  • Fries King?

    This is one of the those head scratching marketing campaigns. What were they thinking? Burger King recently launched a new line of fries called Satisfries that boast 40 percent less fat, 30 percent less calories and big taste. I’ll attest to them tasting pretty good for lower calorie fries (they’re still fries, so don’t kid yourselves!)…

Instead of simply ‘liking’ the page, you…

  • Fake It ‘Til You Make It?

    In the same vein as my post about fake Twitter followers – Fake Followers, I just read an expose on @shirls – someone who faked her way in to the lives of the rich and infamous of Silicon Valley. A social climber, who photoshopped her way in to connecting with some movers and shakers in the Valley, @shirls has…

  • Fake Followers?

    How many of your Twitter followers are fake? I’ve often wondered about that, as I am a firm believer in authenticity, and creating a community of real followers. So I’m kind of liking a new tool released by StatusPeople that allows you to check to see how many followers you have that are fake, inactive and…

  • Pinterest and Copyright – I Was Wrong

    I was presenting to a group of Yacht Brokers today in Houston. My “Brand Yourself” presentation included a section on Pinterest, with the recommendation that they start participating in that marketing medium. I mean boats = great pics = great Pinterest content / boards. One of the brokers posed the question about copyright. There has…
