Re: 10 Top Business Blogs and Why They Are Successful

ckieff — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 10:14:21 -0000

This is a great post but I took a look at the numbers behind these and other business blogs. Most business blogs appear to be flat in Unique Visitors while many are declining, including most of the blogs on this list. Only one of the blogs ManOfTheHouse by P&G has a growing visitor list according to Compete.com. My complete analysis is here: http://www.1goodreason.com/...

Chrome version doesn't display follower count, like the desktop version. It does however offer a new "Blended" column which can combine multiple feeds. A nice feature. I wrote about how I use Tweetdeck here: http://www.1goodreason.com/...

Yes Tweetdeck has a new Chrome App, it's better for CPU loading but lacks many features. I've been trying to determine which was the best. This article has me learning new features in Hootsuite I wasn't aware of, many are mentioned in these comments. Such as viewing Klout Scores.

I think that this list far surpasses my 9 points list and I'll adopt this as my new 2011 standard for social media expertise.
Well played my friend. I owe you a drink next time you're in the social media Mecca of NYC.

Re: Why CIOs Should Own Corporate Social Media Policy

ckieff — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:58:34 -0000

Unfortunately, CIO's and their organizations more often than not act as impediments rather an facilitators. As evidenced by the fact that so many block social media sites today.

Social media should be managed by each manager in each department but coordinated company wide by the infrastructure team. This would include the CIO, and HR, and Marketing and PR. The CIO can't properly address marketing or PR issues which arise in social media. Therefore, they are no more the right person to manage social media than are CMO's.

When social media is seen as a utility which all employees have access to, just like telephones, and coffee, then the organization has learned how to use it to the fullest advantage.

I've written extensively about this on my blog, www.1GoodReason.com

Now you see this is where Plurk is better than Twitter because you could actually show the cards in the Plurk stream. Oooh crap is that a Yellow or Red card violation talking about how Plurk is better than Twitter?

Excellent work.

Re: Ping.fm / Blog / New Rate Limits And Why

ckieff — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:17:16 -0000

I think that 3 per minute is not enough. I can easily see, assuming that Ping.fm can stay fast where a brief conversation between two people can exceed more than 3 per minute. And it's not at all unusual for me to be talking with several people at once. To carry grum's meme further:

@moe no I don't think it's good to hit Larry in the head with a frying pan.
@larry yes I do suggest you should run out of the room now.
@curly where are you?

Re: Economic Collapse and New Media

Ed,

I think that Social Media can certainly ride out the storm. But a big reason is that the market is tiny. Paul Beck of Ogilvy said yesterday at Omma Social that "Social Media is less than 0.5% of any strategic budget."
So yes, it's cheap. And can have a big impact in comparison to the dollars. Because we're an inconsequential blip on the big picture. And so too are kumquat futures likely to ride out this economy because they don't matter.
IMO,
Chris
