Community Shock Redux
Community Shock redux explains an epiphany. Almost a year ago (June 19, 2015) we had a vision. We didn’t take peyote or dance around a campfire. We saw the next big CRUSH in online marketing three years (at least) before the need for community hit online commerce like, today we saw something that shortened our timeline by a year.

Se what we saw and from whom on Curagmai.com .

Marketing Plans? Maybe, Maybe Not | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Marketing Plans Ain't What They Used To Be
Many of the experts answering this questions are talking about the usual suspects, the usual suspects to create a "fantastic" marketing plan. In today's Quora "Answering A Marketing Question A Day" we explore some non-traditional "planning" thinking. 

Watched Joi Ito talk about NOWISM yet? You should since his ideas about operating in real-time (or near real-time), pulling from the web and collaboration are going to rock all "Marketing plans" to within an inch of their lives.

Leaving Wordpress Redux via Curagami

Leaving WordPress Redux

One of the most controversial Curagmai posts we've shared is our 5 Reasons For Leaving Wordpress (http://www.curagami.com/5-reasons-we-are-leaving-wordpress/ ). Wordpress leveled Curagami.com's Google Karma by mysteriously toggling a "nofollow" button to the ON position. 

Why such a button exists when everything else we want to do in the HEAD portion of the page is hidden in 10 PHP files we have no idea. How the switch got moved is a mystery probably solved by adding on one too many plugins. This post shares the many great comments, reactions, and support received after publishing the post on our blog, Linkedin, @Scoopit and Gplus.

Great Curators Needed: Cure Cancer Stores via Curagami

Great Curators Needed: Cure Cancer Stores via Curagami | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

Cure Cancer Stores - Buy, Create Love
Curagami's new Cure Cancer Stores launched today with an Amazon store and a Zazzle store, but our real potential lies in tomorrow. Tomorrow we hope to make creating a store to fight cancer as easy as filling out a form. 

We want great curators like our friends on Scoop.it to share their desire to cure cancer, fill out a simple form every now and again so our new tool can build a store around @Cendrine Marrouat - https://www.cendrinemedia.com, Mark Traphagen or Janet Kennedy''s latest purcchases and brands they love.

Earch purchase from a click on  a Curagami Cure Cancer store generates a little check from Amazon, Best Buy or whoever to help cure cancer. We've raised almost $100,000 in cancer research funding, but curing cancer will take much, much more. No bucks, no Buck Rodgers so help by filling out the form on Curagmai signaling your desire to create a Curators Against Cancer store. 

Thanks, Marty

  • Marketing Listens over Time

  • Alignment where US (marketers) and THEM (customers) become WE is the goal
  • The “Sweet Spot” of “perfect alignment” never lasts
