BlogWorld 2009 had the innovative idea of hosting a multicultural panel. A clear sign of vision and pulse of the current situation in the U.S.A. I had the honor to be invited by Jose Villa from Sensis to represent the fastest growing group both online and offline: The Latino(a)s! During the session, I was often asked about the Latino blogosphere. What do we blog about? Which language do we use? Where are we? And so forth. This post is an attempt to answer these questions.
Is Twitter Stealing Community from Blogs?
By on January 20, 2010
So after my post about the Social Media Police yesterday, an interesting discussion ensued. In fact, it was probably one of the better blog post discussions of my career. Except it didn’t take place here, it took place on Twitter. That in itself isn’t a terrible thing, but as a blogger, it’s sort of my … [Read more]

By on January 19, 2010
I just read another post about what not to do on Twitter. Yawn. Here we go again. If there’s one thing I’m learning is that there aren’t any rules.

Introducing Civilians to Social Media
By on January 19, 2010
If you listened to Jim Turner’s telethon for Haiti over the past couple of days, a certain topic came up often – whether or not social media people are all preaching to the choir. I thought about this a lot last night. I mean, we all read the same people’s blogs and follow the same … [Read more]
What BlogWorld Looks for in a Speaker Proposal
By on January 16, 2010
Deb’s note: This is part one in a series about crafting a good speaker proposal. Via Twitter, I noted the disappoitment in many bloggers and social media people (including me) when speaker proposals weren’t chosen for BlogWorld or SXSW. So I took it to the source. I reached out to the conference organizers who choose … [Read more]
National Delurking Day
By on January 14, 2010
This is a bit of an old school blog day that we celebrate each year. I think I first posted about this day about 4-5 years ago on my Daddy Blog. What is Delurking Day you might ask? In the blog world, many people read blogs and they watch and read comments all the while … [Read more]
