Wanda Rawlins's insight:
You don't have to post to social media-or talk about what everyone else is talking about-especially what you had for lunch or what you are wearing today! Simply talk about problems and how you overcome them. Or give people expert advice and tips and what works or has worked for you. Don't over complicate things on your end-K.I.S.S.

I use a USB condenser microphone that connects to my computer. It’s not the best USB condenser mic on the market, but they cost around $100 and come with a desk stand and shock mount which if you’re not an audio guy, makes the microphone look cooler. Via Ileane Smith

Social Media Marketing While studies have shown that search engines like Google are now counting social signals into your search placements and rankings, this means social media activity is more relevant than ever before.

Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano has an interesting and highly visual post on collecting vs. curating with Twitter, and on the curation potential Twitter has in store for those involved in education.
She quotes Mike Fisher writing: "Collecting is what kids do when asked to find resources for a particular topic. Usually, it represents the first 3 or 4 hits on a Google search, without meaning, discernment, or connections. Curating is different. It’s the Critical Thinker’s collection, and involves several nuances (see Figure 1) that separate it as an independent and classroom-worthy task."
Useful. Resourceful. 7/10

As December comes to a close (and the end of the world is looming upon us), we’re thinking about the whirlwind that 2012 has been, and more importantly, what road has been paved for 2013. With a series of mergers and acquisitions, changes in privacy rules, and dozens of new tools emerging daily, not to mention several major tragedies that have changed expectations of brands and redefined the term “crisis management”, the future of digital marketing is impossible to predict. In an effort to navigate the windy roads to come, ExactTarget has gathered the ideas of 25 social media, mobile, search, and email marketing experts and compiled them into a free ebook – The 25 Inspired Marketing Predictions for 2013. Learn exclusive insights from a smart group of marketing mavens (some of them even smarter than me!) about marketing automation, cross-channel promotions and trends you never even thought of. They may not all come true in the coming year, but they’re sure to give you some food for thought as you plan our your digital marketing strategies for 2013. Delete the scoop?
