79.79% failed to provide a homepage URL

China.

Posted by: Cali on: June 2, 2009

Big news out of China this week is that the government has once again cut off access to Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and other social media sites in preparation for the 20th anniversary of  the Tiananmen Square protests. You can read here, here and here to learn more. 
Which makes me wonder why this awesome campaign [...]

Ashton.

Posted by: Cali on: May 12, 2009

Twitter spam is the new Nigerian Prince. Ever since the whole Ashton Kutcher race to a million followers I’ve noticed that twitter spam has taken over. So thanks Ashton for teaching people that twitter is not a social media tool, but rather a constant race to gain more followers. 
BA (Before Ashton) you’d see a fake profile [...]

Twitterverse.

Posted by: Cali on: December 26, 2008

Hubspot released their state of the Twitterverse report a few days ago and I’m actually really surprised by some of the results. Decifinitely check it out for the full report, but here are a few tidbits. 

35% of users have 10 or fewer followers (really? not even spam follows them?) 
Traffic has grown 600% over the last [...]

Unfollow.

Posted by: Cali on: December 8, 2008

I’m still on my Twitter kick…so my apologies to anyone who is not (yet) a fan of microblogging. There has been an increase lately with spammers and while I will follow back most who follow me, I will quickly unfriend someone if I suspect they’re spam (or really annoying). Do people who spam actually click [...]

Magpie.

Posted by: Cali on: November 24, 2008

Twitterverse, Tweettown, Twittersphere…whatever you want to call the group of Twitter was all a flutter this weekend regarding the breakthrough of Twitter advertising. Be-A-Magpie is the first attempt (as far as I’m aware) of monetizing Twitter and actually pays you to give up a few of your tweets to advertisers. 
I really do not understand what the [...]

Twitter.

Posted by: Cali on: November 20, 2008

Ok I think I’m finally addicted to Twitter. I signed up for Twollow earlier this week and that pushed me over the edge. Despite my love of microblogging, most of my friends and coworkers barely know the name Twitter.
I stumled upon this neat little slideshare on the Twittering which I think covers the basics rather [...]

Spam.

Posted by: Cali on: September 15, 2008

There is a lot of argument amongst advertisers, social media users and the online gurus as to where advertising stands in the lines of social media.

Is it really ok to make your brand a “friend” or to ask people to become your “fan”?
Do banner ads and text ads intrude on the social space on the web?
What [...]

Police.

Posted by: Cali on: September 12, 2008

Twitter is a great tool that so few people have learned to take advantage of, but one local police department has learned to utilize micro blogging as a public service tool.  The Scottsdale, AZ PD tweets about traffic issues, breaking news like bomb scares, missing people updates and other crime news. I’m surprised that San [...]
