For the past few years, I have been teaching various clients how to use Social Media. Having a grasp of all things social is wonderful – but it’s only a drop in the bucket. For 2025 our focus is on Social SERVICE, not Social MEDIA. Social SERVICE (consumer focused) approach: I LIKE when I stumble […]
What is web speak? Web speak is a craft with principle and methods that have little to do with grammar and mechanics and everything to do with identifying and meeting your readers need. Web speak is writing with a consistent style and clear sense of purpose. Most simply: Web speak is copy that is written […]
Social media has become dominant, not only in life but in business. YouTube is second only to Google when it comes to search. Nine-thousand one-hundred Tweets happen per second.
