I have a contract for a great company that is full-time for a short amount of time so I am just now getting in touch with my Twitter accounts. For those people who have not yet fallen for Twitter — I believe it just takes time. Why? Because I find some of the most amazing, [...]

TwitIQ: A Quick Review

Kristie Conner — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 23:00:22 +0000

Hello friends, family and guests! I took a short, okay slightly long break, but now I am back with many items to share. My first, TwitIQ. I am testing out TwitIQ and while I don’t think I am using it to the fullest (in terms of functionality) it definitely makes managing my Twitter accounts easier [...]

Private Sample Sale and a Wait List

Kristie Conner — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:33:04 +0000

Here and there I have seen blog posts about Justin Timberlake or Ashton Kutcher mingling and in some cases investing in tech start-ups. Just do a quick search on Tech Crunch and there are plenty of search results. Justin Timberlake is the lead investor in Particle and as Tech Crunch points out he is not [...]

Social Media for the Small Business Owner

Kristie Conner — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:33:35 +0000

Sunday I wrote a blog post about Pete Cashmore’s CNN column. Today, I thought I’d explore ‘how’ the attention economy impacts small businesses and personal brands. Having spent the last 24 months working with small businesses owners helping with their marketing and online programs I have some initial thoughts. One of the first things that [...]

The End of Privacy and the Rise of the Attention Economy

Kristie Conner — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 18:10:15 +0000

Welcome to Media 2.0 and The End of Control. Scary, you bet, especially for all of us control freaks, this statement might just be uncomfortable. It sounds like the title of a Science Fiction novel and it is scary in more than a few ways and just as exciting. If you don’t like change you [...]

The economy is still depressed or is that just me?

Kristie Conner — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 05:27:25 +0000

I’m wondering why the wise and experimental pharmaceutical companies have not invented a drug for the economy. Or, is that what the H1N1 pandemic is? A way to pump up the pharma revenues because who can possibly afford designer drugs? Well, these are questions I will not answer with this blog post, but I have [...]

Twitter DM or @Reply

I have a client who is quite inquisitive and pushes me before I start pestering It is a good thing. Today her question was about Twitter and how to respond to tweets. She basically did a search of Twitter and found that she wanted to respond to some ‘tweets’. This is the part [...]

Facebook Strategies For Growing Your Personal Brand

Kristie Conner — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 04:06:00 +0000

This evening, because I have nothing better to do, I quickly scanned some of my favorite blogs/sites for information and came across “3 New Facebook Strategies for Building your Personal Brand“. In all honesty, I am still not comfortable with the idea that I am a brand. Musicians, actors, models — they are brands, but [...]

OpenACircle — A Great Way to Meet Virtually

Kristie Conner — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 16:09:39 +0000

I took OpenACircle for test drive and from what I have seen I like it. OpenACircle is collaboration meets social networking with an easy to user interface. As a consultant and blogger I see OpenACircle as a great way to collaborate with many people throughout the day. Whether I am trying to explain how to [...]

Facebook Pages versus Facebook Groups

Kristie Conner — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 22:03:06 +0000

One thing I say to anyone I am helping (clients or friends) when it comes to Facebook is “this can change”. Unlike, software, social media services can make updates, changes to their services on the fly (or that is how it feels). When Twitter first added ’search’ some accounts had the capability and others did [...]
