BrandingBlog Radio: Dave Young on Why We Blog

It’s all me on this one. Join me on episode 13 as I reminisce about writing my first book back in 2003.

Highlights include me setting Roy H. Williams straight about the definition of a blog. Of course, he isn’t there to argue the point. I talk about how the almost 8-year-old book isn’t out of date.

Most importantly, I lay out the argument that you SHOULD be blogging and at the end I offer a tease about a new shortcut to blogging that Paul Boomer and I are offering to our friends.

I mentioned a couple of project collaborators…Walt Kane and Liz Roscovius.

BrandingBlog Radio: CJ Romberger on Connecting

An interview with CJ Romberger is a tough thing to nail down. I finally got her to sit still long enough to have a recording session on a day when she is monitoring half-a-dozen wildfires near her Austin home, AND trying to work, AND keep track of a whole bunch of other people. I think that’s kind of funny, and if you know CJ, you’ll find the humor in it.

We talked mainly about the rules of engagement in online communication for businesses (and people who work at businesses.)

I’m sure you’ll be hearing more from CJ as the podcasting continues…

BrandingBlog Radio: The Future of Marketing IS Sarah Ripley

I have seen the Future of Marketing and her name is Sarah Ripley.

Craig Arthur brought her on board our Australia group because Sarah is a natural-born networker and a talented and intuitive marketing professional.

I got up early in the morning and she stayed up late at night so that we could talk about her experiences at “Uni” in marketing courses and how the real world isn’t much like the picture they paint in college classrooms.

I had one of my goofy quips all lined up and then forgot to use it. I was going to tell her that I’m a big fan of her museums. Maybe next time…because I’m sure she’s never heard that one before.

Great story on CNN about food vendors using Twitter to announce their schedules and locations to their fans.
