Great piece John. Inspired by you I thought of compiling my experience of using an Apple Watch in a country where it hasn't launched yet https://www.travhq.com/indu.... Hope you find it interesting :)

Re: How to Improve Your Google+ Marketing

Daksh — Tue, 05 May 2015 13:27:12 -0000

@ben fisher I feel lot of businesses adopt Google+ due to its affinity with search/search engine results. Lot of brands, have still not been able to nail whether google+ posts automatically appear in search results? Previously the posts were prominently displayed on the right side of search results. However, the display of posts is very subjective now and sometimes they don't appear at all.

The other thing several brands usually ask is how to grow their followers? on Google+ This usually becomes a burning need when they see their competition which is doing much better.

Great post Jim! I think you've nailed most of them correctly. Perhaps, I would add that most brands and agencies should aim to build sustainable long-term relationships with bloggers and not just look at these as one-off situational engagement.

As someone who runs an interactive digital agency, we certainly can relate with big time :) Design is very subjective, usually everybody feels like having some say on what looks good.

Brilliantly captured Geoff. Just one quick question: You've talked about a remote flash. How does one use remote flash? Does this require an external hardware.

Interesting analysis Rakesh. Although from a critics' perspective, it would be great if you could highlight or talk about a comparison of customer sentiments taking a fixed number of sample comments as a snapshot.

Also it would be good to know the split of customers v/s contest participants through a sample set. I know none of the supporting tools would talk about it, so it would be more of a manual analysis on a sample set.

And the worst is when clients still don't get the difference b/w SEO and Social Media and their mails subject says "We want to do SEO and Social Media :)"

Nice one Aditya!

Re: The Android Nexus 7 Tablet (and Jelly Bean) Explained

Daksh — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 11:52:22 -0000

I think Nexus 7 would be a game-changer in the tablet market space. While iPad's market won't be threatened due to different feature specs, Nexus 7 would pose a strong threat to the likes of everyone else running.

Since Google is behind it, consumer trust is going to be huge which would make the purchase process a breeze.

Re: Twitter’s new in-line conversation view is long overdue

Daksh — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 01:08:19 -0000

The in-line conversation view is brilliant!

At the same-time, what is interesting is that you don't have the Activity stream which was released by twitter a couple of months ago. (More here: http://mashable.com/2011/08...

Seems like they are rolling out different updates in user sets.

Interesting post Karthik! Beyond the specific cases of Mast Kalandar and Hippo/Aliva, I have a general comment:

You ask, if brands can repeat these actions for all customers? Certainly they cannot make these sweet gestures to each and every customer. They have a selection criterion which is what is a bit of concern. Do you think something like this would have happened if the tweeter had 20 odd followers? Do you think a brand would have been influenced by his tweet then?

On the contrary, what potentially worries a brand is the network impact of a tweet when made by someone with over 1000 odd followers. This is where brands start thinking!

Re: 7 Ideas for Advanced Social Media Education

Hi Mark,

You've touched upon an interesting thought with your post. While I agree with all the comments over here including Billy's idea of expressing emotion, I think it would be good to have a course on "Conceptualizing Ideas for Social Media Campaigns".

I feel that day-in and day-out we hear about different success stories from various verticals in Social Media. The issue is that with so much happening in the industry, we are not sure to take the ideal route of planning a new campaign and thinking about exciting ideas. A basic course which develops a sort of framework for executing viral campaigns would be helpful.

Nice post once again!

Re: Stop Unethical Social Media Marketing Activity

Daksh — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:09:30 -0000

Good observation Saurav !

Ever since the concept of marketing existed there was this breed of folks who were knowingly/unknowingly doing bunch of things which were classified as 'unethical'. Just like you cannot kill piracy, you cannot talk away 'spam' from the social media domain. There will be a group which will constantly indulge in this. This is why in social-forums you have moderators who keep an eye on link-baits etc.

Adding to your original tally:

1. PPC - Bidding for keywords which belongs to brand-name. When caught this can be very embarrassing :)
2. SEO - Mis-leading meta-tags, keywords to rank high in search-engine results (Done by small SEO agencies who promise to get you on Google rank 1 for Rs. 5k)

The question about what is deemed unethical and what is ethical has been raised a numerous times.

1. As an instance if you have got coverage in media, and you are tweeting its link multiple times day just to promote yourself, what would you classify that as?

2. How about recording the information of your site visitors through advanced analytic tools. Without their information, you are capturing key details about them. Isn't that unethical?

3. On several occasions, PR professionals are bullied. Why?

Personally, if you ask me you if you're doing some serious business and have to sustain yourself, marketing would happen. It is just that when you cross that borderline and do things out of exaggeration, that is where the community starts questioning you.
