Chris Abraham Internet Stategist: Don’t blame Marissa Mayer if you’re photo business sucks wind Shooters are a bunch of over-sensitive wusses.

Chris Abraham Internet Stategist: The Online Community Is Inexorably Global: Are You? I think “realness” is what’s required in online communications, just realness according to protocol.

Yes, my buddy from central PA calls it a “slice” or a “cheese slice” — the basic slice is a cheese slice to him. It took me forever to adopt it, though people understood also when I said, “I wo...

Chris Abraham Internet Stategist: The Online Community Is Inexorably Global: Are You? We might be from a tribe we don’t like, appreciate, or identify with — so we go out looking for another tribe — and the Internet makes that easier and easier and easier.
