How + Why Students Use Social Media

Friday, March 19, 2010

My buddy John Battaglino recently asked me how and why college students use Twitter. Johnny of all people should be interested in this because as the Executive Director of Boston University, it’s his job to put them on the map and understand the student body. Since meeting Johnny last year, it’s clear he is truly in [...]

Where Innovation Happens

Monday, November 16, 2009

Comments

[[If you can follow my thoughts and get through this post, please comment.]] Not to knock social media but we must take a step back. It’s fantastic for communications, but it sucks for innovation. Tweet, video blog, blog, and go to event after event after event and meet the same people over and over again. No new [...]

New-Age Dilemma

Friday, September 11, 2009

Comments

I miss the good old days. I had a land line and an email address. I’d get calls to my house and if I missed them, people would leave a message on my answering machine. When I got home, I’d listen to the messages and call people back. (Let me interject that I would return communication [...]

I know a bit of Spanish. But not nearly enough to be proficient for when I move to Argentina in March. I’ve been ramping up my exposure to Spanish (even trying to hone in on Argentinian Spanish).

Z is sexier than A

Monday, June 15, 2009

Comments

When I want to start a project, I make a B-line to Z. Just straight to the end. Why the heck would I do that? I find it easier. If I think about something too long, it will a) not get done, b) get done a lot slower, or c) get skewed and [...]

Gen Y Talks The Talk But They Don’t Walk The Walk

Sunday, May 24, 2009

Comments

What’s the deal with Gen Y? The rundown: we grew up with the internet. We grew up with having everything literally at the tips of our fingertips. So in that sense, we’re a bit greedy, a bit selfish, a bit entitled, and a bit impatient. Sound familiar? We sound like babies. In any event, where is [...]

I’ve dropped International Business, as part of a long and complicated saga which was prompted by me not wanting to move to Mexico for a year. Now, I’m studying Finance and Management Information [...]

Comments

I’m working on breaking the rules lately. Yes, working on it. It’s harder for me than it should be. But Chris Brogan really has put me on a kick to figure this out and I can’t stop thinking about the fact that to succeed I need to create my own game and break the rules. [...]
