Webinars: Love ‘Em or Hate ‘Em?

February 17, 2014 by JakeWengroff Leave a Comment

Embed Codes Continue To Be a Reliable Tool, But Also Extend Monetization of Content

October 8, 2013 by JakeWengroff Leave a Comment

Embed codes are a social media manager's best friend.  They are the fastest, most efficient, and most legal way of finding content published on social networks and then re-posting it to one's own blog or website. The embedded content jazzes up a website quickly (including this one), and also contributes to the site's SEO.  The rich, multimedia content usually renders beautifully whatever the underlying content -- videos, photos, slideshows, even documents. Of course, embedding isn't … [Read more...]

Decisions, Decisions: Features of Online Communities

July 15, 2013 by JakeWengroff Leave a Comment

  Open or Closed? A community can be open or closed.

What Yahoo Will Do with Tumblr

May 19, 2013 by JakeWengroff Leave a Comment

With the news that Internet behemoth Yahoo will buy blogging and content platform Tumblr for $1.1 billion in cash has many analysts, including this one, wondering what will happen next. Yahoo clearly wants to buy its way into the social media elite.  In December 2005, Yahoo bought social bookmarking site Delicious, but it later sold it in 2011 to the founders of YouTube.  In September 2006, it offered to buy Facebook for $1 billion, but Facebook walked away.

Does Your Website Act as a Lead Generation Tool or Community — or Neither?

May 19, 2013 by JakeWengroff Leave a Comment

I'm happy that most companies, small businesses, and individual professionals are aware of the importance of having a website. But is your or your company's website still nothing more than brochureware -- with only pages for Home, About, Products and Services, Who We Are, and Contact Us? Though the cost of building and running a website today is low -- or even free, thanks to such services as Wix and Weebly -- the attention it deserves usually results in higher costs (time and hiring a Web … [Read more...]

April 2, 2013 by JakeWengroff Leave a Comment

Today's news that Toronto-based press release distribution company Marketwire is rebranding itself to Marketwired -- yes, you read that correctly, all they did was add a 'd' -- had me thinking:  how much longer will press release companies continue to sell the traditional press release (i.e, exist)?
