Checking out the New Alpha Digg.com
Written by Erika L Rich on July 31, 2010
I've had an invite for awhile now. Finally have a few spare moments to check it out. I'm very ashamed it's taken this long, but it's been a busy summer. So far it looks great! I haven't read anyone elses reviews on it, but I like it. I've always loved Digg though. What I do not like, is having to verify my own feed the way they want me to, which is to post this verification key: 291a67d7aa5e...

Written by Erika L Rich on May 7, 2010
Uh oh Foursquare, perhaps you aren't as safe as my nephew, colleague and fellow Social Media Marketer, Scott Rich, thinks you are.

Postling's Potential
Written by Erika L Rich on March 29, 2010
I spent a few 10 minute bundles this morning playing around with Postling to see if it was a usable service. There are definitely some features in here that I like, especial the "brand tracking". In fact, that might actually be the best feature of Postling. I'm not so sure the web needs yet "another" all services in one application unless it quickly becomes the end-all, be...

Danny Brown: "Sometimes, as marketers and/or business owners, we over-complicate matters and offer so many facts on ideas and products that...

The Buzz on Google Buzz is Growing!
Written by Erika L Rich on February 16, 2010
Ok. Ok. Sorry about that headline. The one thing that grabbed me real quick about Google Buzz was it's name. I think it's "cute" and easily remembered, but also easily made fun of or fit into different tongue twisters, variations, jokes, etc, etc. So when I have the opportunity I simply cannot resist see how many ways I can buzz around with the name Buzz. For the record: I am scared of bees. That ...
