There seems to be a mad rush to get on the social band wagon.

“Whooaa,” I exclaim. Your website looks nothing like your social media platforms, your tweets or the person you’re proclaiming to be in the world of social media.

CEO's Repeat After Me: "We are Not Afraid to Tweet" + 21 Success Tips

Let me hear it…

“I am a CEO and I am not afraid to tweet!

You wake up in hot sweats after a dream of walking into the shareholders meeting and everyone laughing about the photo that had 2200 views on TwitPic of you at the neighborhood Christmas party last year.

I recently wrote an article regarding my experience with Apple.  To summarize, my point was that Apple provides a full yet simple brand experience. They inspire us to be inspired. Those of you who know me know that it doesn’t take much to inspire a deep thought blog post from me.  A weekend visit to Target sparked a stream of thoughts.
