Utterzcast: Internet Famous

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

I read a nice post by Geoff Livingston at www.livingstonbuzz.com yesterday on Internet fame. He went off on the idea of being popular for popularity's sake, like current Wired cover girl Julia Allyson. I agree, but it obviously works for her. She has a goal and she's reaching it. For those ...

Utterzcast: Context

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

"There's always room for pie." I'm sure that's not the actual caption for this religious painting, but the ad-sticker placed on this newspaper photo creates an amusing context. Some accidental contexts may not be so amusing. Is there anything we can do to prevent them?Mobile post sent by DougH using Utterz.  Replies.  mp3

Utterzcast: Give it Up

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Ever notice that if you stop something for a while, you do it even better when you pick it up? Sometimes you need a fresh perspective- and a little rest, whether you are brainstroming creative ideas, writing a document, or looking for your keys. I find the same effect occurs in ...

utterzcast: PodCamp Boston day 2

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

Well, PodCamp Boston is over for another year. What did I learn? I found people were asking me more questions than in the past. Is that because I've been around? Perhaps, but what I can say is that it is nice for an SEO professional to be able ...

Utterzcast: PodCamp Boston 3 Day 1

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Day 1? PodCamp Boston 3 has gone in a whirl, to be honest. After helping the harder-working volunteers with registration, it was off to my part in a panel with Greg Verdino of crayon, Adam Broitman of Morpheus Media, and Philip Robertson of ooVoo, on "Smart Social Media Marketing." The ...

Utterzcast: PodCamp and sunken treasure

Friday, July 18th, 2008

PodCamp Boston 3 is this weekend, and here are more thoughts on getting the most out of it. Make a plan; like the sign says, sunken treasure isn't going to find itself. Check the registered attendee list at www.podcampboston.org and pick a few people you would like to meet. Pre-introduce yourself ...

Pan Mass Challenge Night at Fenway Park

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Last Saturday was Pan Mass Challenge Night at Fenway Park. The Red Sox have supported the PMC for six years, and its chosen charity, the Jimmy Fund, helping children with cancer, for something like 60 years. It was a sight to see the unveiling of the new PMC logo on the ...

Is email dead? Naw…

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

I have been pretty hostile to email the last couple of years, and will never be moved to apologize to it, should email ever anthropomorphize. However, I do believe that email is a great communications tool when used correctly. One of those conditions is that the emails such as those ...

PodCamp Boston 3 is Upon Us

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

I can't believe that PodCamp Boston 3 is here-- well, almost here as I write this. The event takes place this coming weekend, July 19-20, and there are several things I am looking forward to: First things first, and that of course is self-promotion. I will be joining a panel ...

Utterzcast: Persistent Aggressive…and Nice

Monday, July 14th, 2008

My son. whom I often call "Boy" online, has really impressed me with his ability to get autographs, like this one fom Nick Markakis of the Baltimore Orioles. He knows where to go, he is persistent- and patient- and aggressive without being obnoxious. I am really proud of him because ...
