Sprucing Up Social Media Explorer

December 3, 2009 · Comments

Welcome to the new design for Social Media Explorer. I know, it doesn’t look all that different, but I needed to put a new coat of paint on the walls and move some furniture around.

Since the majority of you reading this might be interested (not many first time visitors or newcomers will care), I thought I’d tell you a bit about the changes and why. Perhaps it can inspire some ideas in rethinking your own blog or website. If you don’t care much, just skip this post and thanks for stopping by.

The Power of New

July 24, 2009

This was going to be a difficult post to write. Then I decided to emphasize the new, not the old.
I set out next week on a new venture. New because a new professional challenge beckoned me. New because a tired mind begged me. New because too many voices, only a few of them my own, [...]

Here’s To Knowing Your Audience

September 30, 2008

The first rule of communications, and thus the first rule of social media, is to know your audience. While I can draw anecdotal conclusions about you from comments, reaction, in-bound links and more, I don’t really have a whole lot of information about you.
Because I’m going through the thought process of a reorganization and redesign [...]

A New Look, A New Outlook

March 29, 2008

Welcome to the new look of Social Media Explorer. No, the layout hasn’t really changed, but we now have a logo and we no longer have our masthead in the clouds, even if there is a funky image cut-off I’m still trying to fix. The change comes on the heels of several months of [...]

Who Do You Want To See On SME TV?

March 4, 2008

Going to South by Southwest this weekend offers me the opportunity to gather some great insights and interviews for this blog. There are, frankly, too many cool people, applications and companies to document and investigate, so I’d like your help.
Social Media Explorer TV (that YouTubey thing over there in the side bar) has offered what [...]

February 1, 2008

Alas, the first month of the year is behind us and, yes, there’s still a football game or two to be played. Well, it’s better than hockey playoffs in June and the NBA Finals in July.
In an effort to better catalog the most useful posts offered up here on Social Media Explorer, here’s a list [...]

Holy Fark! Drew Curtis On Fark, Digg, Alexa And More

January 28, 2008

Drew Curtis certainly holds nothing back. In this, the first of a multi-part series on Social Media Explorer TV, the Fark.com founder and grand poobah waxes poetic on Fark, Digg, Alexa and more. A word of warning: The interview includes colorful language, so don’t jack up the volume at work or in front of the [...]

Plenty Of Prom Dates, Never Our Crush

November 14, 2007

Inevitably, when several pretty girls want to go to the prom with you, the one you want doesn’t. Such is life, I guess.
Our Baja 1000 Jim Beam Twitter Tracker, which at the time of this post was still on-going, got a lot of love from a lot of people in the days leading up to [...]

Join Me For Some Real Exploration

November 10, 2007

Social Media Explorer isn’t just the name of my blog, but also my job title. While I threw out the suggestion to Todd Spencer, Doe Anderson’s CEO, as a joke, he cocked his head and said, “I kind of like that.” My business cards arrived a few days later and have proven to be the [...]
