March
March wasn't as action packed as February, but it was a great month for membership. Here is how things went down:MEMBERSHIP
I put the focus on driving membership throughout the month of March, and as a result... membership increased 12.5% to 262 members. I'm really happy with the double digit growth and will continue to focus on getting the word out about LouisvillePM as much as possible. If you like it here, be sure to do the same thing by telling your friends… Continue

What can you learn from online forums?
What if there was a place online where people answered your tough project management related questions in a timely manner? People who have been there, done that and have the T-shirt to prove it?What kind of value would that bring to you?
I'm asking because Alec Satin has complied a list of the six best online forums for project managers, and I'm wondering if LouisvillePMers frequent… Continue

First Impressions
Being that I've been doing a lot of "intense study" ;) around social media and social technologies at work, I understand how important a brand is, whether its personal or commercial, in the professional world. But what about the flip-side? We all know that first impressions count, and usually its because we are trying to impress the person we are meeting for the first time, by putting our best foot forward. My question is, shouldn't that person, no matter how important they are or… Continue

Under the Weather
I've been blogging less this month because I am battling a mysterious ailment... The whole C-Unit has been afflicted with some nasty bug or another since December and we all seem to be letting it mutate inside of us so we can continue to pass it back and forth to one another. It has now manifested inside of me in the form of a sinus infection, for which I have been prescribed antibiotics... So hopefully I will be able to kick it to the curb, as the weather warms up, and resume the… Continue

Are you on Twitter yet?
Another great post about Twitter over on GanntHead. I've been on Twitter since last year, and I've really just started to understand how the system works. The great thing about it, is that there are different ways to use it, and they're all "the right way." Here are a couple of the ways that I've come to use this truly multifaceted tool:Live News Feed
The biggest mention in mainstream… Continue

February
Hey all you LouisvillePMers, February was a massive month. We had a major site redesign, our first sponsored event, the job board became free to list local jobs, and I tripled my daily output of blog posts (which I am taking a slight breather from at the moment). ;) Here is the recap:MEMBERSHIP
Membership increased 8% over the month of February to 232 members. Pretty decent increase, despite the fact that membership was not something I focused on at all this… Continue
