Ah, the holidays. My favorite time of year. Time for family gatherings, office Christmas parties, tacky decorations and lots (and lots) of food. It’s also the time when most people tend to take stock of what they have. A time for reflection, and a time for gratitude. I don’t know about you, but I usually [...]
Posts under ‘social media’
One year later.
It’s official. Today The Spotted Duck blog turns one year old. (Photo credit: chrissthegirl) And what a year it has been. Since I started blogging, we’ve elected a new president. One who nuzzles his wife in freight elevators. Since I started blogging, I got engaged. Something I never would have expected if you’d asked me [...]
West Coast bound and #tenbuckthursday
Hey folks, I know I’ve been slightly MIA lately but trust me when I say that work and life have been incredibly busy lately. That’s why you’re getting a two-for-one blog post today. Prepare yourselves. First of all, I’m excited to say that I am headed to the left coast tomorrow for a little business [...]
The big list.
No, not that list. (Wait, which list did you think I was talking about?) I was referring to the list of wedding blogs I read (and yes, it is a big list, as you will see in a moment). Twice now I’ve been asked for this (I guess I’ve blabbed so much about how many [...]
Wow, two posts in one day.
Bet you never thought you’d see it happen. The reason for this wondrous occurrence is that the ever-lovely Ms. Pamela Seiple tagged me in a photo meme. Since we all know what a fan I am of memes (and I think this one works well because it’s so simple), I decided to join in. This one, called the [...]
Social media risotto.
Late last night I found myself in a desperate situation. I was planning to head to my new favorite local grocery store first thing in the morning, but I didn’t have any idea what to make for dinner tonight and thus – no idea what to get. (Not a bad problem to have, I understand, [...]
Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
Last night, the best and brightest in social media gathered in Boston for the first of many events that use social media tools to incite social change – and I think everyone would agree that it was a smashing success. I’m sure everyone’s photos and other media will be rolling in over the next 48 hours [...]
I’m going to Web 2.0. Are you?
Tomorrow morning (dark and early), I’m hopping on a train down to New York City for the Web 2.0 Expo. I’ll mostly be hanging out at booth #1822 with our client, Berlin Partner. Come find me there, or check out my Twitter stream to figure out where I am. Hope to see you there!
My social media manifesto.
Ah, social media. That crazy, mixed-up world of blog posts and comments and bookmarks and podcasts and sharing and microsharing and Twitter. It’s the wave of the future. It’s the information super-highway to the tenth degree. It’s a wonderful, powerful, life-changing, free-ranging, show-stopping, eye-popping thing and it’s all too easy to get lost. My social [...]
A fresh start.
Well, hello there. My, it’s been long time, hasn’t it? I’ve been somewhat neglectful of my blog for a few weeks now, mostly because I went on vacation and took a self-imposed “social media break.” But also because my good friend, Matt Knell, and I have been up at odd hours working on classing up [...]
