The Attack on Conversation: a big mea culpa?
We’ve all been guilty of it…putting our foot in our mouth and saying something either over the air or online that we regret and can’t take back. I know I have, but when it comes to negativity or praise for our brand or company, why are people attacking how it’s handled? Over the past few […]
Just who are spammers trying to kid on Twitter?
If you’ve become quite popular on Twitter or happen to have a rather large gathering of people, then you might know the recent trend of people spoofing your name. A perfect example is what happened to Forrester Research Senior Analyst Jeremiah Owyang. A very popular Twitterer, Jeremiah has amassed a following of over 30,000 people […]
Your numbers are lying to you.
Many of you know that I’m a rather “prolific” twitterer. I spend plenty of time on the microblogging application and like to read what’s posted by many of those that I’m following. However, one thing that I’ve grown to accept is that the number of followers and followees doesn’t mean that much compared to the […]
A Twestival in San Francisco?
Last night at Paradise Lounge, in conjunction with dozens of other similar events happening throughout the world, the San Francisco Twitter community came together to support Charity: Water, a non-profit designed to help provide clean drinking water to the world. What was this event? Why it was a Twestival? Perhaps one of the biggest events […]
How SocialCorp will help businesses but not you.
Out of the books that I have read so far in 2009, each has had their own theme and application to business and online marketing. SocialCorp: Social Media Goes Corporate by Joel Postman is nothing different. While you would like to figure this book has some application to everyday people, it’s main applicability extends to […]
Excuse me? You have a guestbook?
A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me to take a look at some websites. What I saw brought back a bit of nostalgia from a few years back when we were all creating web 1.0 static websites. You remember those times, right? This is when everyone use WYSIWYG editors like AOL […]
What else can you say about using Twitter for business?
I’ve blogged a lot about using Twitter and other social media applications/sites for business purposes, so I’m not going to bore you with a lecture. So if you’re looking for detailed advice on what you should do on Twitter for your company, I wouldn’t rely on Julio Ojeda-Zapata‘s latest book “Twitter means business: how microblogging […]
Searching to be social
Yesterday was another great installment of the Silicon Valley/San Francisco chapter meeting of the Social Media Club. This night’s gala took place at the offices of Zannel, a mobile multimedia aggregation too – which we got to see the power of throughout the night. However, the topic of the evening was not about mobile marketing […]
Transparency begins online with your website.
Did you know that the White House has a website? Have you taken a look at it before yesterday? What did you think? Rather stiff and conservative, yes? Nothing too shocking or graphical – more like “just the facts”, huh? Well with the recent inauguration of Barack Obama as the country’s 44th president, the White […]
Credibility & Common Sense
Last Tuesday in Mountain View, CA, social media expert Shel Israel gave his only talk about his upcoming book, Twitterville where he talks about the impact of Twitter on the business world. During the Q&A session, someone asked about how they could leverage the microblogging application to their advantage to help promote their expertise. The […]
