Searching for your company brand online?
Many a time, I’ve reiterated on this blog how important Google search results are to your online brand. You may recall the article in the Wall Street Journal, over a year ago, that announced you’re a nobody if your name doesn’t Google well. In the age of Google, being special increasingly requires standing out from…

Top 15 Free iPhone Productivity Apps (1.0 and 2.0)
This is the 3rd post in my coverage of iPhone apps. As Kara Swisher says: “Apple has built a platform for adults” although IMO the free ones, in the midst of the 59 productivity apps, cannot be easily discerned by the average user.

Corporate Blogging in India
I’ve always wondered how corporate blogging continues to evolve in other regions of the globe, outside of the US. Two countries we constantly hear about these days are India and China. Yesterday’s discussion on the evolution of the corporate website yielded a few interesting comments, one from an Indian company entering the world of corporate…

Should every company have a corporate blog?
In case you didn’t hear my panel at SXSW, let me reiterate: it depends! I was reading a blog post by the Freshleaf blog, which asks the question: “Should all companies have a corporate blog?“.
