The Social Media Examiner has become my go to place for all things SocMed. Not only are the bloggers top notch as writers but there are audio and video pieces as well, such as today’s post concerning under utilized media channels which is a video . Really doesn’t get much better than this. Thanks Michael!

I can’t get enough of this blog. The writing there is always top notch and never a day goes by that there isn’t soething new or useful to learn regarding the universe of Social Media. Todays post is no exception..

The take away here is just because Social Media makes it easy doesn’t mean your service or product will attract users/buyers. Marketing still rules the day and no software can do that for you. And it goes without saying that you have something to market that someone besides you cares about. Just something to think about.

This is one of those in case you need reminding articles by Lindsay Berger, a copywriter and marketing maven. It goes to the heart of the matter of over sharing on socmedia. Information is good –  brain droppings need to go out with the cat litter.
