Re: How iPhone shapes social media

Great post Tip. Good timing too - will be interested to see how these stats have changed in 12 months when the new iPhone is released and everyone has had the chance to get out of their current contract and onto an iPhone have done so.

Re: 10 Twitter strategies for Australian brands

nathanbush — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:46:48 -0000

Damn Disqus deleted my last comment... It's a really good chart Tip - well done! When expanded, it would be really valuable for demonstarting to clients the power of Twitter, rather than just explaining what it is. I regularly feel like an idiot when I'm explaining what Twitter is and how it is relationship based not broadcast based. Using examples such as these will help brand managers see the value and I'm sure one fo the ten executions will resonate.

I was thinking that it could almost be presented as a pyrmaid with the top right corner (two way talking) being the pinnacle and the goal and the bottom left (one way listening) being the base and foundation. What do you think?

Re: Connecting with your audience through social networks. Have you already missed the boat?

Fair point Zoe. I'm only in the early phases of trying out TweetDeck and SocialThing so I don't have the 'how' yet. Matt did you have any suggestions here? Maybe it's a good one for a follow up on execution in a few months.

Good work on keeping this misuse of funds in the spotlight. Unfortunately no response yet. Will keep trying and let you know if we get anything from Sen Conroy.

Thanks Kevin - seems to be a lot of these stories coming in from this post. Seems many have established or planned networks for a fraction of the cost. Hopefully we get some answers from Senator Conroy.

Just sent off a letter to Senator Conroy asking for some clarification on the allocation of money for this project. http://anotheradvertisingwa...

oh come on... just a little bite?? I'm actually blaming that on Matt. It was him. Go get him!!

There's a reason for that. I'm not going into details for fear of crucifiction from both blondes and brunettes which would only leave the redheads to save me (and I haven't been so kind to them in past lives)

Couldn't have said it better.

Great point Daniel. As you can see above - there are a number of questions to be answered both from myself and commentors. Will chase up in the next week...

Really? $735 per member is reasonable? But good point that this is assuming they get to 20,000 members as well. I just have an issue with what $735 per patient could go towards in hospital resources.

Re: A Way To Increase Legal Music Purchases

Absolutely agree mate - I loved Nick's post and his take on the industry

Re: A Way To Increase Legal Music Purchases

nathanbush — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 06:58:44 -0000

Exactly Graham - it's not that the industry is unprofitable, but the $ has to come from a different way. And consumers aren't backlashing against music per se (ticket sales are up) but against the distribution model. They spoke up and demonstrated that they weren't happy with place, time, price - no labels listened and they got themselves to this point.

Good to know, thanks McLovin (if that is your real name.... is it??)

Re: Foxtel's Online Consumer Failings

nathanbush — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:52:03 -0000

I agree- when you do get someone on the phone they are very helpful. I suspect that it's not skills in customer management they lack but online interaction knowledge and implementation which is either not valued as highly as it should be or largely ignored.

Yep - you're Optus example is a good demonstration as well.

Good idea. Or easier still, they may use it as a dating tool in which case you can just find a rich husband and become a lady of leisure!

I did - call it procrastination from writing anything serious. And I'm sure you follow them for their 'tweets' you dirty, dirty man.

Ha! On my RSS Feeder there was an ad directly below this post which said "I'm rich. You're Not. I Cracked THe Code To Making Money. See How I Make $3 Million Per Year". FAIL.

Personal experience?

nathanbush — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 19:16:29 -0000

I did exactly the same thing. Now my only worry is making sure that I stay awake long enough to enter all the data into my bedpost diary.
