"Myno" code of ethics - hat tip Kyle Sexton, Salem Area Chamber. This is a great code of ethics for blogging from Blogging: Bubble Or Big Deal? When And How Businesses Should Use Blogs, by Charlene Li. Original Source: Forrester Best Practice report. (adapted to our use)

I will tell the truth.
I will write deliberately and with accuracy.
I will acknowledge and correct mistakes promptly.
I will preserve the original post, using notations to show where I have made changes so as to maintain the integrity of my publishing.
I will reply to emails and comments when appropriate, and do so promptly.
I will strive for high quality with every post - including basic spellchecking.
I will stay on topic.
I will disagree with other opinions respectfully.
I will link to online references and original source materials directly.
I will disclose conflicts of interest.
I will keep private issues and topics private, since discussing private issues would jeopardize my personal and work relationships.

Upgraded My Blog

I have moved this blog to FrankKenny.net hosted on the Wordpress platform.

I will continue to focus on entrepreneurs, providing information on using modern business techniques and today's tech tools, including Internet social networking and social media.

We have doubled our Chamber's membership using these tools and I am eager to share what I have learned with business owners, other individuals and groups.

Thank you for your interest and friendship.

Reach through social networking and social media

A volunteer trustee recently brought up at a Chamber Board of Trustees meeting that the Chamber has become a media company.

By that, she meant that with all of the Internet social networking, sponsorship and marketing opportunities available to the members, our chamber now has, as known in the marketing world, REACH.

We use that REACH to promote the community, advocate for our members, pump up our networking activities, and contribute to the local economy.

Our Chamber and the President/CEO has 2250 followers on Twitter, 1400 folks on the eBiz email blast list, hundreds of friends on Chamber’s Facebook fan page, a Youtube channel, an active blog, hundreds of members using “Myno”, and more….

We have REACH. Another way to think about it is to call it VISIBILITY in the community. By being a member, you immediately have access to this VISIBILITY from your media company.

A Shop Local Challenge

Would you please do all of us a favor? Shop Local first. Browse through local merchants and you will find everything you need for the Holidays. The money will recycle throughout the community, supporting the jobs and services we depend upon. Plus, it builds the local economy which completes the circle. Will you committ yourself to this?

Chamber of Commerce Member Marketing Packages that Include Social Media

I have been really working the social media angle for my Chamber. I have recently created a package of marketing opportunities that includes Internet social networking and geo-targeting. I can't role it out yet publicly but I think it might be a big deal for associations.

Stay tuned.

The videos I have been shooting have also been a big hit. Here is one I posted recently. That is representative Fred Finn of Washington's 35th district being interviewed.
