Automation vs. Organic & Real: what do we lose?

by Ray_anne

Satisfy, Justify, Mystify You’ve probably heard of Spotify. I have it on my iPhone, laptop, and all three of my desktops. I love it. It has changed the way I select, play, and listen to music. If you haven’t yet checked it out, you should. A new world of free music is just a click [...]

Twitter: Communication and Geeks

by Ray_anne

I have written about Twitter often and not because I am an expert, but because I am an avid student and constantly seeking the best way to use the communication tools we have. It is interesting how quickly humans become accustomed to certain behavior and how easy it is to rile them up when that [...]

“Like” Me

by Ray_anne

I sat on my couch munching the contents of a bag of regular Tostitos. Nothing better than hanging with my kids, tortilla chips and some homemade guacamole. Chips and a movie, this time? Ghost Ship, a family favorite - there is a fantastic twist scene when all is revealed, check it out some time. While [...]

The Evolving Rules of Social Media

Social Media: When Sociology and Technology Collide

by Ray_anne

What is Social Media? The fusion of sociology and technology, transforming monologues (one to many) into dialogues (many to many) and is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers. Three years ago, this was part of the definition of Social Media given by Answers.com, as stolen from Wikipedia. I find the [...]

A New Revolution

by Ray_anne

A world that finds distress necessary seems to be emerging. I don’t really understand it, but it seems to be true even as we recognize the need to ease distress, solve an issue, change a course, innovation and provoking thoughts or actions occur. Provocation has, on more than one occasion, driven home the need to [...]

The Elevation of Innovation: What’s Next?

by Ray_anne

Is relevance just a matter of perspective? Of course, it is. I attended a marketing summit recently. It was not a recruiting conference or a recruiting unconference. It was a meeting of local marketing minds from mobile, public relations, social media, and…, wait for it…, the soon-to-be extinct direct marketing. I have attended multiple tech [...]

Google Isn’t Earning the Google+ Hype

by Ray_anne

I can remember when I bought my first stereo, it played cassette tapes and had a radio. It was post-the LP /vinyl album era and pre-compact disc. I LOVED it! Since I have already dated myself, I’ll go one further: the first album I ever bought was Billy Joel’s The Nylon Curtain. Eight-track tapes had recently [...]

Twitter Chats & Generation Y

Twitter chats have changed the way people come together and talk about different topics. I remember back in the day when I would sign onto AOL and find a chat room that fit whatever I wanted to talk about. No longer do I have to go to a chatroom, because everything is available to me [...]
