The first thing I should say is that I was planning to write about Blogger Social 2008 anyway. You’ll see why I started with that disclaimer in a moment … Just about everyone in any kind of communications role has probably reach out to at least one blogger at some point to share something of … Read more
by John Bell Rohit has invited a handful of folks to post on his blog while he manages his true key influencers – family (including the newest member!). It only seems fitting that each of us post on what we care about most. In my case, that’s word of mouth marketing. My team uses digital … Read more
By Mack Collier It’s happened to all of us. We’ll go a day without posting at our blog. Then before we know it the day has become two, then three. When we finally get a chance to post again, we leave that post that all of us have left. The ‘sorry about the lack of … Read more

After all, as we each get smarter about using RSS feeds to only get the content we want, the old "news portal" sites of several years ago are becoming less and less important.

When it comes to social media tools, most are not gender specific. That’s a good thing, as it means they can be uniformly useful for everyone, but it’s a sign of evolution when more specifically targeted sites start to appear.
