Is the LinkedIn Groups refurb another attempt to get onto the Twitter bandwagon?

by on July 17, 2010 in socialnetworks

via learn.linkedin.com I was just playing around with LinkedIn and noticed the changes to groups. This had passed me by. I want to start getting into the LinkedIn group discussions a bit more. Whenever I tell people about social networks, LinkedIn always crops up. People like it. It seems solid, and professional and, unlike certain [...]

Advanced Search: Facebook gets it slightly wrong again

by on July 16, 2010 in cloudcomputing, disciplines, socialmedia, socialnetworks, technology

Today I actually used Facebook for something. My partner wanted to find women’s networking groups online, and I suggested Facebook. Of course, she didn’t listen to me so I decided to have a look myself. Immediately, I came up against a problem. I wanted to search for groups in London, but couldn’t find an easy [...]

I’ve seen the future of social media. And it’s… email

by on January 26, 2010 in RSS, socialmedia, socialnetworks, technology

I’ve been playing around with Posterous recently. It’s stunningly quick and easy. This is in no small part down to the way you use it. You email your posts. Now, at first I thought this was just a small feature of Posterous. But it’s making more sense to me. When I email something, I’m emailing [...]

Why oh why oh why oh why oh why does Facebook keep changing? I recently had call to get back into Facebook for a new business pitch (post-edit: we won). I knew it had changed and needed to clue up on the differences. It was broadly similar but, well, different. And on looking back at [...]

A rebrand can be a crisis – or an opportunity

by on April 14, 2009 in blogging, brands, marketing, microblogging, socialmedia, socialnetworks

Sometimes the value of the network becomes most apparent, when you most need it. Last week, I announced my freelance copywriting status. It was a big step for me. But before I’d done anything ‘formally’, I updated my LinkedIn. Within half an hour I had three queries, one of which has turned out to be [...]

Measurement Camp, the BBC, and The Next Big Thing

by on March 26, 2009 in advertising, cloudcomputing, computing, measurement, musictechnology, socialnetworks, technology, viral

So last Wednesday I was at Measurement Camp, this time in the swanky offices of Dare Digital. The format is still evolving under the laid-back yet effective stewardship of Will McInnes (check out his survey, it’s hilarious), so this time we had a couple of presentations from past projects, then some quicker breakouts in which [...]

Bookmark, tweet and blog at the same time with only two hands and one head

by on March 19, 2009 in microblogging, RSS, socialbookmarking, socialmedia, socialnetworks, technology

One issue I keep coming across lately is how to save money using social media. This is a big topic, one that relates to so many others from measuring social media through to monetising it. But every little helps, as they say, and through the miracle of RSS you can make your content work harder [...]

HowSociable can you go?

by on February 12, 2009 in measurement, socialmedia, socialnetworks

Influence – it’s a tough thing to measure, especially when it all depends on who’s linking to whom, and whether their behaviour has changed in any way. So if you don’t have access to several thousand pounds and a server farm to track this, you can get an idea of influence by studying ubiquity, that [...]
