Welcome to Phacient - Simple is Better.
So some pretty interesting things happened this week in terms of social media, user experience and advertising. After taking much of this activity in, I’ve made some realizations. I was reading a very thought provoking post by David Berkowitz where he asks the question, “Is Social Advertising Broken?”. I’ve thought for some time that Facebook [...]

By nature, I tend to be a bit of a do-it-yourselfer. I build my own websites, manage my own hosting, and do my own research. There are times when I just have to use a third party to do work for me like my accountant or my dentist. This was a hard post for me [...]

So yesterday morning, Google started rolling out the new redesign of Google+. I’m not going to say it’s better and I’m not going to say it’s worse. I’m just going to say it’s different. There were almost immediately complaints like with all changes to a social network. I’m still hearing how much people hate the [...]

Recently, I’ve gotten a few questions from people who are looking to get into blogging but don’t know where to start. It can be a bit intimidating and overwhelming. I recommend that they start off by guest blogging, if possible, so they can get their feet wet by just writing. After all, that’s what it’s [...]

NOTE: We are not big fans (pun intended) of Facebook business pages. We do have one but don’t put much effort into it since the terms and conditions of use put forth by Facebook make them an anemic attempt at promoting anything but musicians, celebrities. or massive scale consumer brands at best. If you are [...]

I received an email the other day from a friend of mine who told me that I came up in a conversation he was having with a client as a Subject Matter Expert on a certain topic. Although they would have loved to work with me, they are a non-profit and are very budget conscious. [...]

After a short hiatus, I figured I would have to post something really good to make up for it. To do that, I have to write about something I am passionate about. I came across an article the other day from a buddy of mine who likes to give me jabs about being such a [...]

This week I had the privilege of attending the 2011 Pivot Conference. The whole experience was very positive and I am really glad I went. This year’s focus was the rise of the social consumer. As you may know, the Millienials and Gen Y now make up a significant percentage of the marketplace and an [...]

Wow, this is really great. I have been singing the praises of Google+ since it came out. For those of you who are not yet on it, I strongly recommend it. I am losing friends from Facebook either by deactivation or by apathy at a consistent rate since Google released its new social network to [...]
