Wordpress- importing and exporting your blogroll

Funny how hard it was to find a tutorial to import and export blog roll links from a Wordpress blog. So I just built a quick tutorial on it.

The Social Media Coaching Center is growing fast. What do you want to learn? Tell me and I'll do my best to make it happen!

My6Sense released the iPhone app and it rocks!

What the hell is Digital Intuition?
Digital Intuition is a secret.
Something sort of like the Da Vinci code, except Tom Hanks isn't involved and no one is trying to kill us. Yet!
If you think you figured it out, send us an email with a video or description to whatisdigitalintuition@my6sense.com

I've been using My6Sense on my iPhone through Safari for some time, but this new release just blew the doors off the feed readers I've been using. You probably already know how much I like Lazyfeed for it's real time search as well as it's recommended reading based on your networks. Now my6Sense does this on my iPhone. I'm still able to import and browse my RSS feeds, but at the same time My6Sense is analyzing what I read and share and finding things that fall into the same interest areas. Very very cool.
Standing in Line will never be the same again 'cuz I'll be surfing for new links to share with my networks. Go ahead, make me wait.

What do you think about sponsored Tweets?

Iknow this is a hot button topic, and as Twitter becomes more ubiquitous we're bound to see more ads and lets engagement. A while back Chris Brogan and a few others got royally toasted for blogging about their Kmart shopping experiences, even though they fully disclosed what they were doing and why.

Sponsored Tweets (Parent company is Izea) posted this video to show off their new Automated disclosure technology, complete with a violation reporting tool.

So. what do you think?

What do you know about social media??

Every once in a while I get a client that really gets me excited. Composica is one of those clients. See, I've always thought e-learning needed to involve the learner more, and I have a passion for social media (DUH...) and Composic manages to combine those two things into a very cool web-app. The app allows designers to collaborate in real-time to create courses through blogs and chat, and the course-ware itself has all the coolest bells and whistles of it's competitors, but Composica takes it all one step further to include social media elements right into the course itself.

Importing blogs, Google Charts, search and even you-tube right into the course. How cool is that?

I won't bore you with all the details, but here's a social media trivia quiz from Composica. I wrote the questions, and I purposefully made it hard, so it wouldn't bore the pants off the social media crowd, and of course there are questions in there about the most influential people in social media like Guy Kawasaki, Mark Zukerberg, Laura Fitton, Warren Whitlock, Loic Le Mur, Biz Stone and Ev Williams.

So go ahead, take the quiz, see what you know about social media, Tweet or post your results and help me spread the word about Composica.

Charity Water- It takes a global village to build a well


Instead of gifts from friends and family this year, I'm asking everyone to donate a dollar or two to bring fresh, clean water to a village that desperately needs it.  We tend to take the abundance of clean water for granted, we fill wading pools for our dogs to play in on a hot summer day, but in many small towns around the world they don't have clean safe water to drink or bathe in.

I've just posted this page  where you can learn more about the cause and donate a small amount and make a huge difference in someone's life. Just $20 can provide clean water for one person for an entire year.

Please take a look at the site  and help me spread the word about this wonderful organization by sharing the link with your friends and family too. 100% of your donation will directly build freshwater wells and fund basic sanitation projects for people who would not otherwise have safe drinking water.

1.1 billion people on our planet lack access to safe, clean drinking water.  That's one in six of us.  80% of all disease on the planet is attributable to the lack of water and basic sanitation. I hope you can take a moment to help me spread the word and make a difference.
Happy holidays!
