In today’s SMM post, Mike talks about branding with social media. Mike talks about 3 important factors in branding: personality, association, and attention. Really good stuff, check out the video:
In today’s Social Media Monday Episode, Mike goes through a great review of both Hootsuite and Tweetdeck, which are 2 great Twitter apps. The biggest difference is Hootsuite is a web app, and Tweetdeck is a desktop app.
I have always been a big fan of Tweetdeck, at least over the last 2 years. In the last few weeks I have been testing Hootsuite, and I do like it better since the last update. I prefer an app that runs…
First I want to welcome Mike Stenger back to Social Media Mondays, and say that I am looking forward to working with him again on these weekly posts.

Shutting Twitter down has helped me tremendously with my productivity over the last several days. This is a catch 22…
Mike couldn’t be here for Social Media Monday this week, so I am subbing for him. Today I want to talk to you about email lists as a part of social media. I know, some of you probably think this is a crazy idea, but I am serious about it.
