A lot of blogs put there are not really blogging blogs, they are just a mixed up of blogging tips with other random topics; but I have taken my time to visit the blogs listed here and verified that they are truly blogging blogs.

One thing I will want you to do for me is to hit the sharing buttons, It will mean a lot to me considering the time that I have invested into compiling this list. So, SHARE THE HECK OUT OF THIS POST!

Once upon a time, when federal employees used personal email for government communication, it was easy to call evasion, subterfuge or plain old trickery aimed at avoiding federal records-preservation requirements.

When some of President Bush’s political advisers used Republican National Committee accounts — designated for political-only emails — to communicate about the firing of U.S. attorneys in 2007, the White House was quick to admit fault, launch an internal investigation and beef up its own email retention policy.

As email and other forms of digital communication have become ubiquitous in Washington and elsewhere, though, it’s become increasingly difficult to stanch the flow of emails leaking between professional and personal accounts.

At the same time, new third-party sites and services such as Facebook and Twitter have proliferated, making it difficult and confusing for federal officials to properly store information that should be available for Freedom of Information Act requesters and future historians.

How, for instance, should a federal official handle a text message to a personal cellphone from a friend and coworker that contains mostly personal information but one piece of important business? These questions become harder when it comes to new applications such as SnapChat that are specifically designed to make it difficult to preserve information, said Andrew McLaughlin, a former deputy U.S. chief technology officer.

McLaughlin raised such issues Tuesday during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing focused on preventing federal transparency law violations.

Officials at the White House and most federal agencies are allowed to conduct some business on personal email accounts if their work accounts are unavailable but are instructed to forward those emails to a work account so they’re discoverable during FOIA requests. The oversight committee’s ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., hasintroduced legislation that would make copying such emails within five days a legal requirement.

McLaughlin was reprimanded in 2010 when the response to a FOIA request revealed he had conducted some White House business on his Gmail account and not forwarded the messages, violating the 1978 Presidential Records Act.

On Tuesday, McLaughlin called himself “a poster child for the typical mid-level official who tries to be conscientious [about maintaining federal records] but misses some things.”

He suggested that agencies or lawmakers should create a standard method such as using screenshots for federal employees to transfer information from third-party services such as text messages and Facebook posts to FOIA-able government email accounts.

McLaughlin also suggested that during records management training, federal employees should be urged to put language in the signature lines of their personal email and social media accounts urging people to contact them via government email for official business.

If employees are wary of their government accounts being spammed, they could use automated forms that forward information to those accounts but hide the addresses, he said. Many media companies use similar forms.

House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has been pressing for more accountability and traceability of federal workers’ emails since soon after he took over the chairmanship in 2011. Witnesses at Tuesday’s hearing were all Obama administration officials who had also failed to forward records from personal to government email accounts that were later discovered by FOIA requesters or congressional investigators.

In most cases, the officials attributed the failure to poor oversight, long work hours and a deluge of email that sometimes blurs the lines between personal and professional.

Republican committee members lashed out at former Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson over an email exchange with a friend who was also a registered lobbyist and had requested an official meeting with Jackson within the email chain.

Jackson, who asked the friend to send future emails to a personal account, told lawmakers she believed the friend had completed her official business and that the remainder of the email chain would just be old friends chatting. Issa shot back that, by moving the conversation to a personal account, Jackson was effectively giving herself authority, rather than a FOIA officer, to decide where the line lay between a public official talking with a lobbyist and two friends catching up.

