The Tom Peters Weblog 01 Sep 10:
... Tom has quoted Jerry Garcia for years and wholly subscribes to the 'give lots away for free' aspect of their marketing philosophy. Sally Helgesen has a new book out called The Female Vision: Women's Real Power at Work. If there's a single person we'd recommend you listen to about social media, it's Chris Brogan. Thankfully, he published a handbook this year called Social Media 101: Tactics and Tips to Develop Your Business Online. And someone who never ceases to surprise us with revelations about human behavior, Dan Ariely, has a new book called The Upside of Irrationality: The Unexpected Benefits of Defying Logic at Work and at Home. This doesn't fit precisely within the theme of this post, but we want to point you to an excellent resource. ...

... With a strong Twitter following (over 141, 000 and counting), Chris Brogan, New Media president and longtime blogger, would be a fitting author to weigh in with a social media advisory book of his own. Co-founder of the PodCamp “unconference”and co-author of Trust Agents, Brogan has spoken, consulted and blogged on social media. He has condensed tips and tricks from his past experiences into a book called Social Media 101: Tactical Tips to Develop Your Business Online. Hymnal-sized, Social Media 101 checks in at 313 pages thick. It is divided into 87 segments, each a few pages long and consisting of tips on subjects such as blogging, incorporating video, podcasting and developing an online social community. ...

... If you travel at all for business, there is a new travel Blog that is worthy of your attention. Our good friend, Chris Brogan (co-author with Julien Smith of the best-selling business book, Trust Agents, author of Social Media 101, renowned Blogger and co-host of the Media Hacks podcast) has started a new project/video Blog called, Man On The Go. The Blog is all about business travel - from tips and tricks to hotel reviews to other pieces of interesting content. The back-story is that Chris is looking to expand and extend his empire, and in the process is developing a bunch of knowledge products and educational programs to sell online. ...

... It's not just a blockbuster movie with George Clooney. It's becoming a cultural way of being. It turns out that the more connected we are, the more inclined we are to make those connections in our protein forms as well. Another indication of this interest comes from Chris Brogan (best-selling business book author of Social Media 101 and co-author with Julien Smith of Trust Agents). A few weeks back, Brogan launched his latest project: a new travel Blog for business professionals titled, Man On The Go. Two days ago, he had a video Blog post entitled, Travel Tips For Air Travel (which you can view below). As someone who has already clocked clocked close to 90, 000 air miles in 2010 alone, I thought I would add some additional tips. ...

... We can be following a large percentage of the same people and yet have a completely different Twitter experience (more on that here: The Trouble With Twitter - Confessions Of A Twitter Snob and here: The Dirty Little Secret Of The Twitter Elite). I love Twitter because I follow people who provide smart, cutting edge (and sometimes edgy) bits of inspiration, thoughts and links that Google Reader could never provide (it's as Chris Brogan - author of Social Media 101 and co-author with Julien Smith of Trust Agents - calls a "serendipity engine" of glorious information). Personally, I'm less excited about the back and forth banter between two individuals. Celebrating the two. Twitter (like most other channels and platforms in Social Media) is not about being one thing to many people. ...

... This Blog is our business. So, when you think you're too busy to Blog or other priorities float on to the radar, try not to forget that Blogging (if it's a part of your overall business strategy) is your business and the important work that must get done. What do you think? A special thanks to Chris Brogan (author of Social Media 101 and co-author of Trust Agents with Julien Smith) for the inspiration with his Blog post: Your Blog Is Not Your Job.

... Almost all of the time, we forget that whatever story it is (the one that gets someone to buy something or the one that tells us we're depressed) can be changed, reinvented into whatever it is that we want it to be. The people who change their stories are the ones who usually overcome tremendous challenges. The brands that change their stories are the one who usually become unforgettable. Chris Brogan (author of Social Media 101 and the co-author of the best-selling business book, Trust Agents, along with Julien Smith) passed me his copy of the book, A Million Miles In A Thousand Years, by Donald Miller (you can see his video book review below) while we were in Salt Lake City together. The truth is that I have been falling behind in my book reading, but based on Brogan's rave review, I dove right in. ...

... The crux of it is this: if you want to use Facebook, and it's free you're going to have to be very comfortable with the fact that your information could become public. On the latest episode of the Media Hacks Podcast (SPOS #202 - Media Hacks #28), Chris Brogan (co-author with Julien Smith of Trust Agents and the author of Social Media 101) reminded us that everything we say and do online is being recorded and it's forever, so you must guide yourself accordingly (it's all public - from text message and emails to status updates and who you're poking). As Facebook continues to look for more revenue streams, their only choice is to open up and make more of their content (or your information) public. ...

... The truth is that everything online is not free (it just is for the vast majority). When you live online (yes, I'm looking directly in the mirror), you quickly begin to realize that you're never better off with a free service, and that was validated twice this week. Both Chris Brogan (co-author of the best-selling business book, Trust Agents with Julien Smith and author of Social Media 101) and C. C. Chapman (Managing The Gray) got shut out of the Google accounts. Read Brogan's gripes here: When Google Owns You - A New Chapter. Read Chapman's gripes here: Google Has Forgotten The Customer. By doing some quick online searches, you'll see that issues like this aren't exclusive to Google. ...

... You are going to be reading a lot of Blogs in the next little while where the Blogger is either being paid or given free product to shill some wares in their own personal space. That's one of the big things that happens when a big interactive conference like SXSW takes place. In fact, Media Hacks co-host, author of both Trust Agents and Social Media 101 business books, and all-around good guy, Chris Brogan, just posted, Nikon Just Let Me Use a New Camera, to his Blog. It's interesting to read his perspective on Blogger outreach. . . "First, I'm telling you, 'Hey, look! Nikon wants you to see me making their camera take fuzzy shots because I'm not a good photographer, but darn it - they like me!' Second, I'm saying, 'as marketers, take a look at this kind of outreach and ask yourself what's the yield. ...

... and he only posts once a week. That's his pulse. It works for him and it works for his community. Layer that against a similar busy person like Chris Brogan, who has one of the most popular Blogs out there, has authored two books (Trust Agents along with Julien Smith and his recently published, Social Media 101), has his own company (New Marketing Labs), and still manages to both Blog and tweet at an amazingly frenetic and frequent daily pace, and you'll soon begin to realize that the quantity of the content that these two individuals are producing has little to do with their overall ...

... In the book, Social Media 101: Tactics and Tips to Develop Your Business Online, my new book, I told people to come by and comment on parts of the book. Here’s the page for that. If you’re here, it means you’re part of the conversation. If you’ve yet to pick up Social Media 101, it’s more like a reference book for the revolution than it is a breakthrough. I’m proud of the book. It’s comprised of some of the best of my writing from this site. I’d love for you to be part of it. And thanks to those of you who bought the book. It means a lot that ...

... a new way to deliver media in multiple channels and methods. I want to help some of traditional media’s folks with how to better use the web, so I’m going to find some of the folks displaced by the web and help them grow a new type of following. For my writing, I want my new book, Social Media 101: Tactics and Tips to Develop Your Business Online (amazon affiliate link), to do reasonably well. I also can’t wait to work with Julien on our new book (no details on that yet). For my new business, I want to supplement the education of 35-55 year-olds in matters of ...
