7 Reasons To Add Amplify To Your Social Networks
I first heard about Amplify earlier this year; I believe it was at the January chapter meeting of IABC/DC Metro.
My friend (and client, but he’s a friend first) Shashi Bellamkonda is, I think, genetically-wired to try and talk about new things – no doubt why he’s Network Solutions’ “social media swami,” and he mentioned it.
So of course I checked it out.

Those of you to whom I talk on Twitter, Facebook, email, etc., know that I’ve been keeping crazy hours lately. There’s just a lot going on and sometimes I need to catch up on work (that isn’t affected by when I do it) after hours.
The things I could tell you about the “6 week body” and isn’t Kevin Trudeau tired of being on TV only at 2 a.m.?
Not my preferred mode of work, believe me – I enjoy sleeping far too much, plus I think it’s an extremely bad practice to get into, especially in terms of setting others’ expectations of you.
Crisis communication may demand it, but if you’re in crisis mode every day… well, something needs to change.
At any rate
