Impressions of a geeky, anxious and creative librarian. Friday, 2 January 2015. All shall fade: A Christmas holiday of farewells. Back to the Future. The Lord of the Rings. Me and my nephews. Christmas always makes things seem more significant: it's the traditions, presents, decorations, family meals, but mostly the time off from everyday life.

About the Content Cocktail. October 27, 2011. Posted by christinapappas in Social Media. Recently I sent out a tweet saying that I needed to catch-up on my follow backs. As you know, and can easily see from looking at my profile, I don’t follow everyone back. The reason? Hey Christina…OK, so I guess maybe I qualify then for a follow back? Amy, let’s connect so we can chat digitalconnect back? Don’t let me downfollow back. You’re awesome for following back, maybe you can connect with me on Facebook too?

About the Content Cocktail. Don’t Niche Your Audiences Options. September 19, 2011. Posted by christinapappas in Blogging. After asking a few bloggers why I cannot subscribe via email, their response was that the option was there and I probably didn’t see it. Guess what? The email subscribe is hidden under this button:. It may sound silly, but just make it obvious! If your theme is holding you back, get a new theme! I recently wrote a post on Content and the Five Senses of Consumptions and Learning.

However, because it’s a technology, will live on the offices systems and has the potential to house patient data, IT is involved. They are the influencer. How do you influence the influencer? It’s not always easy and there are all types of influencers. As a marketer...

About the Content Cocktail. Participation, Lead Generation and Communities. September 21, 2011. Posted by christinapappas in Lead Generation. Similar online vehicles to either ask questions or respond to questions, but I find both sites lacking in regards to linking that conversation to the ability to continue the relationship after the question has been asked and answered. So why should marketers and brand owners spend time in the groups on LinkedIn? Run search queries. Instead of scanning the daily...

About the Content Cocktail. Complaints, the Other Low Hanging Fruit. October 10, 2011. Posted by christinapappas in Consumer Marketing. I was reading over at the MarketingProfs site on how Twitter Users Wants Brands to Respond to Their Complaints. And couldn’t help but think ‘hell ya we do.’ As Ann Handley. Mentioned in a response tweet to me, Absolutely! Seems like a low-hanging fruit kind of thing. (to me) Complain or praise – it goes both ways. No response – ever. Pretty in your face, huh? This is cle...

About the Content Cocktail. Red Pens, Invisible Budgets and Knowing Who You Want to Become. October 17, 2011. Posted by christinapappas in Marketing. So why am I telling you this? Well, I started thinking lately about the types of people I have worked for and the types of companies I have worked in and found myself thinking ‘I am going to be the coolest boss at the coolest company ever’ and couldn’t help but recall my childhood fantasies of being a ‘cool mom.’. I can just write it. The red pen wasn’t the...
