I Love Barbara Talisman!
When I was heading out to the office this morning, I glanced at the 12for12k Twitter stream and saw a response from Danny Brown to a blog post that had been written by someone called Barbara Talisman. Knowing that there is nothing like a good fight to start the day, I felt compelled to read the posts by both parties – Ms. Talisman first. To say I was surprised was an understatement. You can read her contribution to American literature here.... [Read More...]

12for12k – Doctors Without Borders
September promises to be a fantastic month for The 12for12k Challenge. It is going to bring together three powerful ideas: 12for12k: The idea that regular people can use social media to get together and make the World better Global Patriot: Mark Lovett’s vision that patriotism needed be confined by national or regional boundaries – which I subscribe to 100% Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières using the same philosophy to...

Social Media – keeping it under control
It seems to be ironic writing this on the day that Facebook has acquired FriendFeed, but I have to say, I’m feeling that social media has been taking up too much of my time. To be honest my use of social networking sites is a lot less than many people, but I’m finding that 3 blogs, 2 Twitter accounts, 2 FriendFeed accounts, Posterous, Facebook etc is getting to be way too much. Of course this is without my full-time sales and marketing... [Read More...]
Why I’m Liking Posterous
When I heard about Posterous, I wondered if we really needed another social media platform. We already have Twitter for small posts and there are a ton of blogging and social bookmarking platforms out there for everything else. Being curious, I signed up for an account and checked it out. At that stage, this was pretty much all I did, I couldn’t see where Posterous would help me and with 3 blogs, 2 Twitter accounts and a Facebook account, I... [Read More...]

Social Media in Manufacturing
How can social media be integrated into a marketing plan for a manufacturing company that sells to other manufacturing companies? This post has been on my to-do list for a long time. When you bear in mind that I’m a social media enthusiast and a marketing manager for a manufacturing company, you’d think it would be easy. I should be the perfect person to use social media to market to my clients, most of whom are manufacturers themselves.... [Read More...]
Why Support Eye Care for Kids?
A few days ago I wrote about Eye Care for Kids being the July charity for 12for12k. As the first charity of the second half of the year, this is quite a contrast to the June charity, UNICEF. Whereas UNICEF operates on a global scale, Eye Care for Kids works on a much smaller scale, covering the US state of Utah. This is one of the great things about being a 12for12k supporter, the opportunity to make a difference to a diverse range of people, all... [Read More...]
