New Media Marketing Consulting
Published August 13, 2010 |
In further defining and developing our brand I got to thinking about my title. Marketing Director. Sounded good back in the day. The thing is, I’m not just the Marketing Director for Core Zero Creative. I wear that hat for many of the companies we work with, whether here in Maine or elsewhere around the globe, and whether it’s website design and development, social media marketing strategy, or search engine optimization, these are all services that Core Zero Creative offers. What we do is New Media Marketing Consulting. That’s much more accurate. It involves coordinating a company’s website, brand, social media, and search engine optimization efforts so that they work together in harmony.
Here’s a definition from trusty old Wikipedia:
Toilets and YouTube

What is the fascination with toilets these days? I can hardly get through an episode of The Bachelorette (I still wish she had picked Chris!) without seeing those new Clorox commercials, which crack me up by the way!
New Twitter Feature – Users You May Be Interested In
Published August 6, 2010 |
Twitter has rolled out a new feature based on studying its users’ use of the #FollowFriday or #FF hashtags. It suggests people you may be interested in following based on, among other things, who you follow and who they follow. You’ll see this on a tab called Suggestions For You on the Find People page.
If I Can Do It, You Can Do It

Yes, that’s a challenge.
I have made a commitment to blog more often. One reason, of course, is for all the reasons we’ve been telling you to start or be actively blogging… become a trusted resource on your industry, it’s great SEO (Search Engine Optimization), develop a conversation around your industry, product or service, cause, or personality. To be honest I have many of the same limiting beliefs as most of you. What do I write about and who actually wants to read what I have to say. Well, I guess we’ll find out! I know what you’re thinking “but you give hands-on workshops on blogging“? The brains and brawn of that division of Core Zero is Eric. He is an absolutely beautiful writer and speaker. Listen, I know my strengths and I am all too aware of my weaknesses but I am teachable. And so are you which is the point of this experiment. You know how much we love our experiments!
First, I will tell you what my qualifications are so that you will want to follow EVERYTHING I have to say… there are none! Well, mostly none, but that is exactly why you are going to want to follow my blog posts.

A Guide to Privacy of Facebook
Published May 20, 2010 |
Privacy on Facebook
Privacy is built around a few key ideas: You should have control over what you share. It should be easy to find and connect with friends. Your privacy settings should be simple and easy to understand.
On Facebook, there are three basic levels of privacy: Friends, Friends of Friends, Everyone. You also have a set of public information, which helps your friends find and connect with you: your Name, Profile Picture, Gender, and any Connections you’ve made. This includes the friends, networks and Pages you’ve chosen to connect to. You also always have control over who can see your Connections on your profile.
