Social Mention is a pretty good social media aggregator. Think Google, but for social media. When I say ‘pretty good’, I mean it’s not without its faults. It doesn’t do real phrasal searches – that is, a search for “Brendan Cooper” in quotes will give results with just “Brendan” and “Cooper” in them, which is [...]

Want PR? Been Penalized by Google? Then lead a campaign.
Campaigns are an often-overlooked weapon in the PR arsenal. And, when conducted properly, social media can really, really help – which is what I’m hoping will happen with the ‘Have I Been Penalized’ campaign. I spent some of my most creative, exciting and formative years working with Dr. Marc Pinter-Krainer on the Sharepages.com website and [...]
If you want to understand social media, do it when there’s a big TV event happening
We’re living in a strange world right now. We’re sort of at a tipping point between broadcast and broadcomment, where we can watch what millions of other people are watching, while at the same time see what they’re saying. This was brought home to me during the Prime Ministerial debates in the UK. I watched [...]
Aggregated predictions: what really will happen with social media in 2011
Around Christmas-time I was foolish enough to list my social media predictions.

I don’t like SEO copywriting. Apart from anything I don’t think it has relevance any more. Comments?

Who are: @frosty_snow, @geoff_bronson, @gavin_henderson, @peter_bently?
This morning I took a quick look at what people were saying on the UK Election Social Media Dashboard. I noticed a few spikes on Twitter for George Osborne. This was strange. Osborne hasn’t figured particularly highly so far, and when he has, it’s been associated with spikes for his contemporaries Darling and Cable. So [...]
What are people saying about… the iPad, iPhone and iPod?
Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past week, you’ll know all about the iPad, Apple’s new wunderkit – what it has, what it has not, what it’s for, what it’s not for, and so on. Fortunately, the term ‘iPad’ is very quick and easy to search for. So, it’s a doddle to [...]
Bing vs Google

De Leon Personal Reputation Management Ltd is involved in online personal reputation management (PRM).
