Tweetbot: My Favorite Twitter App for iOS
EverythingTwitter13 Apr 2012 | 3:16 pmIf you haven’t heard about Tweetbot by now, you either don’t own an iPhone or have no iPhone friends. Tweetbot is a Twitter client for iPhone that, visually, is refreshing to see in the Apple App Store. For me, the biggest advantage that Tweetbot has over Twitter for iPhone are multiple timelines! It’s hands down the easiest way ever to switch between Twitter lists. I recently deleted Twitter for iPhone and Tweetbot has replaced it. It’s not my only Twitter app though. Lack of Facebook/Facebook Pages support still keeps Seesmic on my iPhone. For $1.99, Tweetbot is worth it! Read a… -
The 10 Best-Branded Companies on Instagram
HubSpot's Inbound Internet Marketing Blog18 May 2012 | 1:15 pmEarlier this year, we profiled five brands that have each built themselves a solid marketing presence on Instagram, the popular photo editing and sharing social network so often linked to Twitter and Facebook updates. We’ve also stressed the why and how of using Instagram for marketing, citing the increasing importance of mobile marketing, and how that should be playing into the strategies and tactics of your social media marketing. Now, I'm sure most of you know that social media is important. I’m also confident that many of you know some basic strategies. But let’s talk… -

Who's REALLY at Fault for GM's Facebook Ad Failure?
18 May 2012 | 9:00 am"Facebook ads suck." For many companies, advertising on Facebook and expecting a return is a "fantasy." If you clicked those hyperlinks, you found just two examples in the flurry of negative press surrounding Facebook advertising of late -- all stemming from the recent GM announcement to cut $10 million in paid ad spend on the social network. It makes you wonder what prompted this announcement from GM. Is this a media tactic to help searches for GM? Or were the results of Facebook advertising really so miserable that it warranted this media attention? Who knows -- the onslaught of coverage… -
How to Use LinkedIn Emails to Generate Loads of Leads
18 May 2012 | 6:00 amEarlier this year, a HubSpot study found that when it comes to generating leads, LinkedIn is 277% more effective than Twitter and Facebook. What people are having trouble grasping, though, is how. The tricky thing with LinkedIn is that there isn't just one single place to attract leads. There's LinkedIn Company Pages, LinkedIn Answers, LinkedIn Today, and so on. But the leader of the pack -- if done right, of course -- is LinkedIn Groups. In fact, HubSpot currently has three LinkedIn Groups for our different communities: Inbound Marketing University Alumni, Inbound Marketing Certified… -

20 Things Every Graduating Marketing Student Needs to Know
17 May 2012 | 9:30 amIt's college graduation season! Graduation caps are flying through the air, names are being mispronounced, and awkward questions about future careers are being asked. What's missing? A crash course when it comes to what marketing students actually need to know to enter the real world of marketing. Unfortunately, featuring your fancy new diploma with the words "B.S. in Marketing" does more for fantastic graduation photos than it does for fantastic post-grad jobs. The sad truth is that most marketing students aren't adequately prepared for the real world. To all you current and future marketing…

NASCAR puts you in the driver’s seat
18 May 2012 | 12:27 pmNASCAR drivers have covered a lot of ground this year — and they’ve done it on Twitter. While @JimmieJohnson was 41,000 feet in the air, he hosted a live chat with fans. When the top Sprint Cup racers took a trip to the White House, they documented every step of their journey. During the Daytona 500, @keselowski found himself stopped on the track during a fire, and shared the view from the driver’s seat. And when you watch @KaseyKahne make his way around the track, you’ll see a hashtag on the back of his car.It’s clear that Twitter and NASCAR are a great match, and we’re working… -

#OnlyOnTwitter: How photos make connections
17 May 2012 | 2:20 pmCommunities are stitched together by numerous kinds of ties. In person there’s the smile, handshake, a shared laugh. From afar there’s the letter, email, a phone call. Twitter has a noteworthy power to bring you closer to a community instantaneously, and this week’s collection of #OnlyOnTwitter moments illustrates how this can be done with photographs.Whether it’s Broadway actors sharing an intermission break despite being in different shows, or photos from far away that pierce the mystique to show real, human people. Or (my favorite), if on your band’s tour you suddenly stumble… -
New tailored suggestions for you to follow on Twitter
17 May 2012 | 12:32 pmEvery day, hundreds of thousands of people sign up for Twitter to get closer to the things they care about — friends, businesses, celebrities, news and information from all over. If you’ve used Twitter for awhile, you know it can take some effort to find and follow the accounts that really reflect your interests. If you’re signing up for Twitter for the first time, we want that process to be easy and fast. Currently, when new users come to Twitter, we show them all almost the same suggestions for what or who to follow. That isn’t ideal. Since you have individual interests, you should… -

