What is your Social Media Mindset?

March 25, 2013 in Social Media

I recently read the The Mindset Divide study from LinkedIN and called asking myself that question.  According to the study these are the top 5 drivers for personal and professional networks: “The biggest difference between personal and professional networking is purpose and mindset,” says the report. “We learned that people exhibit two very different mindsets when they engage on social platforms – a personal one to passively ‘spend time’, and a professional one to actively ‘invest time’.” LinkedIn learned that people using social networks pass time in a casual mindset, […]

Mobile vSphere Lab – Creating Private Network

March 15, 2013 in Networking, Virtualization

Before we start deploying VMs from the template we created, I want to go through setting up a private network as I do not want these VMs to have access to my home network.  Basically you have three options for creating your network.  I know you have more than that, but we aren’t going to go into the advanced networking configurations in this post. NAT In this configuration the host will act as a router that hides the virtual machine behind it. The VM will have access to the network […]

How to Create More Engaging Social Content: Step One, Understand Your Customer

March 11, 2013 in Social Media

Content truly is the heart and soul of any social media marketing campaign. Visual, written or interactive content captures a person’s attention, fulfills a need and/or offers a solution. When a social fan takes action, whether by Liking, commenting on, sharing, retweeting or otherwise engaging, they are giving their social endorsement of the content and, by extension, the brand. Engagement is incredibly important, as it means the brand has hit their mark with that particular piece of content. Engagement is not the end goal; ideally, your content serves to help […]

Putting a Value to Social Media

March 9, 2013 in Social Media

Did that title grab your attention?  Of course it did, that is the magical formula that everyone is looking for.  But how do you get value or determine the ROI of something?  You have to track it with metrics right?  But, in my opinion that is the first mistake.  There are always ways to game the system with metrics.  You want to measure likes/followers, okay I’ll just pay some money to a third-party service and buy them.  It’s easy to see when a company does that you say…ok, you want […]

How to configure the SonicWALL LAN / X0 Interface with Static IP address

March 7, 2013 in Networking

I was recently given a SonicWALL NSA 220, so I figured I would post some on the initial setup and configurations.  The first one will be assigning a static IP to the NSA 220.  At this time I have already went through the out of the box setup but after this I plan on resetting the unit and recording that OOB setup too.   Setting Static IP 1. Login to the SonicWALL Management Interface. (If you are configuring the SonicWALL for the first time, the default Lan IP is http://192.168.168.168) […]

Ultimate Harlem Shake

March 1, 2013 in Non-Tech

Yes, I know I used those words again.  But I promise this one is actually funny ( assuming you have a sense of humor). Go to YouTube using Chrome or Firefox. Type “do the Harlem Shake” minus quotes in the search box and hit enter. Watch the page. It’s not a video, promise.   Just in-case you want to watch a funny harlem shake video, here are a couple of my favorites 🙂
