Why do I Like Tweetups?

Why DO I Like Tweetups

Recently, I was at the #nwitweetup (Tweetup in Northwest Indiana) and Kyle P Lacy was a guest. It was great to have a guest at our tweetup who really “gets” twitter. The success that he has enjoyed serves as a bit of a reminder that this communication tool is more than just a tool. He was a bit inspiring, if you will. Of course, as a guest he was treated to every hospitality, including the one he probably gets everywhere:

“Would you like to address the group”

“not really”

“Thanks, I’ll go introduce you”

Basic SEO Planning for a Photography Blog Post

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Recently I started focusing on my blog again, I started writing some posts and found that writing about the process was a useful place to start. I did this for a couple of reasons. First, I am planning on some serious photography this spring. Yes, I am planning on finding and capturing a bunch of cute baby animals etc… to herald in the best time to be outdoors. Additionally, I felt that by documenting some process I could better formalize a process for myself and any strategy is better than no strategy. I offer these posts in the hopes that you may find them helpful, see what I do, watch as I post results later. Pick up things that work for me, avoid things that don’t.

Spring Cleaning (Twitter) Part II

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Last week I started a social media spring cleaning project, if you are reading this week then I am going to assume that WE started spring cleaning and switch voice a bit. If you followed along on your own twitter account, then you currently have a private list containing people whom you follow but do not follow you. Furthermore, these are people that you have decided you want to continue following. I deliberately left you without two pieces of information though. First, if you are a photographer (this is a photography blog), why does this matter to you? Second, is there a plan of action to reducing the number of people that are not following us back? The answer to the first question is “a lot”. The answer to the second question is “yes”. OK, I will attempt to provide meatier answers than that.

Spring and the Twitter Bird is in the air

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

First, I would like to say that I apologize to anyone who took the time to comment on any of my previous entries and found them sitting unapproved and unanswered. I appreciate that you read them and I have been a bad blogger. It’s springtime and I have been thinking about unfinished projects and spring cleaning in around the house and apparently that is spilling over into my social media activities as well. An additional event that helped inspire this post was that I attended a social media training event hosted by Kathy Sipple.
