My Upcoming Social Media Presentations
One of the things that I truly enjoy doing is public speaking, especially when it’s on a topic that I’m really passionate about. Right now, social media is that topic and I’m excited to have the opportunity to go out and speak to others about it. On my “Speaking” page, I’ll try to post my [...]

31. December 2008
The Internet is filled with end of year reviews, highlight articles, and wrap-ups. Predictions for what will and won’t happen in 2009 are also a popular topic for bloggers this time of year. There’s plenty of nostalgia and speculation out there already - I don’t know how much I would add that [...]

14. December 2008
It’s about time. It’s time to stop talking about theories of Government 2.0. Time to stop predicting how the Obama administration is going to use social media. Time to stop whining about all of the challenges involved with bringing social media to the government. Time to stop the boundless optimism about the potential that you’re [...]

As I sat down the other night to write another blog posting for my company’s internal social media platform, I thought to myself what would happen if I were to stop. Stop blogging. Stop Tweeting.

“Why aren’t people using it?” That’s the question I was recently asked by a colleague working on a project where they had just deployed an internal wiki. They identified a need to bring people people together in a collaborative environment. They knew they didn’t have the capability in-house. They researched the latest collaborative software. They read [...]

As I mentioned in my last post, one of the key success factors to deploying social media in an organization is that someone is “a champion.” Personally, I’m living this every single day at Booz Allen - people from across my company are constantly asking for a presentation on social media at their all-hands meetings, [...]

7. October 2008
My company, Booz Allen Hamilton, is actively hiring consultants who “get” social media. Let me explain - as I mentioned in one my earlier posts, I’m currently a consultant within the Strategic Communications team at Booz Allen. What does this mean?

The Coast Guard’s top officer, Commandant Adm. Thad W. Allen, recently discussed the need for the Coast Guard to start using social media like Facebook and blogs to improve communication amongst one another and with the public (Read the full article over at MarineLink). “Whether you’re a civilian, auxilarist, reservist, active duty, contractor or retiree, to [...]

If you were reading the news or traveling by plane today, you probably already know about the JetBlue evacuation of JFK airport in New York today. Turns out the evacuation was precautionary, and ended up being just two paperweights that resembled grenades. However, to a social media dork like me, the really fascinating part of [...]
