** This was supposed to go up last night but I had issues with the video upload. The Oilers eventually lost in OT to the Canucks. Poor Devan Indeed.
In its current form I think that the weekly Twitter tradition of #followfriday or #ff is flawed. To make #followfriday actually useful again I think we should get rid of the listed names and instead offer up one follower and a reason why you should be following them.
That’s my suggestion for fixing #followfriday and I will be starting this upcoming Friday implementing this into my #followfriday.
Let me know in the comments what you think about the changes I suggested for #followfriday, if you will be participating or if you think I’m wrong and why.

I’ve noticed a trend lately where many users are simply retweeting others messages and I’m not sure if this is because they are new to Twitter or are trying to gain new followers by simply retweeting. If you are only retweeting someone elses message how will anyone know what your message is? By speaking in your own voice and tweeting own message you will be able to connect with others and build your brand far easier.
What am I doing right? What am I doing wrong? What do I need to address? Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Your social networking experience has very little to do with your friend or followers count, instead it has more to do with the quality of content and effort you put forth in engaging with the followers, friends or fans that you do have. The more you put into social networks, the more you will get out of them.

Looking around I’ve noticed a lot of sites and organizations that either aren’t using social media or aren’t using it effectively and so what I’ve decided to do each week is to provide my opinion on how a site could more effectively use the social networking tools we now have available to us.
For my first What I Would Do video post I have taken a look at the Liberal Party of Canada and their current battles with the Conservative party over the proroguing of Parliament. Instead of shelling out millions in print and television ads I offer a few alternatives that they could use to get their message across at a fraction of the cost.
Feel free to leave a comment below and if you are struggling in any way with social media or just want to brainstorm some ideas for your business please contact me by email, on Twitter or on Facebook and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

There’s No Such Thing As Can’t
Lately, I have begun to notice a startling trend that even I myself am guilty of from time to time. This trend is how often people use the word can’t. To me there is no such thing as can’t, instead what most people are actually saying is that they won’t or that they don’t want to try.
Take for instance my four year old son, the word can’t has slowly crept into his vocabulary and I have no one to blame but myself for it. Now quite often he will run up to me and say “Dad, I can’t do this” and I will respond with “Did you try?” and I will usually be met with the all to familiar answer of “No”.
How does he know that he can’t do something if he hasn’t even tried? How do any of us know we can’t do something if we have yet to try?
This year my goal is to strike the word can’t from my vocabulary. I am going to instead replace it with “I can do this” or “here let me try”. I personally don’t think I can fail if I stop thinking that I can’t and instead just try, because even if I am unsuccessful in what I am trying at the very least I will have learned something.
Is the word can’t holding you back from trying something new?
