August Insights for June 2009

The latest issue of August Insights, my consultancy's e-newsletter, went out today. You can read it online, and even subscribe if it strikes a chord. This month's issue asks if the traditional Web site, as organizational online presence, is past its expiration date. And, I point out the lesson that Amazon's Kindle can teach us about our customers.

Clearly, posting here has been on the light side. Between a crush of projects with longtime clients, starting up a consulting gig for a new client (B2B services), and juggling a variety of other items, I haven't devoted much time to this poor blog.

That's not to say I'm inattentive to my online presence. Rather, I've been spending more time with Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and LinkedIn. Each plays a role in keeping me connected, and in the flow of shared ideas.

This will come as no surprise to Twitter users, but the platform generates the most interest among clients and colleagues, while being the least understood. My advice to them: Get an account, start using it, and the value will become clear.
