My friend Muhammad Saleem pointed out yesterday on Pronet, that social media is the new word of mouth. You can debate this one way or the other, but the point is that social media/networks are nothing without connections. From AIM to Facebook to Last.fm to StumbleUpon to Flickr, if you don’t connect with people, you’re missing out.

And now, I’m inviting anyone who reads ANM to connect with me. I’d really like to get to know all of you, so I’m listing my contact pages below. Feel free to friend me, add me to your network, follow me on twitter, or all of the above.

Also, if you’d like to talk to me about marketing or just about anything else, feel free to send me an email at MattJMcD at Gmail .com

ANM 1.5 - A New Look

Welcome to the new look of ANM version 1.5

Why 1.5 and not 2.0? This update was purely cosmetic. I’m still running Wordpress with a modified version of K2. The feed (which you can subscribe to here) is still through Feedburner. So nothing is different under the hood.

What is new is the logo, color set, tag line, and overall feel.

In the logo, you’ll notice the old circle has been replaced with the Enso, a traditional symbol of Zen Buddhism. The Enso represents enlightenment, strength, elegance and is considered “an expression of the moment.” All things that, to me, represent good marketing.

The new color scheme is more focused. I think it’s cleaner and calmer, yet has some good energy to it.

The new tag line simple. clear. honest. creative. marketing. is a great fit for me. It really outlines what this blog is about in 5 words, and while it might not be the best from a SEO standpoint, I think it represents this blog well.

But what really matters is what you think. How do you like the new design? It’s certainly a work in progress and I’d appreciate any feedback so I can continue to try improve ANM.
