- 33. Kristina Halvorson (2012): Content Strategy for the web, 2nd edition “Content is not a feature. It is a complex, ever- evolving, intricate body of information that requires ongoing care and feeding. It’s not something you can check off on a list and be done with.” https://www.flickr.com/photos/pete-karl/5837457283/
- 34. Be as many places as possible, but only where is makes sense. Only have a presence on platforms, where you are acually going to make an effort.
