I just battled stores, rain and disinterested people to drop off my Girl Scout Troop’s contributions to an Adopt-a-Family program. My parking space got snagged. My hair is frizzing from the rain. I broke a nail. And, apparently, I have not consumed enough caffeine.
Time to get back into the spirit with my favorite Christmas
I’m speaking on a webinar next month with Ed Poll and Kevin O’Keefe. I’ll have more details on that once everything is finalized. The topic of social networking and advertising came up, and it got me thinking. Social media isn’t advertising, per se, but it is migrating into an umbrella term for everything we
