Join The Revolution!

2010-05-06T11:20:00-04:00

When the first "Social Media Revolution" video came out I was so excited to see the numbers listed in the video. Now the followup is out and the numbers are even more impressive. Any business that honestly thinks they can succeed for long without getting involved is wrong. Social media is the "NEW MEDIA" or as Ron Conway noted in an interview I watched the other day, "Facebook IS the Universe".

Social media has replaced pull marketing techniques (thank GOD), the yellow pages and in some cases search engines. You can pretty much find anything on Facebook or YouTube, which is why YouTube is now the second largest search engine. Personally, I'm biased towards social media. I think it's the greatest thing EVER and never tire of discovering the next big thing online. But when it comes to building familiarity, trust and relationships with customers, it can't be beat. It's the online marketers best friend and apparently loved by more people than online porn. Who would have guessed?

Have You Checked Out TWUBS?

2010-02-19T14:57:32-05:00

What is Twubs?

Twubs are Twitter groups built around content aggregated from #hashtags.
Twubs is a good place to find disparate social media content all in one place. Whether you want to create groups, event pages, content pages, or just seek to find information on your favorite topics.

According to Glenn Gutmacher at Arbita, This user-friendly and (currently) free site gives you a live Twitter stream for any hashtag, surrounded by related hashtags. It lets you tweet to that hashtag/Twub, with the hashtag and Twub links already built in and add other hashtags. It also lets you attach a video link or any URL (which it will automatically shorten) to your Tweet.

If you're looking to network with targeted talent, it's easy to find people talking about particular subjects, conferences, etc., be part of the discussion, promote yourself and get recommendations of similar discussions. Having the similar hashtags list ("Related Twubs") handy is great when you're wondering what other relevant places your Tweet should go. You can just add those hashtags to your Tweet. Is all of this possible without Twubs? Sure, but not necessarily all from one place until now.

How Can Tubs help you with your marketing?

Twubs helps your marketing, by allowing you to:

link to your site, providing powerful backlinks at no cost
find followers in your niche you didn't know before
add your blog feed into the twub itself.

What's The Buzz on Social Media Week?

2010-01-30T10:37:00-05:00

Social Media Week conferences take place simultaneously in multiple cities around the world. The aim of each event is to advance the use and understanding of social media in the corporate, public and non-profit sectors.

The second annual conference will take place between February 1st – 5th, 2010 simultaneously in New York City, Berlin, London, San Francisco, Toronto and São Paulo. The five day conference will explore the profound impact that social media has on culture, business communications and society at large.

The week-long, international Social Media Week conference is designed as a series of localized events, which city partners are responsible for organizing. Over the course of the week and in each city, programs will span a variety of formats, ranging from talks, presentations and panel discussions, to interactive workshops, seminars, networking events and drinks receptions.

Each event, including the live stream and backchannel conversations will be hosted on the Social Media Week website, allowing for participants from around the world and across multiple cities to take part in the conference.

“Social media has permeated society and is creating a global community that is unprecedented in scope. Social Media Week embraces this phenomenon and is pioneering the way as a global platform for conversation, connectivity and learning. The conference aims to advance the uses of social media in the corporate, public and non-profit sectors, and engage communities on a local and global level.”
Toby Daniels, founder and organizer of Social Media Week

Social Media Week organizers and local partners will plan some of the events, however just as in 2009, the local business community has been invited to add their own events to the program to broaden the scope and diversity of the conference.

The initial program of events will be published soon, in the meantime, if you would like to get involved, we would love to hear from you.
