We sit online most of every day. We read voraciously. And even then we are often humbled by the rate in which technology develops and the implications that has on social media, consumer engagement and creative capabilities. Seriously. Log on to www.slideshare.net and type in the words “social media”. Do that every Monday for a month. I promise you 4 mind blowing Mondays. It’s scary, it’s challenging, it’s daunting. Most of all it’s very very exciting. We get it. Our problem is that most of the people we try to share our passion with, don’t sit online all day. They don’t interact with social media on a daily level. Some don’t have Facebook accounts. Leave alone the fact that Facebook, with its “like” function proliferating the net, is now genuinely giving Google a run for it’s money in the “I’m the most powerful being in the universe race”. GOOGLE!!!!!! We get asked if we can Tweeter things on Facebook. We have been asked to post a brand’s event photos to Youtube. We have been asked to make a medical brand’s infomercial go “viral” like that Susan Boyle video. Really people? Do we really come across like the guy in the video below when we share our passion?

Gaze into Our Crystal Balls – 2010 trend predictions
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
There’s a lot of content making predictions about 2010 and the trends that will dominate it. Some are legit, some aren’t. Some cite valid resources and I swear I think a few of these people are making up figures and terms as they go along. We spend regrettably large chunks of our time skimming through all of it and this is what we’ve come up with. It’s by no means the final word, but then again, in the game of predictions, such a thing doesn’t really exist does it?
Is your Brand Using Social Media Properly?
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009I found an interesting article through the people at Haveyouheard, a South African WOM agency. Through their blog I checked out a cool presentation on Slideshare called What the F@$& is Social Media?, watched a youtube video describing Social Media in Plain English and found Paul Marsden’s blog post listing 10 companies that are doing a great job using social media to improve their business. And now I get to share it with you, whoever you are.
All started through a link in their e-newsletter. The interned is awesome.
