Redux: Have You Googled Yourself Lately?

Posted in the Category of ROI and New New Things and Social Media

I’m re-posting an entry I wrote 5 years ago. It still applies. Back then, Googling yourself was a relatively new concept. Now, it’s a truism that Google results are your home page.

Posted May 19, 2004: "Google yourself." That’s today’s pithy two-word tip from personal branding guru William Arruda. As he puts it: "Being Googled reveals how visible you are on the Web, and visibility (at least among your target audience) is critical to successful

View my FriendFeedIt’s happened overnight. Actually, in the past two weeks, since FriendFeed announced a redesign of their site.

FriendFeed has made it easier to find and subscribe to others’ FriendFeeds. 2. FriendFeed is an aggregator of the most used social media tools. 3. You see a mesmerizing real-time conversation

The Inside Skinny on Washington D.C.’s Top 100 Tech Titans

Posted in the Category of In the News and New New Things

The who’s who - and how - of D.C.’s Top 100 Techies is all the buzz in the local tech community: who’s on the list, who’s not, etc. I was delighted to be named a Tech Titan (#100 as it happens, as it’s alphabetical) but I’ve been curious… how did editor-at-large Garrett Graff choose 100 noteworthy D.C. techies for the May 2009 issue of Washingtonian? Graff’s street cred for compiling such a list is impressive, BTW.  He was Howard Dean’s

Catching the Cherry Blossoms Before They Peak

Posted in the Category of Corporate Blogging and New New Things and Twitter

It’s too easy to fall into the trap of, "I don’t have time to write a full-fledged blog post so I’ll put it off til later."

The Challenge of Blogging More… and Twittering Less

Posted in the Category of New New Things and Twitter

I am slightly embarrassed to learn that I'm #6 on the newly published Twitter Power 150 list, inspired by Todd Andrlik's Ad Age Power 150. While this blog used to be in the Ad Age top 100, it has fallen in recent months due to 1.) the re-launching of BlogWriteForCEOs at www.debbieweil.com/blog and 2.) my not blogging frequently enough. Yes, I'm one of many long-time bloggers who has been seduced by the instant gratification of Twitter...
