Social Media – A new track please…

kfeighery — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 02:37:38 +0000

A quick post to capture a few thoughts on what I observe re: social media prognostications and insights from people with an interest in this area. I am not interested in bashing social media gurus – like anything there’s people who are opportunistic and see an area where they can make money – and away [...]

New FriendFeed Interface FriendFeed the social aggregator and now real-time sharing and commenting application has upgraded to its new Front-End interface.

Brands on Twitter?

kfeighery — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:57:59 +0000

Lots of chat at Mashable today about whether or not brands belong on twitter. Interesting topic. Brands that just spout regurgitated press releases and pretty anodyne commentary are really irritatiting for most twitter users. But those that do it well and have an actual conversation with people and reply etc... have a place. I was making a comment the other day aboutPeopleBrowser(twitter client) and the founder of the company (@WingDude) and his partner both responded to me within 30mins. They're obviously in brand protection mode but also in customer service mode too. You cannot fault them for either really. It makes sense from both perspectives.

Re-publishing Blogs using Twitter (Unintentionally)

kfeighery — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:04:31 +0000

I have installed a couple of wordpress to twitter tools just to see how they worked etc...But now it seems they've got a mind of their own and keep publishing my blogs on Twitter even when I don't want them to. So Ive tried to switch them off and have them on published on an optional basis - we'll see how that works out. So apologies if this ends up on Twitter again - it aint meant to.
