Has it really been 20 years?! Apparently, it has. Back on March 25, 2003, we launched Shadowbane. For many, Shadowbane has a lot of great game memories. And, yes, some terrible ones, too! I mean, who remembers how sb.exe was a meme before memes were cool? Or when someone used GM commands to teleport players… Read More »
Ref: https://seandahlberg.com/2022/11/22/sean-has-left-the-building/ This one will be short and sweet as I’m mainly writing this for something to look back on in the years. But today, December 6th, 2022, is my first day as the Head of Developer Community, also known as “Leader, Technical Marketing,” at Cisco. I just finished my first onboarding session, and I have to admit,… Read More »
Yesterday, November 21, 2022, was my last day at Spiceworks Ziff Davis. While it has sunk in mentally, it hasn’t really hit me emotionally yet. Right now, I feel like I have a day off or a mini-vacation. But I imagine it’ll hit like a freight train in a few days. Believe it or not,… Read More »

I’m not actually sure where it started, but I noticed the “I grew up here” trend after seeing @Mightykeef‘s tweet about it. I’m not really sure where it started but it did make me go Hmmm.

In a (semi) recent episode of SocialPros, they had on Convince & Convert colleagues Lauren Teague and Zontee Hou in an episode entitled “What You Must Adjust in Your Social Media in These Crazy Times.” Great episode,… Read More »
Recently, I had the pleasure of being on the Community Signal podcast, hosted by Patrick O’Keefe of ManagingCommunities.com fame. I believe we did the recording around the middle of March so it was just as things were starting to get “interesting” here in Texas in regards to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. If you’re already following… Read More »
Last week, I wrote up a topic for our community (Spiceworks) in an effort to help new brand reps (what we call “Partners” or “Green Guys/Gals” in the community) understand that it really is all about the engagement aspect when it comes to chatting in the community. I have seen more than a handful of… Read More »
Kill Ten Rats posted this on their site so I am just going to give you a snippet of it then have you go read it. It’s a good read: MMO community managers have an ugly job. Public relations is never the cakewalk that it seems from the outside, but dealing with the teeming internet… Read More »
