Creative campaigns via Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Instagram, etc. A few weeks ago, PR at Sunrise brought to light a very interesting debate happening between communicators and sales folks. The topic was, “ Should the sales team pay for part of the social media budget? ”. It’s an interesting question. At first I thought, “Yes, the sales team should pay for a portion of the social media budget.” But then I thought about it a little more and changed my mind. First off, for the vast majority of brands it’s problematic to make sales the primary focus for their social media efforts.

Over the past year, team TriOut had an amazing opportunity to participate at various location based conference such as geom with some of the other location-based services like foursquare, gowalla and scvanger and at blogworld 2010 we launch version two of our iPhone app. Originally posted on TriOut’s blog. How time flies in the location space. Just one year ago, Lawrence Ingram and myself held a TriOut launch party at the Research Triangle Park HQ and launched TriOutNC.com.

Foursquare has been a great indicator of mobile marketing’s power. Welcome to 2011! Well, not yet, but we’re just about there. With the New Year being just around the corner, it’s about time we lay out our predictions for next year’s major marketing trends. Here’s what I think will both happen and be important for businesses owners and brand marketers. Offline Mobile Marketing will Grow. Social Media will Mature. Increased Importance of SEO. More Small Businesses will Invest Online. Metrics and Measurements will Increase. Tracking will Becomes More Difficult. 2: Social Media will Mature.

This past week my post Foursquare is F#*&ed My friend Laurie once said, “I have 10,000 followers on Twitter, and they still screw up my order at Starbucks.” If that doesn’t explain that online popularity means nothing, I don’t know what does.

I found out today I lost one of Foursquare Mayorships.  While my heart was saddened for the slightest of moments, I instead realized how little I am using Foursquare. There’s a lot of potential in Foursquare.  Another reason I’m burned out is the Foursquare app itself.  I live in suburban hell, which means on every street corner is a Wendy’s or a McDonald’s, not the type of places that have Foursquare deals.  Tags: Foursquare 4SQ Burnout But that’s all it is for me right now, potential.  I use the iPhone app on an iPhone 3G.  Is that so much to ask? 

Add the time you are waiting to check in on Foursquare, and the time you spend on Facebook and you’re draining years of your life away. It’s funny how I started the week feeling burned out about blogging and social media.  However, the awkward tweets, the mindless check-ins, the technical nightmare of running a blog really resonated with a lot of readers this week, meaning one thing: You all are really burned out as well. The more I think about it though, it doesn’t come as a surprise.  How many tweets can we possibly read in a day?  You can’t do it.  They leave these platforms forever.

Foursquare without any Information - I see a lot of “I’m at CVS.” Tags: Twitter Foursquare So, last Monday I had a lot of fun with the Top Five Tweets I Hate to See , so I figured, let’s beat a dead horse until it’s glue.  This is my list of common tweets I saw this past week and what drove me nuts: Good Morning - Sometimes it’s just those two words. Sometimes it’s “Good morning and have a great amazing awesome day!”  Rarely it’s “Good Morning.  Today is going to suck.”  Either way, it’s morning and we remember you are here even if you didn’t tweet good morning.  So stop it.

This past week my post  Foursquare is F#*&ed  was read over 13,000 times. My friend Laurie once said, “I have 10,000 followers on Twitter, and they still screw up my order at Starbucks.”. If that doesn’t explain that online popularity means nothing, I don’t know what does. In any other time if you had your article read 13,000 times you’d have some type of popularity and minor cult following. go out and most people have no idea who the hell I am. Don’t they know I can tweet about them snidely? That I can blast them in a Facebook status update? That’ll show em.

Can someone who researches and develops strategies and campaigns go around saying “ Foursquare is F#8&ed ?”. A year ago I made few decisions that culminated into a blog called the Anti-Social Media. What a ride it’s been. In 11 months of blogging, I’ve written over 250 posts, had three speaking engagements, met lots of amazing people, and become a snarkier happier person. That’s why I am humbled and honored to announce I’ll be joining Capstrat  as a Social Media Associate. m excited to be joining Angela Connor , Cord Silverstein, and the entire interactive team. Thank you.

After I spent a shopping trip using and loving enjoying this feature, I predict Foursquare, Gowalla, and their like will not last too much longer. Facebook Deals are moving to national brands quickly, something Foursquare has struggled with. Mom and Pop Stores on Foursquare or the like are probably already on Facebook, and it’s easy as hell to set up a deal. If you’ve got 500 Facebook fans, and only 40 Foursquare users, where are you going to go? Tags: foursquare Location Based Networks Facebook Facebook places Facebook deals Fucking. Genius.

Is FourSquare The Answer? My new article on Strategies for Social Networking Sites has just been published on ‘DesiCretive’ You can view the article here:  [link].

Is FourSquare The Answer? How can facebook make it. Do you know that there may be a social networking site which is bigger or almost equal to Facebook? And do you know it earns 2-3 times more than Facebook already? That site is Qzone (Tencent), and it earns over a billion dollars in revenues per annum. How did this happen? And what can Facebook do to catch up quickly? ‘I will cite a personal example- just before Diwali I was playing this awesome game on Ibibo.com called Teen Patti. I had less money (virtual)- but great cards. In the excitement and heat of game. Mobile Marketing!

I was beginning to hear a lot about Foursquare in the past few months , actually more after I bought the   iPhone3G, and in the past few days decided to explore and experience Foursquare myself. However Foursquare takes it to the next level intelligently by using the entire concept as if it were a video game. The iPhone app of Foursquare is awesome and convenient, though I am not able to use it fully as I am unable to find New Delhi city in the app and hence have registered in Mumbai (the only Indian city in the list I guess). So How does FourSquare Work?

Is FourSquare The Answer? I am not an entrepreneur (so far!) or a CEO of an Indian Internet organisation, but I am an Indian who has worked for a few years in global and Indian internet companies and over the years have tried to fathom the gaps that have succeeded in disabling Indian companies to scale heights which they deserved as also tried to understand how Indian CEOs can make their companies fare really better and not just look better! guess the first day of 2010 is a good time to reflect and express on a few of those things. Let them have some fun with the stuff. Period.

I also exist on LinkedIn, Tumblr, Foursquare, and a bunch of other places, but I don’t try as hard on them because I don’t understand them, don’t use them the way they are intended, or I just don’t care for them.  The Anti-Social Media RSS Archive Mobile Breaking connections between friends since 2010.
