, week or change the direction of their life. We have many clients who we met via Twitter and a simple quote.
For those twitter peeps who like to tweet urls, well your tweets are going to get shorter. Effective immediately, any tweet that includes a url will now be reduced by 2 characters. This takes it to 118 characters, or 117 for https links.

This title may make a few of you laugh, and a few of you think I have lost my mind. Either way, it got your attention enough to read this post, so it worked! My play on words beckons back to a day not long ago in the 90’s to a show fondly called “Beavis and Butthead”. You see, Beavis would yank his shirt up over his head, throw his arms in the air and yell “My name is Cornholio! Take me to your leader”! This would be followed up by his pal Butthead yelling back “Shutup Beavis”!
We've all seen the social media profiles, bios and disclaimers that read something similar to "my thoughts are my own" or "my tweets are my own." Is there really such a thing? Is there a magical hour or invisible line in the sand that separates an employee from the words they say, the things they do and the impact they have on a brand?
When is the last time you saw a perfect human being? Someone who never said the wrong thing? Never was late? Never made someone sad? Never wrote an email with a typo? I am yet to meet a perfect human being and my guess is your answer is the same. So why is it we expect brands to be perfect? The truth is it is impossible for brands to be perfect. Why you ask? Because they are made up of human beings who are far from perfect.
Wow, it's amazing as it seems like just yesterday I ...
#GoGiveLuv is a movement that enables us all to share the Random Acts Of Love (RALs) we receive, give or experience virtually, 24/7 all year long. Imagine having a place online you can go when having a bad day that brings you to happy tears because of the love you see, read, feel and hear because of others sharing their experience of such. Imagine a blog you can read to cheer you up or share a story of your own that will someday prevent someone from committing suicide.

Do you lack the trust factor? There could be many different reasons why your communities are reluctant to engage with you. One of the most common reasons is that they don't trust you. You have all the pretty colors, bells and whistles for your online presence but you lack credibility. You lack the trust factor.
