Happy 90th Pre-B-Day to America's Goldest Sweetheart, Betty White: Born January 17, 2012 ninety years ago! Is 90 really the NEW 60?

On Tuesday, January 17th, America's "GOLDEST" Sweetheart, Betty White, will turn 90 years young. Born Betty Marion White in Oak Park, Illinois on January 17, 1922 -- Betty White is truly "All Things Happening!" Thanks to White, 2012 will prove to be the Year of "America's Greatest, Goldest Sweetheart!" Happy 90th B-DAY again to Betty White -- American actress, comedienne, singer, author, television personality, professional, entrepreneur, etc.



Ninety is indeed the new sixty in all respects for White. What began in the year 1952 was filled with whirlwinds of events that would call for sixtieth anniversary celebrations for White in the year 2012.

Sixty years ago, White (then 30 years old) became an entrepreneur, co-founding Bandy Productions with writer George Tibbles, who wrote every episode of "Life With Elizabeth" and Don Fedderson, a producer.

It was 60 amazing years ago that White had the starring role in "Life With Elizabeth" where she earned her first of six Emmy Awards. The low-budget comedy was produced by and filmed at a local Los Angeles TV station where White and Moore were on the staff (the series was originally a live production on KLAC-TV in 1952). George Tibbles wrote every episode of the series.

Sixty years ago White not only became known as a famous TV Star -- the year 2012 we celebrate White's 60th anniversary of her first commercial TV appearance -- all this while having her very own Radio Show,"The Betty White Show," all this while being a 30 year old in the year 1952!

Over the course of her 70+ year career, working with 200+ leading actors, and 75+ films, White has won seven Emmy Awards (six for acting) and has received 20 Emmy nominations, including being the first woman ever to receive an Emmy for game show hosting (for the short-lived Just Men!). White is still the only female to have an Emmy in all female performing comedic categories. In May 2010, White became the oldest person to guest-host Saturday Night Live, for which she also received a Primetime Emmy Award.

And where does she go from here? Obviously, not just a 90th B-Day celebration that's for sure. On the day before her 90th birthday (January 16th), we can all watch a special preview of Betty White's "Off Their Rockers" (Monday, January 16th 9:30/8:30c at 9:30pm/8:30pm central time) where White and a team of senior citizens pull hidden camera pranks.

So tell me, if you had one question to ask White what would it be? Here's the question I'd ask:
"How does it feel to be young at 90 and have your very own brand new TV show?" Then I would thank her for all she does and for making 90 the new 60 and 60 the new 30! Please share what you would ask Betty in the comments section below. Thanks.

Survival of the Digitalest?" Are we really living in an age of Digital Darwinism?

"There is no spirit-driven life force, no throbbing, heaving, pullulating, protoplasmic, mystic jelly. Life is just bytes and bytes and bytes of digital information."
         -- Richard Dawkins, British evolutionary biologist, science author, TV/Radio personality

For all you digital diggers out there, check out this great article by Brian Solis. Indeed technology is creating deeper connections between brands and consumers and people.


Read and see for yourself if you agree that we really are in an age of Digital Darwinism.

Will Dance For Food Benefit - December 11, 2011: See some of what you missed!

"some eat and sleep dance, so others can eat and sleep..." -- Will Dance for Food 6th Annual Dance Showcase.

I am so proud of my niece, Mariel, for being a part of the amazing charitable event, it's 6th Annual Dance Showcase, "Will Dance For Food."

I was so excited to see her be a part of this worthy event and she was so happy to be a part of this wonderful experience to help those in need.

It is said that dancing comes from the heart, and indeed it does.

Seeing my niece appear and perform on stage with Mr. Robert Taylor, Jr. of "So You Think You Can Dance" group was truly a moment I will cherish.

It was so wonderful for everyone but I was especially proud and impressed to see her be a part of this amazing event -- it brought tears to my eyes,

I adore her not only because she is a beautiful niece but for her kindness and consideration for others and for her love and appreciation of the arts.

My hope is that all those dedicated artists who eat, sleep and dance so others can eat and sleep continue doing so that someday there will be an end to all this hunger and homelessness!

