What’s the ROI of “Merry Christmas?”: Measuring the Effectiveness of Holiday Cards – The Measurement Standard: Blog Edition
As I deleted my 100th electronic Christmas card, all I felt was annoyance – rather than merry or joyous or whatever it was supposed to make me feel. A good 50% of these mostly cold and soulless emails were from PR firms I’d never heard of. I assume they got my name from Klout or Cision or […]

2012 social media predictions: Part One

Which are the most important social media metrics? (Hint: they’re nothing to do with social media)
I could write a book on this one. But there’s little point because a) I don’t have time to write a book, and b) other people have already written them. So, I’ll be brief, not least because this is a blog post and not a book: the most important social media metrics are nothing to […]

I had that sinking feeling when I powered up my laptop this morning and noticed that the Delicious add-on that I use to navigate the web wasn’t loading properly. It didn’t take long to figure out that there are some fairly radical changes going on. Superficially it looks […]

In this one, anything big and green in the centre is good, because it’s a nice, living social media presence. Anything red is bad, because it’s dead. The FH solution is simply to delete the […]
Facebook’s F8 changes: a slight case of oversharing? | Econsultancy
Facebook is renowned for rolling out new platform changes at a moment’s notice, but if early buzz is to be believed, this Thursday’s F8 developer conference will offer something a little bit special.