Tweeki, A Simple and Clean Twitter App for Windows
23 Apr 2012 | 9:00 amWindows OS has been getting a lot of love from Twitter developers over the past year, and Tweeki keeps the love coming. Gracing Windows users with a simple design reminiscent of Mac apps, Tweeki offers the basics of Twitter with a handful of advanced features such as notifications from the taskbar and multiple account management. However, these features fail to hide the fact that this app lacks some basic features like sharing and viewing photos from within the app. Early adopters won’t find Tweeki to be of much use. However, casual Twitter users will enjoy the uncluttered interface… -

Tadvise – analyze your tweets before sending them
19 Mar 2012 | 11:12 amThis was an interesting approach Tadvise took in checking tweets before they are sent for relevancy. They look at what you are about to send to your followers, including hashtags and help decide if your followers will retweet or even care about it. They also recommend some accounts that may retweet it. Where they get this list from was not clear and I wonder if they are sponsored in some way. You must follow Tadvise before using the service. They have a good explanation page of why due to rate limits with the Twitter API and crawling. If you chose not to follow Tadvise and the site… -
Skills.to allows you to tag and endorse via Twitter
16 Mar 2012 | 1:58 pmThis is such a simple site but follows along the idea of Klout. With Skills.to you are able to tag yourself and others with skills and then get endorsements on those skills. Imagine myself and Corvida in social media. Then toss some skills onto mine for podcasting and IBM software. I get some endorsements and then it seems more verified. I wish there was a way to make widgets from the skills assigned and endorsed. Or a way to easily attach this to your Twitter profile. But as you can see in the screenshot below, after using oAuth there is not much else you need to do to take advantage…

The future is now…
17 May 2012 | 2:43 amAt least it is while I’m reading my latest book purchase. I always love looking through charity shops to see what people once wanted but have let go due to changing tastes, changing fashions etc. And occasionally you stumble across something like ‘The Road Ahead’ by Bill Gates for the bargain price of £1! For one thing, it’s hard not to be impressed when the cover was shot by Annie Leibovitz – puts all the talk of ‘rock star’ marketeers and developers now into perspective! The other is that I’ve only skimmed the first few page so far, but… -
3D Printing in 2012 – innovation coming thick and fast
9 May 2012 | 8:37 amWhen I wrote ‘2012 – the year of 3D Printing?‘, I didn’t realise it would quickly become one of my most popular ever posts, get masses of great comments and end up featured on other sites including the Wall Street Journal. But that was back in August,2011, so how are my predictions fairing up now we’re approaching halfway through 2012? Well, I’d say pretty good – it’s still going to be a while before we see a 3D printer in every home, but the capabilities to make use of them have already arrived, and the hardware itself is getting cheaper.

Whether it’s laughter or tears, love or hate, making a purchase or revolting against a government – both can provide amazing tools to inspire and encourage. It’s how I ended up combining writing and marketing. And it’s why I don’t dream about one day turning this business into an ‘SEO’ agency. Or a ‘social media’ agency. I dream growing this business into something larger which is known for being able to enable change and action both internally and externally. And it’s why I… -
Still here – 6 years of blogging and 4 years of data…
30 Apr 2012 | 4:18 pmAlthough I started publicly blogging at TheWayoftheWeb on a blogspot account back in 2006, it was only in 2008 that I switched to WordPress and installed my current Google Analytics account, so May 1 is kind of an anniversary. Technically I really started blogging back in about 1999 with a Homestead website, but that didn’t progress further than some horrific design decisions and a couple of extremely half-hearted business ideas, such as a database of pub reviews (I still occasionally wonder how much revenue the likes of FancyAPint make!) Either way I’ve constantly veered between… -
Facebook’s Trending Articles – adding irrelevance into my network
25 Apr 2012 | 4:58 pmFacebook started testing ‘Trending Articles’ roughly a week ago, but they’ve appeared in my own account for the first time today. Now below the latest update from my network, I get a block displaying 5 articles read by someone connected to me, like so (name of friend removed as who knows whether they want it displayed publicly) I have the vaguest idea that this might be about American Football – a sport I rarely watch as I’m not a big fan, and it’s not freely available in the UK. In fact, none of the 5 highlighted stories were particularly interesting or…

