Dear Twitter, I Love You

by Jessica Gottlieb on March 16, 2010 · 14 comments

My friend George says that blogging is just a gateway drug. If that’s the case, then Twitter is heroin.
It’s entirely possible that you got an email from me last night that looked like this:
I need your help on twitter.
Can you ask everyone to put #RefreshGary in their stream once every two hours.

Tech Talk Tuesday: Linkbait And Trackbacks

by Jessica Gottlieb on March 9, 2010 · 3 comments

Linkbait is when you post to your site, link to someone else, and hope and pray that you get their attention (and even better, their traffic).
Bloggers (and many webmasters) try and keep track of their statistics. In the year and a half that I’ve had this blog, I’ve gotten comfortable with my statistics and I [...]

Hashtag Spam

by Jessica Gottlieb on March 5, 2010 · 85 comments

Hashtag Spam and twitter parties (they are synonyms). If you are not familiar with Twitter, you might not be familiar with hashtags, surely you are familiar with Spam.
Twitter is a microblogging service. You can update your status using just 140 characters. It’s not quite a bulletin board, but it’s not a blog either. In order [...]

Three bits of Netiquette you may have missed:
Comments: When you go to leave a comment on my blog (and most others) you’ll need to add your name, email and an optional URL. If you have a link to point people toward, this is the place for the URL. When you add a URL in the [...]

LBS, VC, Apps and Me (or you)

by Jessica Gottlieb on February 26, 2010 · 3 comments

If you want to do a little Pavlovian experiment, be present at a VC (Venture Capital) networking event and mention LBS. The VC will probably get slobbery and their cheeks could get red. This little video might explain why search marketing gets hot and bothered when you add location.

What does LBS really mean though to [...]

Tech Talk Tuesday: MyLikes.com

by Jessica Gottlieb on January 26, 2010 · 2 comments

Last week I got an email from Bindu Reddy, inviting me to be a Premium Influencer on MyLikes. After poking around a bit, I decided that MyLikes is a community I’d like to participate in. Everything about it makes sense, as it appears to be the natural growth of Likaholix.
Rather than a traditional review, I’m [...]

Bloggers Are Not Journalists

by Jessica Gottlieb on January 17, 2010 · 45 comments

I know a few bloggers who fancy themselves citizen journalists. It takes a lot of work to be a journalist. I often stop bleeds for my children, administer medication and homespun remedies, but still I am not a citizen medic. I’m just a Mom.
Bloggers have immense value as we offer commentary, opinion and enlightenment. What [...]

I Resolve To Think A Little More About It

by Jessica Gottlieb on January 4, 2010 · 4 comments

Mom bloggers and Publicists have a strange and necessary unnecessary parallel relationship. We both have stories to tell, and we both have a distinct point of view.
Publicists would love to reach you, my readers, my community, and at times I like to share products with you all. Where we differ, is that I’m typically letting [...]
