Friday Fun Day!
It’s been a long week, and with several secret projects taking up more of my time than I had envisioned, I have not been able to post something new this week.
This video is not exactly new, but I think it’s one of the best at showing what power social media has in the future. For your consideration:
When you’re done watching that video, take a look at SI.com’s new video of what they would like to do with tablet pc’s down the road. This is really cool:
As for something new this week, I stumbled upon this site http://failin.gs/ that lets people make comments on you completely anonymously. This is something that I don’t know what to make of yet, but for all intents and purposes, it could serve as a great customer feedback engine for small businesses because it allows for people to make comments without fear of retribution.
That’s all I got today in Lawrence Kansas Web Design. Next week I plan to finish out the top 10 online marketing tools series and start showcasing some additional products. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Friday Fun Day!
It’s Friday and I think we all know we all want to be somewhere else soon enough.
I was surfing the web today and found a cool little piece over at Mashable. There are five French scientists who plan on participating in a unique experiment that will look at the effectiveness of posts on both Twitter and Facebook. I think its interesting in its reach, but it should make a good point to everyone out there looking for results with social media. Whatever you are putting out on your digital profiles need to be pertinent and usable or your relationships will be strained with your followers.
Another good post talks about the top trends for the internet in 2010. The article talks about how live online video will make a big step forward this year and this article is still timely even though we are close to February.
And lastly, I am proud to say today that am an not a Social Media Marketing Expert. Most of the people in this business who are working at the small business level are those who are excited to work in this highly developing and evolutionary field. If anyone, INCLUDING ME, tells you that there is a basic plan for how to run a social media campaign works, you should thank them for their time and send them on their way. One statistic I love to think about is how in 5 years, over half the planet’s population will be accessing the internet on a smart phone as their primary method of connecting. The fundamental shift in communication that we are undergoing means that right now anyone trying to experiment with ways to reach and connect with their followers will be more rewarded than those who don’t. The other thing that it means is that there are no wrong answers right now.
We are all trying to figure out what the best plan of action is as we move forward technologically and communications wise. It’s a new morning in our world.
