I’m a big fan of #4. Will also be getting my butt back into all the hype (location services, here I come (again)).

Social Media New Year’s Resolutions

2010 was a great year for the social web and 2011 looks even better. So, as we prepare to get back to work, renewed and refreshed, a few social media New Years’ Resolutions are in order.

I like the concept and get it in one view, but I think the editing’s too much - needs a little more time to process - maybe if they dropped a couple platforms, a tighter, more polished narrative would emerge.

when it comes to advertising. I don’t believe in that, but apparently plenty of people do. I blame media buyers and unscrupulous clients.

So it’s ultramicrogeocaching with social good? How do points translate to $$ for these organizations? Can people play between different platforms?

Don’t get me wrong - it’s a neat idea in theory (and well designed), but relies heavily on the thoughtful/creative/resourceful-ness of both parties in practice. And what if someone gives you a gift all the way across the ocean and you can’t find it?

galvanizeus:

Here’s our founder, Kristen Taylor, showing you how to play Galvanize!

p.s. We’re presenting at the New York Tech Meetup tonight (along with GroupMe, Hashable, UpGo, OpenVBX, FastSociety, Catchafire, Plum Willow, Hitmaker).

You can watch the livestream starting at 7p; Kristen will likely present sometime between 7:15 and 7:30p EST.

Meet people in your field - probably at conferences. “You can think of it kind of like Foursquare meets LinkedIn with just a pinch of Match”.

Interesting, but how many things can you juggle/update at once? I need an app to multitask my multitasking.

They absolutely do. Especially in light of the ownership issue. All these sites have proven unreliable in the past and do you want to trust your brand with that? Brands must take a hub and spoke approach to the their interactive branding strategy. The site, whether it’s mobile or web based is the hub and all the other sites - Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare - are the hubs.

Social is a fad. An important and revolutionary 5-10 year fad, but one nevertheless. Brands are scattering themselves out all over the place to the point where they think they need a “social media agency of record” and other silly ideas. What they need is a strong brand manager with a strong, competent agency that understands the big picture and can handle all your needs. If they can’t, at least give them the ability to partner with smaller, more specialized companies that will write Facebook updates. This keeps the message consistent and “on brand”. Having umpteen businesses controlling different messages just makes for a confusing morass for all involved.

digital-diva:

With the current digital buzz about Foursquare sign-posts, Twitter accounts, Facebook fan pages and apps that do everything, AdAge.com asked “do brand websites still matter?”

It’s a good question and one that I’m sure marketing manager or brand manager is pondering. Having just spent a great…

I’m a little behind on my news, but after reviewing what Google’s come up with for this platform, it’s really gonna kill it. Makes me wonder if there will even be cable companies in the next 5 years.