Twitter suggests who to follow according to your web history
18 May 2012 | 4:54 amSeparate the 'tweet' from the chaff Twitter is changing the way it recommends to its users who to follow, based on the websites they frequent. Previously, when a new tweeter signed up the suggestions tend to be the likes of Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian and Rihanna. In other words those with mammoth amounts of followers. However, the new approach aims a making suggestions that are more relevant to you and your tastes. For example, if you spend a majority of time visiting travel sites, you’ll be recommend accounts that deal with that particular industry, along with people who share a… -

Previously, customers have been able to take advantage only of deals selected by O2 and while, ultimately, this will still be the case, customers will be able to have more of a say in what they want from the free downloadable application. O2 will use the crowd-sourced results to approach the brands most… -
Orange TVcheck app auto recognises programmes, makes TV social

After a successful launch of the app in France in September 2011, the TVcheck app will automatically detect which programme you are watching on the goggle box and offer you a range of associated features. The aim is to make your phone a social companion for the programme you're watching. Of course, through the likes of Facebook and Twitter, it already is, but TVcheck aims to cultivate these social networks specifically for… -

Unfortunately (for now) Facebook Offers are only available on Pages that have selected the Local Business category and have listed a physical location since Offers can only be redeemed by walking into a place of business. Hopefully that will change soon and all Page owners will be able to create an Offer that can be redeemed through online order forms, over the phone, etc., but until then, the rest of this article will only apply to businesses that… -
Understanding Facebook Insights; The Simple Version

I have included a screenshot showing a comparison between two of my posts to illustrate my point. I’ve also included Facebook’s explanation of what each metric shows. Reach: The “Reach” number is described by Facebook as the “unique people who have SEEN your post” but that’s not really true since obviously Facebook has no magic way of tracking whose eyes actually focused on your… -
Facebook Increases Size of Timeline Profile Photos; Trying to Keep Up with Google+?
17 Apr 2012 | 9:08 amTweet You may have noticed that for the past few days the size of the profile photos on both our personal and business Timelines was fluctuating. Depending on the browser one was using sometimes the photo would appear at the normal size and then other times it would be quite a bit larger. Of course this prompted a lot of speculation that Facebook was changing the size to make profile photos larger in response to new larger size of Google+ profile photos. Others were reporting they thought it was a bug and then eventually reported that it was indeed a bug. Well, apparently it wasn’t a… -
Has Facebook Increased the Resolution and Thus Improved the Quality of Our Timeline Cover Photos?
16 Apr 2012 | 8:44 amTweetI haven’t seen anything official from Facebook about this but over the weekend I made a couple minor modifications to my personal and brand Timeline covers and noticed that after I uploaded them the quality of the images had improved dramatically, compared to the way they looked last week, which lead me to suspect that Facebook may have decreased the level of compression they’ve been using on those images. To keep file sizes small and page load times low, Facebook compresses the Timeline cover images quite a bit. When those images are purely photographic this usually still… -

Before I get to the how to part I want to start with a disclaimer. For the record, I’m not a big fan of animated images because unfortunately they tend to be over used. Seeing one here and there can be amusing but a page full of them is annoying. I certainly hope that anyone who reads this and tries it out will use good judgement. I’m not writing this blog post because I want to turn Facebook into…

The new business reality: a feature as a business model
20 May 2012 | 6:09 amIt’s almost comical to say there is a new business reality at play.

