Jeremiah's blog is his book, don't you see?
BY JAMES CLARK
I have been quite smitten of late, well, since CES 2007, with blogger and social media strategist Jeremiah Owyong's nerdery. If he were a pirate I would have replaced "nerdery" with "skulduggery". He's smart, affable and concise. He is someone that you should be listening to.
I found him through a PodTech podcast, "How to Implement a Corporate Social Media Strategy". With a title like thatI was expecting a so so, "You should be creating social spaces, wiki-fi your company and watch your employees bust out of silos," snake oil pitch. But instead, Jeremiah shared his past real world corporate experience with moving a social media agenda forward sans sale pitch.
What has been even more interesting in watching his blog is the that it appears as though he is writing a book through his blog. It has been done before but this is really great stuff. It is a timely, disciplined approach to teaching the rest of the world how to develop a social media strategy for the enterprise and implement it without a need for binding or killing your grandmother's Willow.
You would be hard pressed to get advice this good from a consultant that you're paying enough money to get a new Bimmer lease every year.
Recommendation: Read all of it and subscribe.