A full house auience woooooohoooooed the spectacular dancers at the 6th Annual Dance Showcase "Will Dance for Food" Benefit today at The Mary Lou Meese Theatre, Fox Lane High School in Bedford, NY.

The dancers represent the best of the most talented Westchesterites and were members of various dance studios throughout Westchester County. Also appearing was special guest Mr. Robert Taylor, Jr. "So You Think You Can Dance" luminary.

SMWF - North America, November 1 – 2, 2011: You should have been there!

See what you missed by reading some highlights of the SMWF (Social Media World Forum) - North America in NYC at The Jacob Javits Conference Center November 1st – 2nd, 2011.

The theme for this year’s SMWF conference was “Engage with the world of Social Media Marketing.”

On Tuesday, November 1st, over 2,500 professionals in all things digital and social media filled the exhibit hall at New York City’s Javits Centre to attend two days of one of the most premiere interactive conferences, SMWF. New to this year's event were panel discussion formats, tweet up panels, on stage interviews, open 'Q&A' portions, audience sourcing debates and break-out group discussions enabling attendees to explore in-depth the key social media platforms, and how they can enhance marketing.

There were over 100 leading social media speakers that read like a who’s who from all things digital marketers, social networks and brands providing a wealth of presentations about brand case studies with intensive workshops and plenty of networking among cutting edge players. The goal of the conference was to inform, interact, inspire and share how deeply social media can assist our businesses in connecting with and engaging customers. Mission accomplished!


"Track highlights included:
• Integrating social media into your marketing plan, and building your social media marketing toolbox
• How Social Media is being used for brand building
• How to engage with customers though Mobile Social Media and social media with mobile apps
• Building your Facebook, Linkedin, & Twitter marketing strategies
• Location based marketing
• Social Shopping - new influencers, voucher offers and real time social shopping
• B2B social media marketing
• Social TV – how social media is changing the way we interact with the TV
• Social CRM – internal social media, community building and management
• Top tips on selecting your Social Media Agency – the role of who does social media within your organisation
• Best practices for delivering PR campaigns across multiple Social Media platforms
• The new buzz word “Social Search”
• The Socialisation of the Internet with the impact of social credits and the open graph approach
• Social Gaming & Virtual Currencies
• Examining the differences between the Social Media market and other parts of the world
• Twitter applications and mash ups examined"

For many businesses, the trick is not just monitoring their social media conversations, but the ability to manage multiple social channels by combining elements of customer service, marketing and PR into a integrated customer and brand centric unit.

Among the booths I stopped by was Badgeville, an innovative social loyalty smart gamification platform. Using Badgeville, brands can reward users with real time achievements and reputation while at the same time driving user behavior, achieving business goals and measuring and optimizing user engagement. Badgeville looks like a fun way to keep customers connected to your brand.

Next up was a presentation by Jane Schactel, Director of Social Media for Bing and Matt Britton, founder and CEO of Mr. Youth.

Jane discussed the importance of two-way communications with users of products and the way users of social media tend to fall into four categories:


► Observers - not engaged but curious - like lurking;
► Fans who follow the brand and interact;
► Evangelists - people who actively post positive reviews/info about the brand, i.e., Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc.;
► Ambassadors - often celebrities or public figures and often paid for their endorsement.


The consumer-centric brand requires four things:.
1. Utility - meet a customer need;
2. Entertainment - publish content your users will enjoy but remember this is NOT a commercial;
3. Reward - reward users with coupons, contest prizes, etc.;
4. Recognition - give loyal users badges, a feature on the site, a special offer, etc.

Parting thoughts: Social media can give more relevance to search and search can give more credence to social media.

Lastly, I visited the Meltwater Buzz Booth, a social media monitoring platform. Melanie Zachariades explained how Meltwater Buzz can help you mine your social media mentions and gain insight from them.

So what do you think the long range effects of social media will be on brands? Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and a host of others are changing the ways businesses see and interact with their customers.

Many thanks to SMWF for continuing to provide such informative and exciting conferences!
