Sean Pendergast of 1560 The Game at SchipulCon

1560 The Game’s Sean Pendergast at SchipulCon on creating loyal fans

I saw a lot of great speakers at SchipulCon this year, which wrapped on Friday. One case study I can’t get out of my head is Sean Pendergast from Houston’s sports talk radio station 1560 The Game. Maybe it’s because my boyfriend practically lived in the student radio station in college, or because my dad works on hardware that transmits radio commercials – but radio seems to be a big part of my life. So Sean definitely Read More!

@BravoTV makes my day!

Many of you know I have a ridiculous obsession with reality television, especially Bravo. I am what you might call a Raving Fan. I will watch whatever they suggest and share the love about new shows with friends! Recently, I have given Bravo some flack (ex. here) when they tried to branch into Twitter because you could tell they really didn’t know how to use the tool properly. My biggest issue is that Bravo seemed to only create a Twitter a Read More!

PR 2.0 – You’re Doing it Right Examples

I just finished the book PR 2.0. It’s pretty basic – geared toward traditional PR professionals who don’t quite understand all the tools available on the web to help them maintain their brands. For someone who understands web tools, the descriptions of how an RSS feed works, how a blog can help you, etc. are probably explanations you’ve written yourself to explain to clients and friends. I did really enjoy the interview Read More!

Social Media – Can it Get you the Job?

It’s graduation season! Last weekend marked two years since I walked the stage in Reed Arena to take my diploma with my left hand, shake with my right, and look awkwardly in the general direction of the off-stage cameraman. I have several friends graduating soon, and I know a few are still struggling finding a job and experiencing common issues - how to differentiate yourself from others, how to show you know what you’re doing, Read More!

Twitter rules of thumb … and keyboard.

CONFESSION: I am a woman obsessed. With Twitter. Ready to join the rest of the class? Photo courtesy of flickr user mallix What The Tweet is Twitter? Defined: Twitter is a social networking site that allows you to post 140 character tweets to the world. Think, Facebook status-sized blog posts. In practice: To me, Twitter is blogging in its purest form, allowing for instantaneous communication among people, somehow maintaining a delicate b Read More!
