Great post Jon, as usual. I have to say I love going into an Apple store and buying my stuff via their phone app.. you get to touch it, see it, scan it and then walk out. As this develops I foresee it becoming very dynamic and a great tool for the consumer resulting in more sales for the brand.. as long as humans are not cut-out completely. Nothing beats H2H biz.. human to human ;)

It's what I call the being "First" mentality. You know, those people that need to be the first to view a video or comment on a post, only to type the word "First" with no other thoughts or reason. It is the same way of thinking only from a contributors view point. It isn't simply about the lack of thought that goes into posting items like this, it's the compulsion to do things fast, hard and for an immediate reaction. Facebook along with many other digital platforms is definitely creating a society that acts, long before it thinks!

Re: [New Data] Higher Klout Scores Mean More Successful Websites

bsimi — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:26:59 -0000

Isn't it the other way around.. Don't successful websites create an elevated Klout? Like, Michael Jordan was an amazing basketball player because Nike paid him a lot of money.

Dear CBS,
You would think an article about the worlds most expensive burger would have been spellchecked. At first I was impressed you didn't call it Kobe beef although there is no such thing as waygu. It is Wagyu.

Awesome re-cap of the event. Wish I knew you were there - haven't seen you in a while. Great night with the exception of a friend of mine, and key team member for the Community of the Year, iHadCancer, saying to Pete Cashmore "great job up there" and being dismissed as though he doesn't matter. People like Pete Cashmore need to realize they are not that important.

People getting free stuff *perks* and then tweeting about it until the next freebie shows up at their doorstep is NOT an advocate nor a brand ambassador. A true brand advocate is the person that pays money for your product then tells the world how amazing it is.
Is there a study that shows the direct sales of perk products as a result of the perk campaign? I simply don't see it but would love to know the numbers.

Re: Reluctantly Pinning My Way Around Another Social World

Great post and example of how to use Pinterest for exposure/business. I still see the biggest hurdle being that of many platforms; time commitment, strategy and funding to do it. Many businesses, including the company I work for, struggle to justify the money needed for alternative marketing/sales/PR. It is over-simplifying it to say "okay marketing/social/sales team, START using Pinterest." ;) I am really not trying to be snarky.. It is one thing to use it as an individual, when you want to relax or buzz-around the web.. it is very different to approach it as business. It requires resources. I equate it to a successful hotdog guy in a balpark. You cant keep giving him more to do like selling the soda and the cotton candy too.. these are separate people selling something specific..I do think Pinterest could be very valuable.. with effort, resources and $$$.

I still believe it's biggest flaw is picking the speakers and the subjects now.. half my job with digital is trying to keep up with and guess what will be new/effective. By March the way we do biz on Facebook could be completely changed form today..etc. I also find it has become a 'preaching to the choir' kind of event. It seems a majority of the people there already get it.. and although we can always learn more I think the future is business specific. The way a hotel utilizes digital will be different than the way Pepsi does.. I would like to see more people like you and other success stories speaking directly to the industries themselves. I am a generalist.. so to speak..truly a hotel/restaurant pro first - digital is new. People need to stop talking to each other and speak to those running the actual businesses that need and can benefit from the new digital tools!

p.s. love ya man!

Great perspective.. I love when someone RT's a link to an article and I click to read it and it is a good 10 minute read yet the RT comes 1 minute after the post or link goes out, clearly was not read by the person..just auto-sent. I have gone through stages of personal use of twitter; battling cancer, building a hotel brand and now for more personal usage. I now realize twitter is like a newspaper, people use it for many reasons. SOme read the whole newspaper others rip it apart and only care about specific sections.. twitter is the same. Some people are trying to conduct business, others exclusively supporting their sports teams and some just randomly say whatever they want.. there are no rules.. if the users are starting to change the landscape and viability of twitter then its up to twitter to create change.. its free and we all use it freely and differently.
