  • Moving Beyond Asking “What is the ROI of Social Media?”

    Countless publications and blogs, including this blog, have been dedicated to answering what is the “ROI of Social Media.” The question, however, is misguided.

  • Branding on Twitter: Agency v. Employees

    Last week, I decided to review the number of followers an official agency twitter account had versus some of their high-profile employees.

  • Stanford’s iPhone Course: The Million Dollar Branding Campaign

    1 Million iPhone Application Course Downloads… It was announced yesterday that Stanford’s iPhone Application Programming courses have been downloaded over 1 million times on Apple’s iTunes University.

  • Social Media Club Talk: Integrating Social Media and SEO

    Back in Mid-January, I gave a talk for the Social Media Club at their local SF chapter. As I mentioned before, I spoke with Jose Nuñez from Hiran and Brent Csutoras on the interaciton Social Media and SEO. Interestingly enough, the audience was comprised mostly of PR folks.

  • CRM & Social Media: Integrating into the Customer Lifecycle

    Random Friday Thought So who in 2005 ever thought that SAP, a gigantic enterprise software company, would be on a service called “Twitter” asking people what they think of a “Chumby“? Not me. See the second Twitter post below.

  • Psst Jeremy Toeman: That’s why Social Media is a Big Deal

    Jeremy Toeman, a fellow friend and colleague of strong opinion (I mean that in a good way Jeremy), titled a post “Stop Trusting the Internet!“, a missive against rumors, misleading headlines, exaggerations and falsehoods that exist on the Internet: “Let’s face it, the news is more about entertainment and ad revenue than it is about […]
