Want to Join Team Going Social? Write for Us!

Hi guys. If you're reading this, you may know that I have a book coming out: Going Social: Excite Customers, Generate Buzz, and Energize Your Brand with the Power of Social Media. I'm pretty excited!

Even though I'm psyched, I'm always pretty overworked, to be honest. I'd love to find some help on the writing side. If you can help me develop content for the upcoming goingsoci.al companion site, in exchange, I'd love to mentor you professionally and pay you back with advice and direction. Or give you cookies.

The right candidate will:
- Want to work hard
- Be a decent to great writer to begin with (linking me to samples = important!)
- Have a high degree of interest in online journalism and/or social media

Interested? Contact me using the Contact form on the horizontal nav above. I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks!

Klout, iPad Mini, and Facebook Top the Weekend's Social 6 Roundup

I'd be lying if I said this was the most action-packed weekend on the Interwebz ever. It wasn't. In fact, a few of the stories I shared over the weekend (and you guys clicked on, shared, repinned, etc.) were published on Friday. Still, I think there are some gems in here - two apiece for Facebook and gamification, for those of you interested in those topics. I'll let the news & views speak for themselves:

#6: Facebook Kills Photo-Tagging Suggestions for EU Users  (Mashable)

#5: Ten ways to gamify your grid (Hypergrid Business)

#4: Facebook to curb frictionless sharing (CBS News)

#3: Klout's recent updates get a thumbs-up from many marketers (BostInno)

#2: Gamification of the enterprise (Computer World)

#1: iPad Mini Rumors: Apple's Manufacturers Confirm Redesigned, Smaller Tablet (iDesignTimes.com)
