I’m a technology and business writer, marketing and communications professional, and netizen living in Atlanta, Georgia, originally from Western NY. I still cheer for the Bills. I am obviously loyal, outspoken, and brunette. In the summer, I like the water. In the winter, I like the crock pot.
I’ve been online since 1995, and in 1996 I wrote and co-designed our data warehousing company website, among the first in our industry. Since then, there’s not much you can’t already find out here and here:

• LinkedIn Profile - hey, I’m a pro!
• allied - my original blog, 2001 - present
• Blog Sisters - Founded 2002, a 100+-member women’s weblog as mentioned in The New York Times, Time Magazine, the Sunday Times Online and other mainstream publications, some even without the word “Time” in them.

My Official Blurb Wherein I Refer to Myself in the Third-Person

As the words and voice behind dozens of Fortune 500/1000 companies over the last 20 years — including American Management Systems, Delta Air Lines, Equifax, IBM, Kodak, Nokia, and The Home Depot — Jeneane has given personality to corporations by providing creative, targeted communications that deliver compelling messages.

During her five years with Ketchum’s Atlanta office, Jeneane contributed to the branding, launch, and positioning of more than 50 clients. As Senior E-Business writer for the Ketchum network, she was responsible for concepting and writing virtually every type of communication deliverable— web sites, brochures, ads, white papers, articles, scripts, marketing plans, speeches, launch strategies, and more— for every imaginable audience and market.

From 1994-1998, Jeneane was Director of Corporate Communications for Systems Techniques, a healthcare data warehousing company later acquired by IBM, where she executed marketing and public relations programs that built the company’s brand and led to its acquisition.

Prior to moving to Atlanta from Rochester, NY, Jeneane spent five years with Eastman Kodak Company managing the Technical Publications Group at Kodak’s Edicon Systems Division.

Jeneane is a well-known “weblogger” on her personal blog, allied, and a business blogging pioneer who started blogging in 2001 and founded the first women’s team blog, Blog Sisters, that same year. She has been an Advisory Board Member and Contributing Editor to the high-profile women’s community, BlogHer. Jeneane and her work have been featured in such publications as Business Week, The New York Times, Time Magazine and The Times Online.

Jeneane has helped several companies with their social media and blogging strategies and implementations— including Yojo Mobile, SezWho, Cox Communications, BubbleShare, StyleFeeder, Qumana, and Rojo. She serves on a number of advisory boards.

Her specialties include the high-tech marketing and public relations, social media, blogging, copy writing, brand building and messaging, strategic thinking, the Internet, and general hamster care.
