I met Adam several years ago at my very first Social Media Breakfast in Boston and was impressed from the start. Whether it's transforming business with social media and community, staying current with his blog or dissecting the latest Red Sox trade rumors, he's up to the task. When we caught up … [Read more...]
@TheCR Quick Chat w/ David Alston
Rachel and I had a chance to sit down with David Alston from Radian6 last week.

In this … [Read more...]
@TheCR Quick Chat w/ Diane Hessan
Diane Hessan from Communispace is one of the most approachable CEOs you'll meet. When you meet her for the first time she really wants to get to know you and listens intently.

@TheCR Quick Chat with Aaron Strout
I've been friends with Aaron since he and I were on the team together at Shared Insights.

@TheCR Quick Chat with Shawn Morton

30+ Years of Community Resources
A couple days ago I paused to reflect on all of the people and resources that have helped me (and The Community Roundtable, our members, and partners) since we launched in 2009.
