Is Parenting For You?
This morning as I was taking my son to school. I witnessed a few ladies escorting wailing or angry children to school. These children were young between ages 4 and 5 years old. The one who stood out was one whose son who was literally wailing, and this lady was clearly his mother not a house-help. Mum was walking ahead leaving the poor boy to run after her carrying his school bag, though she kept turning a few times to issue threats. My first thought was to ask the mum to stop, wait for her son and calm him down. This is the last thing you want to do, show another woman you can handle her child better than she can, especially in public.

Why Not Use Bloggers in Kenya to Promote National Cohesion?
When I read this article on bloggers in Kenya titled, “Bloggers seek to reduce defamatory content on social networking sites,” posted on Business Daily, I thought good luck with that.

But which social media statistics should I use to find out if my investment in social media marketing or if my social media marketing strategy is really working or worthy it? As I searched for answers I came across this post by Chris Brogan and I like the way he has made his analysis in simple terms. Stats I Really Want From Twitter and Other Services Numbers are a tricky business. I was just thinking about Twitter, and asking myself what would make it more valuable. I’m curious...
Insights on Inbound Marketing vs Outbound Marketing
Marketing is marketing or is it, why then Inbound Marketing vs Outbound Marketing? The marketing department in any organization gets the largest share of resource allocation in the annual budget. This is both in terms of human resource and financial resources.Most employees in other departments look at the marketers with envy, since more often than not, they have company cars allocated to them, entertainment allowances and they are never in the office. So their job looks interesting and easy, but is it? Given the number of man hours marketers spend daily, most of which involve cold calling, I am not sure they will agree with you that their job is easy . Remember there are some stringent conditions they must meet namely sales targets, to justify their position in...
