    Love your Twitter handle? Well, let’s hope there isn’t a business out there with the same name that wants it – or you might be out of luck, Chuck. A couple in Idaho had a Twitter handle for three years and lost it because a resort going by the same name wanted the handle. It can’t be THAT easy to lose your Twitter name, can it? Apparently, yes. But they’re fighting to get it back. continued… New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media.

I noticed a few days ago that I was starting to see a lot more comments being hidden as spam on my Page, as well as a few others I’m an admin for, but none of the comments were spam and often were posted by people who comment on the Page frequently.

    20 May 2013 | 1:00 pm
    As head of HubSpot’s creative and design team, I spend nearly every day acting as the translator between my designers and the rest of the company, particularly executives, marketers, and salespeople, (i.e. those folks whose jobs are often held to more formal or quantitative metrics). Obviously, it should come as no surprise that there is always at least some disconnect between designers and non-designers, especially considering the vast differences in both the day-to-day work and the success metrics of each group. However, having spent the last several years basically being the translator…

  • Can Tumblr Make Yahoo Cool? Marissa Mayer's Bold, Billion-Dollar Bet

    20 May 2013 | 10:13 am
    My first reaction when I read about Yahoo buying Tumblr for $1.1 billion was utterly cynical: Here’s Marissa Mayer overpaying for something yet again. You may recall that two months ago Mayer paid $30 million for a startup called Summly and the only reason seemed to be that Summly’s founder was a high-school kid and photogenic. Tumblr's CEO, David Karp, is 26 years old and has zero experience running a business. Just last month there were reports that Tumblr’s board was growing impatient with Karp and looking to hire a COO to provide adult supervision. Instead, they decided to sell at a…

This week, I come to find they haven't learned a damn thing. When I wrote about their layoffs last year, I cautioned P&G (because they were obviously reading my blog article) that: Digital media is not free Not all advertising is inherently bad Not all digital advertising is inherently effective Apparently, the words of warning did not resonate.

  • Efemr – time limited tweets ?

    17 May 2013 | 10:03 am
    Efemr is a Twitter tool that automatically deletes tweets after a predetermined time using hashtags. With efemr you can now control your reputation better, protect your privacy and sharing humorous fleeting moments with the automatic deletion of public tweets. Just add a Minute/Hour Hashtag e.g. #5m for 5mn, or #1h for 1 hour, etc… depending on how long you want your tweet to stay visible to the public. I do not necessarily agree that it helps protect your reputation or privacy since any tweet could have been archived, taken a screenshot of or anything else. But having a time sensitive one…

    Tweetro did launch as a free Twitter application but due to limits (per their blog) they had to pull the app and make it paid to stay within terms of service. No I was not about to pay $9.99 (normally $12.99) for any Twitter app to simply read tweets.  It better do some magic. The screenshots and explanations show you can pinch and zoom, turn between landscape and portrait mode for deifferent views and even multitasking. The idea seems cool, the UI screenshots look great and being one of the first to work with Metro makes sense.  Has anyone gone deeper into the uage of Tweetro?

    When was the last time you had experienced personal touches from your favorite store or business? Last week, I was queuing to order a drink from one of my favorite tea stores in my local town called “Gong Cha”. When it was my turn to order, the person behind the counter asked if I wanted my usual and keyed my order in before I could answer her. Guess what? I told my friends about it. A few weeks ago, I received an email from one of our subscribers. Heather subscribed to our email newsletters at Binkd and she emailed to ask a few questions. After responding to Heather, she wrote back…

The truth is, while I’ve used it to help me design my room and had tons of great memories, it’s just not working out on a business level for Ask Aaron Lee. I can’t even remember the last time I use it……..

