Profile Information

About Me:
Social Media Strategist and Creative Director at Social Media Innovation Group. http://socialmediaandinnovation.com

So… Until Google and Facebook merge and create the uber-profile format, here is a generous helping of my profiles from across the metaverse, in no particular order. [I'm adding about 1 per day, so... keep up. And yes that is ridiculous, but that's sarcasm and often that is a hard thing to express over the internet, but I keep trying.]

As a Public Speaker I am Very Animated about the Following Topics:

* Enterprise Social Media Challenges
* Sustainability and Social Media
* SEO, SEM and SMM (Social Media Marketing)
* WordPress SuperForce Developers
* Open Source Community Building
* Virtual Team Leadership

My musical pursuits include:

* Buzzie (my pop rock band)
* Martian Dust Devils (my cinematic & ambient music experiments)

New Apple MacBook Pros vs. The Sub-Branding Horror of HP & Dell by John McElhenney

The rest of the computer manufacturing world has a lot to learn from Apple. And I'm not just saying this because I am an Apple fanboy. (I am, however a big fan of most things Apple. I'll show you my Newton if you ask. It's right over here next to my iPad.) And for today's lesson in branding and branding confusion we're going to pick on HP. (Sorry Dell, I'm giving you and some of my friends still at Dell a break today.)So on my way to lusting after a new Intel Core i7 system, I wanted to see how…See More

What Is Social Media Thought Leadership? by John McElhenney

It's easy to point at Chris Brogan, Seth Godin and a handful of others and get the idea of "thought leadership on social media." And in this tender young enterprise the definition would be spot on. But what about the rest of us hoping to add value and make some insightful observations about social media? What does "thought leadership" mean exactly?By exploring and actively participating in social media, the practitioners begin to get some ideas of how things could be done better, ideas about…See More

Culling the Spammers from My Twitter Followers: TwitBlock.org Rocks! by John McElhenney

From a high of 7,093 I have agressively BLOCKED spammy followers using TwitBlock.org, my new favorite tool. [I'm not sure how I got spam listed by 9 twitblock users, but I have some suspicions.

There's a critical juncture at the end of Iron Man 2, where Pepper Potts throws in the towel. In the romantic version she is doing it because she loves the real Iron Man too much to keep going through saving the world over and over again. She's had enough.…

The First Cut: Applying The Way of the Sword to Life and Tennis by John McElhenney

Note: My actual time with the sword is quite limited. I trained in karate and tai chi during my college years. And at that time, I was on track to begin sword training at my dojo. As part of my initiation into the sword path I was given a…

Looking Into The Mirror: What You Write About & What You Don't Write About by John McElhenney

Writing about stuff is not always easy. Each time I run into difficult times, and I do, I have to make judgement calls about what to write about and what to keep to myself. And if I'm really deep in it, I can't think of anything to write about at all. Because I'm not writing just to put my badge on my sleeve, my goal is to impart some…

Business would be good...really hard to close stuff these days. Being an optimist, however, I would say our pipeline is getting full!

Planning on it. And I have quite a few interviews coming up on Social Media Strategies that I'd like others to know about. One is with Dave Evans, others are folks in the Enterprise IT space (VP at Cisco, CIO for Intel) and so forth for the www.EnterpriseLeadership.org show.