	Your Story is Your Brand Tweet inShare We were halfway to my daughter's piano lesson one freezing night when she asked me "Don't you wonder about people who tell you what to think of them?" "I'm not sure what you mean," I said. It was three degrees out. I was stuck in traffic, and focused more on the icy road than my daughter's question. "Can you give me an example?" "Well," she said, "there are kids in my choir at school who say 'I like the way you sing,' and other kids who say 'You are almost as good a singer as me, and I'm the best singer in this choir.'" "You mean, kids who brag about themselves?" "Yes," said my daughter, "but I'm talking about a certain kind of bragging. If a girl says 'I made the dance team, isn't that awesome!?' we all scream and we're happy for her. She's allowed to brag, because it's good news and she's happy and we're happy for her too. I'm talking about kids who can't just tell you something good happened to them. They tell you what to think, instead of letting you decide for yourself." "Aha," I said. "What made you think about that just now?" "When I was getting your car keys from your office," she said, "I saw a letter on your desk. A guy wrote to you to say 'I'm the best software salesperson in Chicago.' I mean really, Mom. A grownup has to know how silly that sounds, right? Who could call themselves the best software salesperson in Chicago, or anywhere? How would anyone know that? It's juvenile. But the guy had a long resume. He must be forty-five years old." "What do you think makes people talk about themselves that way?" I wanted to know. "I guess if they don't tell you they're fantastic, they won't believe it themselves." Wow, I thought. Not bad for fourteen years old. That's good training - she'll need these lessons later in life. "About the best sales guy in Chicago," I asked my daughter, "what do you think he really thinks about himself?" "He probably hopes he's a good salesperson," she answered. "He probably wants to be one. I think he throws out that Best Salesperson in Chicago thing hoping that if he says it himself, it might come true. I feel sorry for that man. How is he different from a kid who says 'I'm the best singer in this choir?' When someone says that, everyone else in choir rolls her eyes. Don't grownups roll their eyes when they hear someone say 'I'm the best salesperson in Chicago?"' "You would think so," I said, "but grownups have drunk a lot of Kool-Aid that tells them it's perfectly fine to brand yourself that way, as silly as it sounds." Just then the light turned yellow in front of me, and I rolled to a stop. The car pulling through the intersection in front of me, beating the light, had a bumper sticker that read STEP OUT OF FEAR. Isn't that the truth? I asked the universe. We've been taught to brand ourselves with fearful zombie branding that screams "Look at me! I'm awesome!" when the human subtext of our branding choices says otherwise. No self-styled Dynamic Recruiting Professional or Results-Based Marketing Leader can convince us that he or she is a thoughtful, self-assured adult, because the fearful/boast-y branding tells us all we need to know. Personal brands stuffed with praising adjectives like Savvy, Seasoned and Strategic tell us "I don't know you, but I have to let you know that I'm awesome, right off the bat." Robot language like "Bottom-line-focused professional" tells us that a person doesn't know what to say about himself, and so reverts to the done-to-death standard script. Trophy-based branding like "A Stanford MBA and ten years at Google made me the branding expert I am today" says "I don't know who I am, beneath the degrees and titles." Superlatives like "I'm the best software salesperson in Chicago" make me want to hug a person and say "You are fine, whole and worthy whether you ever sell another piece of software or not." We can brand ourselves like humans, just by telling our stories. We can do it in our LinkedIn profiles, in our resumes and verbally at job interviews and networking dates. One of the strangest aspects of the Godzilla branding mindset is the mantra "People brand themselves using zombie language because that's what recruiters want to see." Really? That is not my experience - not by a mile. People who sound like humans rather than machines in their self-descriptions attract other self-assured and eyes-open people, including hiring managers, HR folks and third-party recruiters. What I get out of the argument "I don't like to sound so robotic, but it's necessary" is less "I don't think a human voice in my profile would help me" and more "I'm afraid to sound like myself. It feels very exposed to take off the Full Metal Business Jacket and tell my authentic human story." Yet who wouldn't find it easier to say "I wasn't sure what to do after college, but my buddy knew a guy in software sales, I fell into and realized I love it" than to make up imaginary Chicago's-best-salesperson awards and confer them on ourselves? Isn't it more honest, and more humble? Most of us have read the Personals ads at some point, out of curiosity if for no other reason. We wince at the men-seeking-women ads from guys who say "I'm so hip and sexy, chicks really dig me" and from women who write "I'm 40, but I look twenty." Ouch!, we think - is that the only way these people know to present themselves to the world? It's no different in business branding. We've been told for years to lead with the good stuff in our self-descriptions, begging the question "What is the good stuff?" The good stuff, of course, is the real stuff - the human stuff. We can tell our stories, stay in our bodies, and relax. The people who get us, deserve us. The people who don't like our stories are welcome to keep looking. We don't need them, and we'll get stronger when we glide right past them on our paths. If you're wondering what a simple Story Branding paragraph might look like in a LinkedIn profile, here are two examples: I grew up in big-company Sales management before launching my consulting business, Top Dog Consulting, in 2004. I help Sales leaders get the right people onto their teams and design sales-territory and sales-comp plans that let salespeople focus on customers instead of obscure sales metrics. I just graduated from Loyola University with my BA in Sociology. I was a Resident Advisor for three years, playing mother hen to twenty-six undergrads, so I know something about human problem-solving in the clinch. I want to help a Chicago company as an inside salesperson or entry-level marketer. Tell me how I can help you! We don't have to blather on about Strategic Initiatives, bottom-line results, cross-functional teams, multi-skilled self-starters and the rest of the Godzilla lexicon. We can just say "Here's me." Does your LinkedIn profile bring across your human story, or is it obscured behind layers of corporatespeak robot language that sucks the human juice out of it? If you've got a Darth Vader-type LinkedIn profile and resume, I don't blame you, because countless articles and books have told us to describe ourselves that way. We are entering the age of the Human Workplace, and the Zombie Branding Paradigm is falling away. We can step into our own voices now, and sound like human beings everywhere we go- even at work.

