I was inspired by Joel’s post on this subject for APEX so much, that I thought I’d copy his idea. So you’re reading this post on my blog, so you found me – maybe probably via Google. Or you walked into my mom at the grocery store. Either way, so glad you got here. But did you know, there are …
Ranking Social Communities for the Oracle Database Professional
This blog post was going to be JUST that picture above. The size of the logos show what I think are the importance, reach, or quality of their content. But I figured I should throw some words and numbers to go with it. You might now know this, but I’m a bit obsessed with Social Media. It’s worked for me, …
Five (5) People to Follow On Twitter
I wrote this on LinkedIn, but that platform doesn’t play nice with Flipboard, and not all of you are connected with me there. So, if you Twitter, take a second and follow these people. You can thank me later. If you’re looking to follow even MORE people, go read that story, and you’ll see how to fine 194 more.
OT: DBAKevlar and I’s Social Media Keynote from ECO2015
Kellyn (@dbakevlar!) and I have given a couple of talks at the RMOUG Training Days conference about social media, and why Oracle techies should care. We thought it might be nice to focus the talk a bit more and offer it up as a keynote presentation. The crazy folks at East Coast Oracle Users Conference agreed, and we gave it …
If You Oracle Then You Should Twitter Too
Kellyn PotVin-Gorman and I have delivered a social media talk at the RMOUG Training Days Conference two years running now. We have fun doing the presentation, because we have fun being active on social media. We want you to not miss out on what we get out of it every day. This morning I saw a tweet/blog post from Oracle …
Why I Don’t Follow You
A quick disclaimer: I was inspired to write this post after reading AmberIsMe‘s take on why she doesn’t read your blog. It’s not personal. Actually, it is a little personal. That is the point of social media after all, right? Building personal relationships with folks you admire that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to in ‘real life’ Don’t let me …
Klout Lists: How to Make Friends and Influence Others
If you’re here to read another pro or con Klout rant, then please go somewhere else. I consider Mark Schaefer’s blog series to be the definitive take on the whole Klout business. I like Klout, and I use Klout. If you fall into this camp, please continue. Did you know that Klout has lists? You may have ignored them. And …
Goodbye hillbillyToad, Hello ThatJeffSmith!
It’s still me! That dude that spends a lot of time talking technology, databases, software, and the occasional bad joke. I screwed up. @BrentO told me 2 years ago that it’s better to use your real name on Twitter. And I didn’t listen to him. So now I get to take my medicine and go switch everything over to my …
Bloggers want Comments, Tweeters want RTs. I want Both.
So you’re on Twitter. An interesting blog post rolls by. You click on it. You love it. You reward the author with a RT or even better, a Follow, or a reply on Twitter. The blog author, sees said Twitter response, and is like ‘Awesome!’ But secretly, they are disappointed. Why? Because what they really wanted was a RT AND …
A Year on Twitter
After a year of tweeting my brains out for the past year, I have some data I could talk about Boring stuff, even meaningless one could argue. Number of followers, number of Re-Tweets, number of lists, my Klout (link) score – ALL BORING. When I try to convince someone to join Twitter, I never reference these slightly less than meaningless …
