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.

I was chatting with a friend about the motivations behind the sensationalistic and predictable headlines bloggers use to attract attention. The simplest explanation is that the system is gamed. People write what they write to draw readers, because they participate in affiliate advertising and get paid for clicks, because they are attention whores who get personal validation and an adrenaline rush from increasing bl

And yet it’s happening, alot! According to a May 2010 study by Digital Brand Expressions , 59% of social marketers are operating “without a game plan.” How is that possible? I’m not sure who is at more fault here, the marketer or the company they work for? I would understand that a small number might not do this, but half? Six out of Ten are just creating Facebook, Youtube and Twitter profiles?

I was talking to an SMB owner the other day who is doing everything that he is supposed to do in regards to social media usage for his company, and doing it seemingly correctly. By correctly I mean he has a Facebook fan page and a Twitter account which he updates semi-regularly. He is transparent, authentic, and he shares content and advice liberally when he can.

There are some really wonderful nonprofits out there that work to develop water resources in places where water is scarce. But what about when there is water all around but none that’s safe to drink? This is what’s happening in Southeast Asian countries. Sure there’s water but it’s not safe water. Top that with limited funds and resources for filtering systems or water purification plants and you’ve got a lot of sick families.

Lately, I have been reading more and more advice about how bloggers and article writers should be writing shorter, more concise text in order to make it more attractive to readers. I’m sure that a lot of this will eventually boil down to why you write and read articles, but first, let’s start with some basics about article length. Pros and Cons of Length Variety.

Twitter can be used for many things. It’s being referred to as more of a news platform than a social network. Ogilvy 360 has a very good slidedeck about Twitter strategies that lays out who to follow and what content to create depending on why you are using Twitter.

Watching this TV commercial for Sprint ‘s fourth generation HTC EVO smartphone, you may think the assembly, production, and marketing is awesome. Sprint hopes you think that. Not me. There’s nothing awesome about this ad. It’s unoriginal. Honda beat Sprint to the Dominos-like marketing with this 2003 bit about the Accord — and it’s clear I’m not the only person musing how Sprint lacks inspiration.
