In 2009 this blog I had the opportunity to innovate an event called Blog-Off contests.

These were events that offered social media enthusiasts the opportunity to be measured and show they knew how to apply several of the fundamentals critical for social media marketing effectiveness…

…What Does It Take To Be Effective In Social Media?
