Social media? I wouldn’t bother.

In the 18 months since I went freelance, I’ve spoken to a lot of people and worked with quite a few different companies, including a fair number of PR agencies. And what have I learned? That the state of social media is pretty much exactly as it was when I first became a social media [...]

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

by on June 3, 2010 in search, seo, Twitter

This is what I tweeted yesterday. Then I went away and came back an hour later – to lots of them. Comments, that is. So many in fact that I thought it was worth sharing them. First, the backstory. I’ve never really used SEO on this blog. That is, I don’t really identify keywords then [...]

Everyone needs to get out more

by on May 19, 2010 in advertising, bloggers, copywriting, disciplines, PR, socialmedia, Twitter

Estimated reading time: 2.5 minutes So today is Wednesday which means I write about… hang on, let me look it up… tum te tum te tum… ah yes, here it is. Social media! Right. Over the past month, in the UK, we’ve been subjected to the constant advances of politicians throughout the election. Thankfully it’s [...]

The UK Election Social Media Dashboard: What I learned

by on May 7, 2010 in monitoring, RSS, socialmedia, technology, Twitter, visualisation

Estimated reading time: 1.5 minutes So the dust is still settling – hasn’t actually settled yet because we have a hung parliament so all the politicians will be running around with their knees bent, flapping their arms and clucking and pecking at each other relentlessly until one of them, with a gigantic squawk, lays a [...]

Five cool ways to find people on Twitter

by on May 3, 2010 in cloudcomputing, computing, measurement, monitoring, socialmedia, Twitter

This post is probably going to get lost in the Twitter noise – and, judging by my declining stats, hardly anyone reads this blog anyway – but I still find it useful to share knowledge occasionally, not least because every day I don’t post I suffer guilt. I’ve recently been looking around Twitter a lot, [...]

Who are: @frosty_snow, @geoff_bronson, @gavin_henderson, @peter_bently?

by on April 17, 2010 in cloudcomputing, measurement, monitoring, reputationmanagement, search, technology, trends, Twitter, visualisation

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 [...]

It’s never been easier to engage, so if people don’t…

by on April 14, 2010 in cloudcomputing, measurement, monitoring, socialmedia, socialnews, socialvideo, technology, trends, Twitter, visualisation

… then we’re all going to hell in a hand cart. Probably. A bit. Sounds a bit alarmist I know, but here’s my take on this. In the past, I’ve been fairly lackadaisical about politics. I thought I had left-wing leanings when I was younger but then who doesn’t/didn’t? At least I wasn’t a hippy [...]

Tweetclouds of the Iraq Inquiry Blair session

by on February 1, 2010 in Twitter, visualisation

The Iraq Inquiry plods on. However, Friday 29th January did provide some interest, as Tony Blair presented his view. As Chilcot made clear, it wasn’t a trial, and no one was to be found guilty. However, there was still intense interest around what Blair would say, particularly given his recent interview with Fern Britton in [...]

What are people saying about… the iPad, iPhone and iPod?

by on January 29, 2010 in blogs, brands, monitoring, RSS, search, strategy, technology, Twitter, visualisation

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 [...]