	Here is partly why there is such confusion and no right or wrong at the moment it seems. These are why the author calls emergent times and puts a good spin on things. The Future of Marketing Has Little To Do With Marketing Posted September 13, 2013 Keywords: Best Practices, Social Media Marketing, Content, Branding,Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, Social Networks While I don’t always have the ability to say yes to writing forewords, I do find time now and then to do so. One of the conditions however is that I’m allowed to share my thoughts, unabridged, with you here. The latest is for a new book, Share This Too, released by Wiley, the publishing house that I also worked with on #WTF, #EOB, #Engage. Thank you to my good friend Paul Fabretti for the opportunity… The follow up to Share This: The Social Media Handbook for PR Professionals, Share This Too is a practical handbook that outlines the changes taking place in media and marketing. Written by 24 marketing and public relations practitioners, the book covers the state of the media and public relations industry, social media strategy, technology and social networks, online media relations, monitoring and measurement, new skills and expertise, and the future of the industry. Without further delay, allow me to share this (foreword) too… The Future of Marketing Has Little To Do with Marketing Do you realize just how much is changing right now? I promise you that it’s bigger than you think. And your role in this is also much grander than you know or believe. See, disruptive technology, social networks, new influencers, they’re leveling the media hierarchy. The ado of crafting messages, pushing them upon targets, and propagating while attempting to control your story is not only the old way, it’s the very thinking that’s at the forefront of new communications. This isn’t about the new tools that are before you. This isn’t about social media or popular social networks. This isn’t about bloggers and blogging. Nor is this about tablets, smartphones, and the app economy. This is about putting the public back in public relations and social in social media and that has nothing to do tools or technology we overly celebrate today. Slow down. Take a breath. While there’s an abundance of change there isn’t a wealth of innovation in processes or methodologies. The truth is that in a time when we could change everything, we’re running without clarity of direction or vision. We’re not necessarily talking about a revolution as much as we’re conforming revolutionary opportunities into familiar packages. We’re merely taking what we know and applying it to what’s new. In many ways, we’re working against ourselves. But, what’s happening right now is both revolutionary and evolutionary. And in the face of the unknown it is courage the carries us forward and creativity that will open new doors. This is a time to rethink the value proposition of marketing and communications and your role within it. Why is what you do important? Stop. Try that answer again. There’s a reason that your friends and family have a hard time understanding what you do for a living. It’s because the value you think you provide and the opportunity that is presenting itself to you are in fact two very different things. Essentially, your experience carried you this far but it is your vision and ambition that will carry you forward. Think again about the value you offer and the value that others say you deliver. Allow me to share a slice of my life with you… I’ve fond memories of surfing. I would grab my board and wetsuit, play great music, and head for the beaches of Southern California. The ocean was my sanctuary as I would surf for recreation, therapy and also tranquility. There was just something about the smell of the ocean, the sound of the waves, and the ability to dance with Mother Nature in a way where she let you lead and you appreciated the momentary gesture. When snow boarding grew in popularity, I immediately embraced it. I did so because I saw it an art form that was easy to categorize against something familiar. In fact I thought of it as winter surfing and I was wrong to do so. I brought to something new my previous experience and expected it to carry me forward into new territory in a very different environment. What I didn’t bring along was a new and open mindset. I over confidently got on my board, leaned back as you do in surfing and set out to surf that mountain the way I thought I should. I learned, quite painfully, that I did the very thing that you’re not supposed to do. See, in surfing, and skateboarding, your back foot is essentially the rudder. You steer by leaning back and using your back foot to steer your course. In snowboarding, it’s the exact opposite. You lean forward. All it took was someone to point out that there was a different philosophy to the approach. Once they did, I was as soulful on a snowboard as I was surfing. It just took an open mind, perseverance, and several ice packs. Today in what is nothing less than an emergent moment for marketing and communications, I see even the best of them leaning back instead of leaning forward. It takes a different philosophy. It takes a different approach. If you take a moment to think about it, everything is different about what’s taking place now and its direction and future is unwritten. Again I ask. What is the value of what you do? What’s in it for you, your business and those with whom you engage? This time, think about it beyond the company you represent. Think about it from the perspective of the people you’re hoping to reach…every step of the way. People are part of everything you do now and you are also among them. Value is not boundless. Value in the eye of the beholder and it varies based on the context of the relationship and your desired outcomes. It is relationships after all that form the foundation of business. Marketing and communications are merely enablers for conveying value while also investing in and reinforcing relationships. What you do and how you do it now serves a higher purpose. This is why I believe that your role in this is much grander than you may realize or believe. Lean forward. http://socialmediatoday.com/briansolis/1737326/future-marketing-has-little-do-marketing

