“Omit needless content.” –The Elements of Content Strategy, Erin Kissane.
Three words. Huge implications for online business communication. Insight from a smart woman with pink hair.
Erin is the author of a “brief book for people who make websites” published just a few months ago. She’s the former editor of A List Apart magazine and knows a thing about information architecture, user experience, content strategy, editing, usability, and a whole bunch of other geeky web stuff that as interwebs users, we take for granted until we find ourselves staring a site that sucks.

We’ve been screaming, “Content is King!” for years now. Brands still aren’t listening. Their idea of content is an interactive game or a Facebook app. As a social media thinker, but one that has the advantage of talking to brands as the head of an interactive department and, for lack of a better term, chief internet marketing strategist, I’ve now developed several content-centric approaches for either clients or prospective clients. The ones that don’t use the economy as an excuse not to spend the money for development respond with a deer-in-headlights glaze.
