Facebook Changes Page Policy in 24 Hours

Here’s a new one from Facebook and it is a great sign – Facebook listening to their users and actually caring about the people that make their site so great – their customers! That’s right I call them customers, not users, because we are all Facebook customers, whether we pay or not. Yesterday, Samuelson’s Diamonds […]

Stevie Ray Vaughan – Tightrope

All you can do is listen to this solo and smile because you’re watching one of the best to ever pick up a guitar. “Can’t catch a turtle in this rat race…”

The Smart Jewelry Show Chicago

Just got back from a great trip to Chicago for the Smart Jewelry Show where I was honored to be a featured speaker on social media for jewelers. I also hosted a great party at the Billy Goat Tavern for the Facebook Jewelers Network. I’m happy to say that they both went very well. The […]

Do You “Like” Facebook’s Changes?

Yesterday Facebook announced some major changes at it’s annual f8 developers conference. Mark Zuckerberg took the stage to talk about the “like” button roll out, not just on Facebook itself, but across the web. In Facebook, one major change is on fan pages. So now Fan Pages are just Pages, and your fans are connections […]

The Band & Eric Clapton – Further On Up The Road

This video is from The Last Waltz and it makes me smile every time I see it. Notice Eric Clapton’s guitar strap coming loose in the intro and Robbie Robertson picking up the solo without a hitch. Although Clapton dusts Robbie you gotta give him a “A” for effort!

The Grateful Dead Created Social Networking

Way before the internet, facebook, twitter, blogs, and the idea of “sharing content” across your network , The Grateful Dead were sharing their music with fans across the world through tapes, not computers. They were one of the first bands to allow and actually encourage taping of their live shows. How often did you go […]

How Many Hats Can You Wear?

I’ve been doing a lot of things lately business wise. Blogging, speaking, facebooking, tweeting, event planning, marketing, consulting and who knows what else. But the more I think about these things, it becomes very clear as to what I should do. I should be doing what I do best, and it’s crystal clear what that […]

Rite Of Passage: Bad Yelp Review

About a month ago, I wrote a blog post titled “Looking At Diamonds…And Myself” after an interesting customer experience. That experience, along with my reaction to this guy, landed me a negative Yelp review – click here to check it out. I even ran across Inc Magazine’s article “You’ve Been Yelped” shortly after, which describes […]

Foursquare or Stalkersquare?

Being in the social space is often pretty weird. The king of social networks, Facebook, has made it easy to check out everyone’s family pics, personal interests and hobbies, and everything else that you want to know (or not know) about someone. Often these people aren’t really “friends” but acquaintances at best. After all, do […]
