While making his treks across the country, I got a few minuets with Chris Brogan to talk about what is going on with social media, his new book "Trust Agents" and I get to explain what is ColderICE, LOL.

Also in this video my good friend and mentor Brent Leary makes a guest appearance. This was a blast and it is a must listen for anyone into this medium of social marketing, networking and media. Thank Chris for taking the time with me…Too cold, too cold!

Social Marketing: My Theory of Flowers and Bees

Written by John Comments
Last Updated July 6, 2009

I do not think I could write this out if I had too. My ability to express myself in words and prose is limited to about 140 characters. So now you understand why I love Twitter so much :-)

So here it is, my theory of the most perfect example of social marketing was revealed to me while watching a bee in the flowers. This is by far the MOST POWERFUL analogy of social marketing I have found. And low and behold I found it by watching a bee do its thang!

What the HASH?!? What The Hell Is a #Hash Tag…Finally Revealed

Written by John Comments
Last Updated April 27, 2009

wthashtag logo 320x187 What the HASH?!? What The Hell Is a #Hash Tag…Finally RevealedI get this question all the freakin time! People ask me over and over when I am addressing them about Twitter and mention hash tags. Why is there so much confusion over a simple # sign and a few letters?

I guess it all starts with the geek speak they like to put around it, huh?

Wikipedia  says:

A tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are chosen informally and personally by the item’s creator or by its viewer, depending on the system. On a website in which many users tag many items, this collection of tags becomes a folksonomy.

What The Hashtag says:

Hashtags are a community-driven convention for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets. They’re like tags on Flickr, only added inline to your posts. Hashtags can be created by anyone simply by prefixing a word with a hash symbol: #myhashtag.

OMG, that is way too much geek-speak!!! OK, so let me de-geekify the Twitter Hastag for you…

Hey, guys! Do you follow me on Twitter? For anyone who’s missed my top fives on Twitter from the day before, I’m going to give you a little run-down.

  1. Breast%20Auction%20FULL%20Logo Twitter Top 5 @ColderICE Twitter Recap from 4 9 09"Will Obama Open Up All U.S. Travel to Cuba?" http://ow.ly/2SBF

    Obama’s Administration recently lifted bans on visits to family in Cuba for Americans. A complete lift of the embargo might be ahead soon, which will be great for all the families that have been divided by it.

  1. “How Many Devices Do We Need?" http://ow.ly/2Rcs

    As much as we are promised by the technology giants that there will eventually be a device that will meet all our needs in one, the goal still seems to be elusive. Now we have GPS’, laptops, home phones, cell phones, faxes and camera to help us do our jobs. When is enough, enough?

    Thought that ‘Daredevil’ was just a really bad movie? Ben Affleck has nothing on this guy. Blind from birth, he uses clicking to produce his own version of echolocation.
