In search for the next big thing…

Wahooly?

We are all looking for the next big thing? I can remember telling my grandfather about a company that had a funny name but it was doing wild things with early searching. Yup, I told him about Yahoo. He invested a little bit, not in the beginning , but was able to cash out before the Internet bubble blew up in everyone’s face.

I told him before he died about the cool things that I would find, trying to get his acceptance.

I think that there are great things out there for us to try:

I still have people at the corporate office who have no idea why having a Klout score over 20 is so important and social media is still in its infancy.

I know some of you think that Social Media is in its prime right now. Those of you who went to CES 2012 saw Intel’s Social Cockpit and was amazed by the information that can be gathered now.

I think that Social Media/ SEO and all the buzz words out there mean NOTHING without one thing.

Content.

It doesn’t matter if I have 200 people or 200,000 people reading my site, Facebook, Twitter feeds etc, if my content isn’t targeted and to a point. Doesn’t matter what the point is, it has to have a point. Read more…
