Yesterday afternoon at 1:41pm EDT, a 5.0 magnitude earthquake shook Quebec and Ontario and it looks like people ran to Twitter instead of diving for cover. Once again, social media beat traditional media to the punch (as if this is news nowadays), although mainstream outlets were quick to report the news shortly thereafter. We did a little research on social media activity regarding the earthquake using Radian6.

With so much hype surrounding the enormous benefits for businesses to reap with social media, many have eagerly (and expectantly) jumped into the social landscape with a Twitter account and maybe even a Facebook profile or fan page built around their brand or business. The problem happens when these expectant businesses look around and say, “Now what?

In a recent speech by Josh Bernoff of Forrester Research at the ITSMA Marketing Leadership forum it occurred to me that customer acquisition is no longer an “end state” for marketers its somewhere in the middle. Let me explain …. Many marketers focus their efforts on the customer acquisition angle which has the benefit of measurability and thus the accountability for ROI.

Electronics marketplace Retrevo this week released a new study suggesting that mobile shoppers have doubled since February. According to the company, 20 per cent of US consumers have purchased something from a retailer using their cell phone. While this isn’t a surprising trend, the fact that mobile commerce is growing so quickly is somewhat surprising.

What if Foursquare ran its customer service like CitiBank Visa…? @4sqpimp : I got a call today from Brad, my Foursquare rep. I was really surprised. Since when does a location-based service company call its customers? Brad : I identified some unusual activity on @4sqpimp ’s account. Sometimes these kinds of transactions are perfectly normal. Other times they signal a potential problem with the account. @4sqpimp : Brad asked me about my recent check-ins.

When the iPad came out I was vehemently against the idea of getting one, for several reasons: No multitasking. No flash video. No USB. I railed against the device online, I said similar things on the Social Mediators show and I argued against getting one privately. How things change. I’m writing this post on my shiny new iPad, while sitting on a plane to Montreal.

Great question which I found myself asking last night after I reviewed my recent Myers Briggs score. I found it interesting that my score came in as ENTJ. For those of you who aren’t aware of the Myers Briggs test it asks you a bunch of questions from multiple angles to rate you on 4 basic scales: your Favorite World (Introvert/Extrovert), Information (Sensing/Institution), Decisions (Thinking/Feeling) and Structure (Judging or Perceiving).

Social media ROI is a hot topic right now, as social media begins to (slowly) mature. The purists who insisted that the conversation alone was and end, rather than a means, are diminishing in volume and a more rational, approach is emerging balancing the revolutionary aspects of social media with those that are simply evolutionary from existing business practices.

At the recent ITSMA Marketing Leadership forum I was stunned by a presentation given by Sean Geehan CEO of the Geehan Group author of the upcoming book the B2B Executive Playbook. The big eye opener for me was – B2B marketers are always tasked with getting net new customers when in reality their existing customer base is their most important source of revenue and referrals.

When I put together my reading list for 2010, I included Putting the Public Back in Public Relations by the prolific Brian Solis as one of my 2010 “must reads.&# Surprisingly, though, it turned out not to be the first of his books I read this year. The good folks over at Wiley sent me a review copy of his latest book, Engage! , which I’ve just finished reading.

By now I am sure you have heard of the movie Bucket List. In real life we all have one and some bucket lists may be longer than others. On my list (for those of you who know me well) are many opportunities and ideas enabled by my love for sailing. So naturally sailing in a race from Newport RI to Bermuda is on my list. So this year I decided to join in one of the world’s classic ocean race.
