Why I follow 10,000 People on Twitter…and Why They Follow Me
Subtitle: To catch many fish you need a big net Because people approach Social Media in a temperamental fashion, I feel the need to post this. On Twitter, the amount of followers one has is a sensitive area. Social media is such a fickle area that there are not many things concrete. Social media is situational. I hover around 10,000 followers and I follow about the same. Some people accept that, some people don’t. I’ve always... Read More

If you do you’ll find it bustling with action… There’s the announcemnet of the Hispanicize Latino social media conference and LATISM’s launch of their beta site.

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 with BeingLatino founder, Lance Rios. I had an excellent time over at... 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, LATISM, Being Latino, and many more have emerged and placed a foothold... 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 offline and most of these events revolve around the business world,...

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 important – it’s by individuals for individuals. …holiday... 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 society, and also raise awareness of Latino subject matter. That... Read More