	US & World Think Managing Federal Email Records Is Hard? Wait for Snapchat Records JOSEPH MARKS for Nextgov 10 hours ago Follow @nextgov Once upon a time, when federal employees used personal email for government communication, it was easy to call evasion, subterfuge or plain old trickery aimed at avoiding federal records-preservation requirements. When some of President Bush’s political advisers used Republican National Committee accounts — designated for political-only emails — to communicate about the firing of U.S. attorneys in 2007, the White House was quick to admit fault, launch an internal investigation and beef up its own email retention policy. As email and other forms of digital communication have become ubiquitous in Washington and elsewhere, though, it’s become increasingly difficult to stanch the flow of emails leaking between professional and personal accounts. At the same time, new third-party sites and services such as Facebook and Twitter have proliferated, making it difficult and confusing for federal officials to properly store information that should be available for Freedom of Information Act requesters and future historians. How, for instance, should a federal official handle a text message to a personal cellphone from a friend and coworker that contains mostly personal information but one piece of important business? These questions become harder when it comes to new applications such as SnapChat that are specifically designed to make it difficult to preserve information, said Andrew McLaughlin, a former deputy U.S. chief technology officer. McLaughlin raised such issues Tuesday during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing focused on preventing federal transparency law violations. Officials at the White House and most federal agencies are allowed to conduct some business on personal email accounts if their work accounts are unavailable but are instructed to forward those emails to a work account so they’re discoverable during FOIA requests. The oversight committee’s ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., hasintroduced legislation that would make copying such emails within five days a legal requirement. McLaughlin was reprimanded in 2010 when the response to a FOIA request revealed he had conducted some White House business on his Gmail account and not forwarded the messages, violating the 1978 Presidential Records Act. On Tuesday, McLaughlin called himself “a poster child for the typical mid-level official who tries to be conscientious [about maintaining federal records] but misses some things.” He suggested that agencies or lawmakers should create a standard method such as using screenshots for federal employees to transfer information from third-party services such as text messages and Facebook posts to FOIA-able government email accounts. McLaughlin also suggested that during records management training, federal employees should be urged to put language in the signature lines of their personal email and social media accounts urging people to contact them via government email for official business. If employees are wary of their government accounts being spammed, they could use automated forms that forward information to those accounts but hide the addresses, he said. Many media companies use similar forms. House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has been pressing for more accountability and traceability of federal workers’ emails since soon after he took over the chairmanship in 2011. Witnesses at Tuesday’s hearing were all Obama administration officials who had also failed to forward records from personal to government email accounts that were later discovered by FOIA requesters or congressional investigators. In most cases, the officials attributed the failure to poor oversight, long work hours and a deluge of email that sometimes blurs the lines between personal and professional. Republican committee members lashed out at former Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson over an email exchange with a friend who was also a registered lobbyist and had requested an official meeting with Jackson within the email chain. Jackson, who asked the friend to send future emails to a personal account, told lawmakers she believed the friend had completed her official business and that the remainder of the email chain would just be old friends chatting. Issa shot back that, by moving the conversation to a personal account, Jackson was effectively giving herself authority, rather than a FOIA officer, to decide where the line lay between a public official talking with a lobbyist and two friends catching up.
