Jessica Dickler writes the Hired! blog for CNNMoney. Her most recent post tells the story of how a pilot received multiple job offers after building an online network and blogging about his experience.

by Yasmin Ben-Dror on August 2, 2009

I have been so immersed in Twitter the last couple of weeks, that I’ve forsaken my blogging passion for the 140 character posts!
If you are not on Twitter, well, um, you should follow us: @sandrafathi, @lesliecampisi, @yasminbendror
And if you missed our tweets, I thought of summing up the best ones over the passed week. I [...]

Help: I’m drowning in Social Media

by Sandra Fathi on March 24, 2009

I have had so many discussions lately with marketers and PR folks that are practically in a panic about how to engage in social media. Suddenly, their CEO or their clients are adamant that they need to be on YouTube, FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, blogging…. and a host of other activities. They want them [...]

by Yasmin Ben-Dror on January 28, 2009

There have been some great blogs by the Mashable folks about brands on Twitter.
Here’s the one I found most interesting by Jennifer Van Grove: “40 of the Best Twitter Brands and the People Behind Them” on how these brands use Twitter to their best advantage.

Seth Godin’s Blog Rocks

by Yasmin Ben-Dror on January 12, 2009

I like the way this man thinks, writes, and shares his ideas.
I like his attitude. He’s not caught in any hype.
He’s sensible. He thinks for himself.
He’s honest, cuts through the muck, and tells it the way it is.
I like every blog that he writes.
So you can tell? Yeah, I’m a Seth Godin fan.

The Kerrey Dilemma: Can Starting a Blog Mid-Crisis Backfire?

by Leslie Campisi on December 16, 2008

I just read the post Under Fire, Bob Kerrey Starts a Blog on the New York Times City Room blog. The rather accusatory headline stopped me in my tracks. It seems to suggest that starting a blog under duress can actually undermine the benefits of blogging in the first place.

Social Media Angst: Balancing the Demands of Being a Social Media Butterfly

by Sandra Fathi on October 7, 2008

It seems that everyday there is a new social media network that you MUST join. Even on the social media sites that you already have a profile, there are new groups, discussions and projects that plead for your attention.

Blogger Relations from a VC perspective

by Sandra Fathi on May 29, 2008

I read a nice quick and dirty article about “blogger relations” in Entreprenuer magazine yesterday by columnist Guy Kawasaki. Although I don’t think that bloggers need any ’special’ relationship rules (because we should just treat them like journalists and real people) I do think that Guy’s list gives a great rundown of the common sense [...]
