I've spent the past few days speaking at two very different Government events (one in Ottawa and one in Toronto). Both groups asked questions about the many challenges they face - as individuals - who would like to leverage their...

What's the difference between Viral Marketing and something new called the Viral Expansion Loop? "It's a type of engineering alchemy that, done right, almost guarantees a self-replicating, borglike growth: One user becomes two, then four, eight, to a million and...

There was some very positive feedback from the two-hour session I ran today at the Shop.org Online Marketing Workshop in Scottsdale, Arizona. The session was called, Web 2.0 University (which I quickly renamed Web 2.0 YOUniversity). Here's the session description:...

Did you see Google's announcement earlier this week about Google For Non-Profits? Here's the Blog posting from the Official Google Blog titled, Google For Non-Profits: "Many of you spend your days making this world a better place, and we want...

No one explains Technology, Social Media and Web 2.0 like Lee Lefever and the good people at Common Craft. And, they've done it again. If you're still on the fence about twitter and other micro-Blogging platforms, the Common Craft team...

There are a couple of thoughts rattling around my noggin' today. For perspective, I'm currently bouncing around on a United flight from Halifax to Chicago (lots of turbulence). The flight was severely delayed, so I have no idea if I...

Everybody has multiple customer service complaints. It's human nature to tell and share a story once you feel that you have been wronged. In a Social Media world - where sharing that story with the world is only a Blog...

It was done with the best intent, but failed. Yesterday en route to the Shop.org Strategy And Innovation Forum in Orlando, Florida, I had two Blog postings (now viewable below) ready to go. When I checked into the hotel, there...

Around this time of the year, everyone looks forward to seeing the Google Zeitgeist. The Google Zeitgeist takes a look at what keywords and search terms were most popular in 2007, and what the general public was searching for most...

Did you ever play that game when you were young: you can only choose one... you can't have both? I have been thinking a lot lately about how the Blogosphere is going to evolve and grow. A lot this thought...

Have you tried Twitter or any of the other Micro-Blogging platforms like Jaiku? They are little Blog feeds that empower an individual to answer the question, "What are you doing?" in 140 characters or less. You can add people to...

Welcome to episode #80 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I was worried I was falling into a rhythm of playing a couple of audio comments and then relying on an interview to make each episode...

I've avoided adding the functionality to the Six Pixels of Separation Blog where you get a Blog posting called, Links, with the date after it. I see this on so many Blogs, and I just don't get it. With the...

I think I had a meltdown on twitter today. tweet #1 - "do people really understand the ramifications of constantly sending invites and questions via Facebook? There are ramifications. Major ones." tweet #2 - "ramifications = I think less of...

There have been a lot of people asking me how I am able to use Twitter and have my latest tweet also appear as my Facebook status. I wish I could remember where I first heard about this, but it...

I was doing some traveling last week, and when I got back to Twist Image HQ, I realized that there were over a dozen voice mails for me. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I never check my...