    20 May 2013 | 3:33 am
    The Syrian Electronic Army, which is basically the cyber branch of Assad in Syria, has managed to hack the Financial Times. Pro-Assad hackers have targeted numerous news sites in the past, including parody news site The Onion, with mixed success. On Friday they managed to hack FT’s Twitter account and Tech Blog. We are not sure about the latter, but it might indicate that Assad’s followers aren’t huge Apple fans, unlike their leader.  The FT said the accounts were seized after a phishing attack targeting company emails. The Syrian Electronic Army used the exact same…

  • Big Data could save IT careers

    Nick Farrell
    29 Apr 2013 | 2:59 am
    One of the reasons why talented programmers can't find work is that their CVs are being run past lazy HR people who can't be bothered thinking for a living. According to the New York Times, this trend means that really talented workers are sitting on the dole, while their companies insist that they need to hire foreign workers. This is because when HR search for good candidates they are ignoring talent in favour of degrees and career patterns which are easy to spot. For example, some genius programmers don't have degrees and might even have experience which totally eclipses three or four…

In his first tweets he offered words of praise for Colbert and said he is happy to join his daughter Chelsea on Twitter. However, Hillary Clinton is still not on Twitter. We guess she was preoccupied by some more important matters in recent years. Cobert welcomed Clinton by tweeting: "I taught @billclinton to tweet!

Sounding like a 1980s New Romantic band, the Syrian Electronic Army managed to crash Wall Street by hacking into AP and posting a tweet which claimed that President Barak Obama had been injured after two explosions in the White House. The hack caused "pure chaos" on the US stock exchange, briefly wiping out $136.5 billion and leaving AP's Twitter feeds suspended.

  • Feel Good Klout Perk with a Flaw

    @gknutson
    14 May 2013 | 4:33 pm
    Last week I got an email from Klout offering me a Perk from American Airlines.  Nice, I thought. Free anything from an airline would be pretty sweet.  The offer was a free one-day pass to the American Airlines Admirals Club® Lounge. Not bad I thought again. It’s no free round trip ticket to Paris, but who am I fooling, I’m not that influential. I spend a lot of time flying between Seattle and Portland for business, so after collecting my perk in the form of a downloadable coupon I excitedly took to http://www.aa.com/ to see if I could use the voucher at either of my regular airports. …

  • Making A Movie, Doing Good With Influence

    Influence. Everybody’s got it, but in varying strengths and reach. Bill Clinton = a lot, and wide reaching. My neighbor Randy = a little, and none over his wife. Rush Limbaugh = too much, and with too many people! When people with influence use it to help others beautiful things can happen — like in the instance of Free Throw, a documentary film by my employer WDCW. Free Throw, now available free on Hulu was the brainchild and passion project of Court Crandall, Executive Creative Director and the “C” in WDCW.  In this case Court us ed his well earned influence (as described in…

  • Red Bull Klout Perk

    @gknutson
    15 Nov 2012 | 2:52 pm
    Two comments on this perk: 1) I love that Red Bull sent a four-pack of full sized product instead of coupons, other types of discounts or sample size.  If a brand is going to tell someone they are special, doing so with a %15 off coupon just doesn’t cut it. 2) This is the first perk that I’ve received (I think) that wasn’t Klout branded. The note mentions Klout but doesn’t come with the standard note from Klout founder, Joe Fernandez.  Not good or bad, just an observation.

    It’s been a long time since my last post. Life has been busy. Life has been loud. September 13th marked the end of my nearly 6 years with Wunderman Seattle, a company I owe so much to and who rarely offered a dull moment. After taking off one business day I started at WDCW agency September 17th and was quickly introduced into a fury that is an advertising new business pitch (which we won!).  As exciting as this can be, the long nights and working weekends leave little time to reflect, and thus little time for blogging. Even vacations can leave little time for relaxation. I recently spent 3…

    Summary: Use Twitter’s online system (not email or tweets), reply to their email response, wait. Do NOT create multiple tickets, and be SURE to reply to their first email. Here’s why: Many people miss their responses from Twitter because they don’t check their spam folder, or they don’t realize they will be getting an email, or they have forgotten which email address they used when they signed up for Twitter. If you plan to ask Twitter for help, first check which email you have entered on your Twitter account at and make sure you still have access to it. Then go here…
