Zuckerberg/Lacy — a Technical (Data) Twitter Analysis

28th March 2008 by Tim Wilson 3 Comments

At the top list of blogs I follow is Jeremiah Owyang’s Web Strategist blog. He posts frequently, with depth, and with insight. However, I was in the midst of a hectic week in Austin when he posted his Analysis of the Zuckerberg Lacy Interview, and, frankly, while the title persisted in a couple of places [...]

Death to “Marketing ROI is Return on Influence”…Please!!!

21st March 2008 by Tim Wilson 3 Comments

I realized that my Data Posts from Non-Data Blogs Yahoo! pipe wasn’t working correctly, and when I fixed it, a recent post from Debbie Weil at BlogWrite for CEOs popped up: More on the ROI of Social Media: Return on Influence. Ordinarily, I’m a big fan of Weil’s thoughts, but this one had me wondering [...]

ROI — the Holy Grail of Marketing (and Roughly as Attainable)

19th March 2008 by Tim Wilson 2 Comments

The topic of “Marketing ROI” has crossed my inbox and feed reeder on several different fronts over the past few weeks. I don’t know if the subject actually has peaks and valleys, or if it’s just that my biorhythms periodically hit a point where the subject seems to bubble up in my consciousness.

Thanks for your patience.

My RSS Feed is Down. I wish you could see that.

Yes, there is irony in putting “my RSS feed is down” as a blog post, knowing that no one who is subscribed to this blog via RSS will get the message!
It’s got something to do with WordPress not playing nice with IIS, as best as I can tell. I am looking into it to see [...]

A Project Manager’s Lament (in Verse)

3rd March 2008 by Tim Wilson 1 Comment

I recently rolled out a project that I’d project managed over a several month period. I like to think I’m a pretty good “natural” project manager, but, every time I really actively manage a project that spans multiple months and involves a true project team, I’m reminded how much effort it takes to do it [...]
