Gary Vaynerchuk Treats People Like Goldfish

I bet if you were just cruising through your tweets or feeds, this probably caught your eye huh?  You might be thinking that I'mgoldfish just trying to create a catchy title to get you to stop on by, right?  Well, if that's what you thought then you're partially correct.  Of course, I love it when you stop by here and am incredibly humbled by it.  However, in a recent tweet Gary stated that you should treat everyone like a goldfish.  So, what did he mean by this?

Are You Focused

Earlier tonight I decided to watch a keynote by Gary Vaynerchuk that I like to watch often as a source of motivation.  I've watched this presentation when I'm tired in the middle of the night; when I miss being home while I'm 10,000 miles away from my fiance; when I've been stressed out before with projects; or when I'm busy trying to crush it and just want that extra little shove.

Being Better Than Zero and Appreciating It

One of the things I really enjoy doing is to dig through blog archives and read older content. Why? Because most of the time it is still relevant today. Also, it allows you to see the progression of a blog and the person or people behind that blog.

Did You Know Britney Spears is on Twitter?

Over the past couple days there has been some chatter in the social media space about Britney Spears joining Twitter (@therealbritney) as part of her new website which just launched.  Well, Britney didn't just join Twitter but also has accounts on YouTube, MySpace and Facebook.  However, I am more impressed with her and her team's decision to venture onto Twitter.  Why? Because for the past few years every new artist has a MySpace page.  Unfortunately, it is usually just a PR machine for the artist though there are some artists that actually write their own content, respond to fans, post videos, etc.  We have also seen an influx of musicians sign up for YouTube accounts and start video blogging.  An example of an artist who has embraced video would definitely be Diddy who has approximately 280 videos posted on YouTube.
