Twitter, Facebook, or Blogging: Which is a better extension of your brand?
Now before you say anything, I’m sure that all three of the above mentioned applications are probably best used in collaboration with each other to help accentuate your brand online. BUT, what I’m asking is which of the three: Twitter, Facebook, or setting up your own blog, would help create more “buzz” for your brand? […]
Reading about SXSWi is almost like being there
I’ve heard of South by Southwest many years ago, but haven’t had the luxury of attending…but from what I’ve been reading on various blogs like Technosailor, The Social Times, and Valleywag and also on Twitter, it’s quite amusing to learn what’s happened in Austin over the last 24-48 hours. From Scoble’s Qik tour of the […]
News is no longer a one-way communication. Start to get social.
As a consequence of attending Wednesday’s soiree at Ogilvy’s office in downtown DC for MashMeet DC Remix, I ran into Kimberly from Searchles who’s company apparently did a demo of their product for the folks in attendance (I didn’t watch all the PowerPoint presentations sadly). She was there to film the presentations for posting on […]
Because dropping names just isn’t fun without actually meeting them…
I’m quite ecstatic about things that are going on with my online presence, I must admit. It’s the small things that make it all worth it. In just the last 24 hours, I’ve been noticed by some of the best minds in the Washington, DC tech community and ultimately it’s because I did a handshake. […]
How do you silence the socially literate?
A simple observation from when I was at last night’s MashMeet DC Remix event held at Ogilvy PR’s office in downtown DC… I understand that some of these events often times allow companies to demonstrate their products to try and reach out to investors and those sought-after early adopters (which I’m trying ever so much […]
Reaching a new audience with Facebook pages
So a while back I had established a new fan page on Facebook as a pseudo-experiment on social media for travel destinations. In the interest of full disclosure (for whatever it’s worth), I am employed at the Washington, DC CVB and responsible for their online marketing programs. Sure, typical programs could have been used like […]
Widgets: 2008’s glamour word
What is a “Widget”? Wikipedia defines it as portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate HTML-based web page by an end user without requiring additional compilation and this seems to be the “IT” concept of this year. And it’s no surprise. A couple of years ago, it was blogging, […]
Judging Sprout
So the social media population just keep growing in 2008. Just announced today, Mashable has offered a limited number of invitations to sample Sprout’s beta site. I was one of the lucky few to snatch them up and it took a little bit to figure out what it was, but after a little bit, I […]
Getting paid to be social
So an article posted on Simply-Communicate.com talks about how a company in England is promoting the use of social media by its employees while the common trend is to shy away from it. What’s intriguing about this is that the company, BT, is asking its young graduates that they hire to spearhead this campaign. And […]
Yahoo to layoff hundreds of staff to try and catch up
So have I told you about Twitter? It’s great. I get to find out about the latest news in my industry from folks and one great source of news is Techmeme. Announced today and published in the New York Times, Yahoo has decided to layoff hundreds of their staff in an attempt to save the […]
