Combine that with location and mobile data, and you get real-time smart agents that tell you whom you should approach in a restaurant to buy a drink.

Mobile is Critical MySpace was slow to adopt mobile technology, and the lack of MySpace in your pocket was part of what killed them. Further, mobile users actually spend more time on Facebook, not less. They recognize that the future is not in dot coms at all, but in deconstructing content and making it mobile and portable.

Don’t use a Facebook Group. The EA Mobile Human Tetris project takes you to a Facebook application where everyone participates in a game of Tetris. You may find opportunities to host real life events, be them at conferences or whatever else. Why not invite your Facebook fans to a special event at your venue?

On the other hand, Plurk is really new, and thus, Twitter wins on followers (and the fact that mobile access — via SMS — totally owns), so the Plurk discussions (for now) are at a minimum. I think plurk is more for networking and twitter more for tweeting news/events/links. Thanks for laying out the two sides. But PLURK?

For now, I think it’s a highly mobile DVD player, game machine, Kindle, iPod, email appliance, and Web surfing device. But, iPad HD screen, color, and zoom make it better for magazines – and I can absolutely see education ( and mobile medicine) potential. What is it? I find Kindle to be easier and better as a book device.

Curious people are driven to push into new group and solve problems in new ways. A regular marketer is usually product minded and aims products (or content, or whatever) at target groups, while a social media marketer is consumer minded and matches groups of people with products. Be genuine in all your communications 5.

2) Even if they were comparing two similar groups geographically, the numbers are still completely distorted – ironically, eroding the credibility of Ad Age as an information source – but the “25%&# they highlight is derived by comparing a group of 25-35 yr olds in 2008 to a group of 35-64 year olds in 2010.

Meanwhile, however, I do very much like Facebook Lite , which strips down a lot of the shiny distractions, and gives you a threaded News Feed, birthdays, and events – and that’s about it.

mid-sized and large companies today, the email group and the social media group are not the same, and communicate infrequently. Having a single platform (the combined ExactTarget/CoTweet) will enable those groups to work together, creating operational efficiencies. It is Mobile on the radar? Is your biz ready?

After the socially awkward embracing is done, invite both groups in during the creative process. Yet, it seems to be a stagnant mode of gathering feedback. Great post!

The ability to make or consume social media from an array of mobile devices increases the convenience factor (and the pressure on my wi-fi router) immensely.
