Removing the Facebook Ticker
If the new Facebook real-time Ticker feed bothers you, there’s an easy way to remove it.
This month at our New Media Cincinnati Second Saturday event, we’re talking about the flurry of changes that Facebook has recently been rolling out. One of them is the real-time Ticker feed, which appears in the upper right hand corner.
It’s a non-stop, rolling ticker of updates. More than some are willing to tolerate. So for our Power Tip this month, we share how you can remove it. Read the rest of this entry »

Editor’s Note: each month we like to give the community something they can take away from our time together. We decided at the beginning of the year to provide this as a “Power Tip” that you can immediately use. We always welcome guest posts from others who are interested in contributing, and I’m glad that Steve Platt, who’s on the NMC Steering Committee stepped up with the one for this month.
Steve is also the Managing Principal of Bridge The GAPs – an on purpose small consultancy bridging the gaps between Sales, CRM, and Marketing. Connect with him on LinkedIn and Twitter.
The theme at our event this month is “Questions From A Hat”. The idea is that we can crowdsource answers to questions we in the community have with others in the community. It’s nothing that new or revolutionary; we’ve done this in the LinkedIn group for quite some time. The way we do this is loosely based on the popular “Scenes From A Hat” game on Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Before we talk about crowdsourcing, let’s talk about Alltop. Read the rest of this entry »

Social Media and Hurricane Irene
Social Media had a profound impact on delivering news during Hurricane Irene. You could find an NYC Evacuation Center on Foursquare, learn about the aftermath and reaction of Hurricane Irene, view pictures of the calm before the storm, and of course – view “Hurricane Irene” twitter account.

In 2006, both a contact I knew online and a friend from college both recommended Keith Ferrazzi‘s book “Never Eat Alone.” I didn’t need any further prodding; I bought it and read it. Then I read it again, much more slowly and deliberately. It transformed the way I look at building relationships.
