  • Weekend Favs November Twenty-nine

    Google Buzz

    I’ve added a weekend post routine that I hope you enjoy. Each weekend I write a post that features 3-4 things I read during the week that I found interesting. Generally speaking it won’t involve much analysis and may range widely in topic. (Flickr image included here is also fav image of the week)

    Enjoy!

    Good stuff I ran across this week:

    20 Brand New, Incredibly Useful WordPress Plugins – Some good stuff here to extend the power of this popular blog software

    7 Harsh Realities of Social Media Marketing – I like this article because it’s well written and paints the non-hype side of social media, but maybe goes a little too far in making social media participation sound too hard to do

    • Like the weekly wrap-up, John.

      And always appreciate a contrarian view, a la "harsh realities". All points I found good to heed, but not really show stoppers.

      And while there are a lot of positives to social media, unless a person dismisses the idea that people will ever search for their brand online, or come to their site without a preconceived feeling about their brand, having a social media presence with solid content contributions is a powerful point of purchase marketing tactic.

      People want to do business with others who know their stuff.
    • Thanks - lots of people seem to like the nuggets approach of this post.

      I'm working on a similar article but I'm calling it "gentle truths"
