Social Media
Digg Is Coming Back
Do we care? Do we need another closed ecosystem app? AI is going be involved. Shouldn't we focus on the OPEN WEB? All the questions!

Community
Communities Are The Rage
With centralized social media showing many of us how NOT to build community, people and brands are turning to community platforms to build out their own slice of the Web.
Podcasting
Podcasting & Brand Equity
Podcasting can be a great way to boost your brand equity and grow the exposure your brand has with your target audience in a way that other mediums don't provide.
Newsletter
The Power Of The Newsletter... Owning Your Audience
Having an email list and a newsletter, along with podcasting, is all the rage. With corporate social media platforms looking inward, we as creators have to look outward.

Decentralized Social Is The Best Way... But... Funding
Decentralized social media is the best way to make sure we don't end up with another Twitter/X problem. But funding the decentralized web is expensive and often cost prohibitive.

Video
When Video Matters And When It Shouldn't
Humans, it seems, like to be all or nothing on things. It's a Twitter-killer or a Google-killer. Not here's another way to access content or do things. It's all or nothing. And that's frustrating
Podcasting
The Year Of Both The Podcast And The Newsletter
A podcast in conjunction with a similarly related newsletter is the perfect way to reach our audience and communicate with them on your terms on your owned platform.

It's A New Year! Will 2025 Be A Good Year?
Politics-aside, I'm looking forward to 2025 and it being a much better year for business than 2024. Here's hoping.
Networking
The Power Of In-Person Networking
As 2024 comes to a close, I'm looking back at the year and realizing that the most value I've gotten from my networking has been going to and hosting in-person business networking events.
