The Future’s So Bright (At Least It Can Be)

Posted on April 7, 2009 by Jeff

I was replying this morning to a comment from Robbie Newton on my last blog post.  Robbie is a former WAY-FM board member and someone whose opinion I respect a great deal.  As I wrote my reply, I realized this was one of those moments where the conversation warranted a blog post of its own. [...]

Help Me Help You

Posted on March 18, 2009 by Jeff

I’m wondering if you can help me with a decision I’ve been struggling with for several months now.  I should start off by saying if you’re not a Twitter user, you’ll probably be indifferent to my dilemma. Late last year, 88.7 WAY-FM in Nashville, the station for which I serve as operations director, began utilizing [...]

Recently, I was challenged by a new Twitter follower (@normalrockstar) regarding my practice of sending an auto-reply direct message (DM) to new followers. He’d read my post on Twitter navigation and questioned my sincerity.  His DM read in part: Why is the guy who blogged about “interacting with followers” sending automatic replies?

Twitterverse Navigation: Public Figures Who Get It Wrong (And a Few Who Get It Right)

Why Are You Thumbing Your Nose At Twitter?

Posted on January 15, 2009 by Jeff

As you’ve no doubt heard, earlier today a US Airways flight, in a losing fight with a flock of geese, ended up in the Hudson River.  Miraculously, not one of the 155 passengers or crew was seriously hurt.

Social Networks: Valuable Only If You Cultivate Them

Posted on January 11, 2009 by Jeff

Today is my birthday.  And for the last several years, I’ve not thought of my birthday as anything to look forward to.  I’ve certainly not felt comfortable drawing attention to it.  Once you get to be my age, they honestly aren’t a big deal anymore – at least I thought that was the case. In [...]