It’s impossible to follow 130,000 people on Twitter, but I do it anyway.
17 May 2012 | 8:49 amWhen I started using Twitter back in 2009, there were many strategies to manage the size of your account. Some teaches you to not follow your followers. It seems that having many followers while following as little people as possible reflects authority. “Twitter Gurus” were even preaching that we should follow as many people as possible and then unfollowing them once they become your followers. But some say that to follow your followers is a form of courtesy. In the end, I felt that the first strategy wasn’t fit for me and I had decided to go with following my followers. As a… -
How @ModCloth is dominating social media
12 May 2012 | 5:17 pmOne of my followers pointed me to ModCloth, an online women’s clothing and accessories company. ModCloth focuses on independent and vintage-inspired fashion founded by two sweethearts from their college dorm room. Since then I’ve had my eyes on them. ModCloth, in my opinion, ticks all the boxes as to what it truly means to be a social business and they are a great example for every brand to learn from. The key to being successful on social media isn’t about tweeting or updating Facebook statuses, it’s about giving an immaculate customer service, adding value and building a great… -
Get yourself a portable computer
9 May 2012 | 3:50 pmA laptop is one of the most vital pieces of technology. Get yourself one! Why? Because you deserve it. I used to love my desktop. I had a laptop too, but I prefer my desktop because it feels good to have something anchored and unmoving. I’ve since migrated to love laptops due to my work schedule. Recently, I was approached by Toshiba to be part of their influencer program and test their Toshiba Portégé Z830 Ultrabook. I never really knew how good it was until I really used it. Today, everyone in my family loves it and has been using it. If you’re in search for a good laptop in need for… -
This is not the way you should automate twitter
6 May 2012 | 7:13 pmThat is what Acura (or whoever is behind the account) about to learn as they “spammed” the wrong person, David Meerman Scott author of several marketing books like Real Time Marketing and PR. (great book and this is not an affilate link) Oh.. I think its going into his book in the future too. What happened? Well lets say they have not read any of my memo on personalizing tweets and they took the easy way out by using a tool called Local Response, a tool that helps clients to send tweets or @mentions to people in real time based on checkins, hashtags/keywords etc. Also, they have… -
Where do you blog the most?
4 May 2012 | 7:43 amOther than the Smartphone, the laptop is the second most versatile piece of technology that exists today. With the ever-growing range of portable computers that allow business owners to bring their work where ever they are, we tend to forget that the laptop is an amazing technological feat. The best thing about my work is that I am able to work as long as I have a computer and a stable internet connection. In fact, I don’t need an office. Most of the time I am either working on my desk in my bed room or elsewhere. Here are my favourite places to blog/work from: 1. My room/desk This is the…

Being No. 2 is Better Sometimes
4 May 2012 | 12:05 amImagine yourself looking at your sales reports for the month. On its own, your sales figures look fine. But when you compare it with your sales and marketing expenses, it’s a little below where you expect it to be. You begin to wonder what you are not doing right.

Chances are you have already identified who they are and more so, you know them very well such that you have just the right products to satisfy their specific needs. How come, then, are you having… -

Completing the Strategic Marketing Triad – The Company
27 Apr 2012 | 3:05 amIt’s so easy to fall prey into the trap of delighting customers in any way you can or retaliating to your competitors’ actions as much as you can. When this happens, we tend to lose touch with the element that gives substance to our marketing efforts – our company. While being customer – oriented or competition – oriented is good, it is not sufficient. We must ensure that all the things we are doing for the customers or competitors shall be favorable to the company. What do we mean by favorable? It means earning profit at reasonable levels with honor. You see, if we don’t operate…

Windows 8 privacy fears over stated
9 May 2012 | 7:31 amIn something that would have been unthinkable a while ago, a insecurity expert has waded in to support Microsoft over a security "flaw" in Windows 8. The problem is that Windows 8 connects its users with networks including Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, LinkedIn, Hotmail, Gmail, and Exchange. InfoWorld claimed that the process leaves a lingering cache of automatically collected contacts which are stored unencrypted on a Windows 8 client. It means that anyone who can sign on to your PC with an administrator account and can see all of your contacts and all of their data names, email addresses,… -
Zuckerberg facing tough IPO questions
9 May 2012 | 2:51 amSocial networking giant Mark Zuckerberg is probably regretting holding a roadshow to try and push his company's coming IPO. The move has meant that he has to face potential shareholders who are already asking him tricky questions like why he spent a billion dollars buying Instagram, a photo-sharing app with no revenues. Zuckerberg is not used to being questioned. Normally Facebook has run more or less on his whim, now hundreds of potential investors are getting the chance to hit him with tricky questions such as how to you spell antidisestablishmentarianism.

8 May 2012 | 11:19 amCardinal George Pell has backed away from a threat to sue Twitter for defamation over a comedian's tweet.
