Happy (and Safe) New Year »
Posted on December 31st, 2009 by Justin Seibert in DOM News, Local Search, Social Media | 1 Comment
A quick note of thanks to all our clients, employees, partners, and friends who contributed to making 2009 our company’s finest year. We’ve made huge gains as a company that would not have been possible without everyone’s support. We look to even bigger things in 2010, including some new offerings regarding local SEO that we’ll be announcing early in Q1.
Please bring in the New Year safely and enjoy New Year’s. If you’re into football be sure to root on the Mountaineers of West Virginia and Commodores of Vanderbilt. I guess two wins (over Rice and a non-NS directional Carolina school) don’t get you to a New Year’s Day bowl.
Check back next week as we’re going to be doing some posts about social media optimization, including reasons why you might NOT want to jump into the social media waters and what CMO’s should do when the President of your organization says he saw a news anchor with a twitter account, so we need one, too!

Old Gimmers Sink Their Gums into Twitter »

There are times I hate social media. It’s never the tool itself but the ravenous tugging at the cool tool-du-jour’s carcass by the various vultures surrounding it.
Twitter is one such carcass – a fleshy one, but it’s still being picked over nonetheless.
Some awful twaddle is being talked about Twitter, but when I saw this headline in The Guardian this morning I didn’t know whether to hurl or hurl my monitor.

My (Facebook) Kingdom for a Whopper »
Posted on January 15th, 2009 by Paul Woodhouse in Social Media | 2 Comments
Great Facebook marketing campaigns are rare. And a big brand responsible for a quality social media effort is even rarer.
Last week, Burger King rolled out their Whopper Sacrifice application on Facebook. The user simply had to get rid of ten friends via the application and they’d receive a free Whopper. Each friend you chose had their profile picture burnt in front of your very eyes before they were notified that they’d been part of a flame grilled sacrifice in your quest for a 1$ Whopper.
Genius.

Poor Lois Feldman – The Speaker, Not the Bathroom Party Time Lady »

By now you’ve probably heard the story about Lois Feldman. If not, here’s a quick recap:
Lois was arrested for doing her Humpty Hump (of Digital Underground fame) Burger King bathroom impression in the stall of a public bathroom at a college football game recently. That’s pretty embarrasing, especially in today’s internet age.
But you know what’s really embarrassing?

Is President-Elect Barack Obama a Social Media Stalker? »
Posted on November 19th, 2008 by Paul Woodhouse in Government Marketing, Social Media | 6 Comments
President-elect Barack Obama to have his Blackberry-induced smile wiped off his face?
The world is made up of two types of people – those who think Barack Obama is the Messiah, and those who think he’s a very naughty boy. In amongst that lot are a curious group of Web 2.0 evangelists who think the election was really a win for social media.
