Fox News: How Latinos Will Use Social Media to Change the World
It was great to be a part of this collaboration piece with Lance Rios, Alfredo Diego and Joe Kutchera on Fox News Latino. Going forward in 2011, we’ll see a huge push by businesses to get involved in Latino social media which I already see has started to happen. UPDATE: Here’s the video that went along with the piece. I had the pleasure of sharing this experience... Read More
A New Digital Divide
Sometimes good news is not always good news: An AP article came out a few days ago shedding light on the real habits of Latinos online and pointed out that just because there is a large Latino presence online (and mobile), it is not necessarily a great thing as far as progress goes. The name of the article is “For minorities, new ‘digital divide’ seen.” It’s... Read More
Latinos owned the web in 2010
The year 2011 approaches in just under 3 hours (my time) and I’m slapping this post together after dinner and a glass of wine - it just didn’t feel right not to post the last post of the year…of the decade for that matter. Latinos took ownership of the social web this year, and are positioned to bring the house down in 2011. Organizations like Hispanicize,... Read More
Hispanicize 2011
Subtitle: It’s a numbers game. My buddy Manny Ruiz, has publicly released his advisory board for the Hispanicize Conference next year (April, 2011). It’s exciting to watch the development of all the players focusing on building bridges toward the Latino community. I remember when I first started blogging, back in 2003 there were hardly no Latino bloggers –... Read More
Do You Speak Latino?
I remember when speaking with Miguel (@cumba) about this project. It was fun, and it was great working with someone who can understand your vision and execute it. In a word, he’s an artist. AKPC_IDS += "2162,";Popularity: 13% [?] Read More

2011 Hispanic Media Conferences
There are a lot more players now than last year providing content in the Latino social media area. What makes that statement special is that only last year, we’ve seen the very first summits and conferences addressing Latinos in social media. That said, I have to revamp my Hispanic Media Conferences tab (and you know how I feel about Latino vs Hispanic, but since it’s... Read More

Google Blacklists ‘Latina’ from Google AutoComplete
Interesting topic. Honestly, I never thought about it. Autofill in Google’s search field. Some, may be a bit enthralled by it all (link contains adult material), and yet others go along happily and search away. Google Instant is the latest incarnation of the search engine that fills in potential responses as you type them into the Google search bar. Some people think... Read More
Monday, LATISM-NY Meetup

The restaurant’s atmosphere is unassuming, yet vibrant and warm. The food looks delicious and they... Read More
LATISM Trends at No.5
Subtitle: Trending LATISM I never believed in success at first try. Other than being very lucky, success is a process and takes time. So, I’m comfortable and happy with LATISM being # 5 – one day LATISM will be numero uno. Thanks to the continued efforts to all the members on Thursday night’s Tweet Parties.

Here’s some key findings courtesy of WiredLatinos: Young:The largest group of respondents is between 30 and 39 Mothers: 83% has between 2 and 4 kids Heads of household: 70% is... Read More
What’s in the News?
A noticeable disappointing practice (arguable), is the Google news search feature for latino social media: 90% of it is coverage of business and politics…not much of what YOU are doing in social media as individuals. I like what Cafe Media is doing…there is much more of a cultural vibe to what they report on. Also, this is why such organizations such as LATISM is... Read More
The Why Of ‘Latino Rebranded’
I’m not sure if I’ve ever posted the reason I made the transition from a Latino politics blogger to an active social media advocate within the Latino social media. So here we go… My original blog – LatinoPundit – served a purpose to fill a void of the lack of Latino bloggers. I wanted to bring Latinos into mainstream discussions about politics and... Read More
