If not, start by creating Twitter media lists.

Below are the top 8 blog posts of this year, as ranked by page views. It’s quite possible that adding “suck” to a post title guarantees you some hits, although in this case, the story of the CEO who wrote a brutally honest blog post talking about his tough 360 review might have been enough to get people’s attention.

(Cross-posting from my new, cuter blog, Chic n'' Geek ) Ah, another year, another 50+ movies ( 55 , to be exact). Actually, I take that back; 11/12ths of this year was crap for movies; December managed to bring the only good movies of the entire year, saving 2013 from being a total bust. Best movie of 2013. It was just s**t.

Then, in 2013, we themed that exercise around the "future of our industry," and the future that we envisioned was five years forward -- 2018. And that was the piece of the 2013 exercise that we realized we hadn't carried through on. First, a little background. So one decision my Board chair and I made was not to let that happen again.
