Mia Dand

who: mia dand – technophile, b2b marketer, consultant, free-lance writer in the silicon valley

what: thoughts on enterprise marketing in a web  2.0 world

why: fascination with how web 2.0 tools can be leveraged for knowledge-sharing and driving better customer engagement in the enterprise space

misc. note: this is my personal blog and does not represent the views of my employer

more details on my bio, for those interested:

i started in the social media space over a decade back with the launch of a little-known online community. this is when the ’social media’ space was largely undefined and google was still the new kid on the block. i’ve worked on multiple startups including a mobile messaging platform for the education space.

when i am not working on some startup idea, consulting, or writing, i work as an enterprise social media manager for a large tech company in the bay area. this is my personal blog and since my ‘real’ job keeps me fairly busy, i only update this blog once or twice a week. if i come across something that’s incredibly interesting that i feel compelled to blog about, then you can expect a flurry of posts here.  

when i am not here, you can always find me on twitter.com/MiaD

thanks for reading :)

      Hi there! Thanks for your comment :) Glad to hear you like the site. Unfortunately, I haven’t found the “holy grail of news” yet so heavily rely on Google Search/Reader. Twitter is also trending high on my list of news sources but has serious search limitations. Would love to hear about your experience.

    Going back to “the holy grail of news”, nothing beats being part of the news, that way you are always the first one to know what is happening…;-)
    Seriously now, for me the “holy grail of news” comes from my network of friends who knows what I am into, therefore whomever gets some specific news first he or she shares it with me either via facebook, twitter or text message.
    By the way, great site Mia!

      Hi there W2Bconsultor!

      Agreed, no better advantage than being generator of the news yourself :) I completely agree with you, social networks are a great place to source the latest news and that’s the tremendous power of new media.

      I am glad you like the blog. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!

      Cheers,

      Mia
