Big congrats. Found your site via The Vayner Media FB page. Made me think of one of my favorite sayings: The road labeled "The Extra Mile" has very little traffic on it. Once you go hard like this, you will find that you'll never want to turn back. Don't hesitate to be in touch. ~lb

Re: Move Over LNS, There's a New Social Networking Site in Town

Svetlana -- you rock. Thanks for the love.

To answer the intrigue surrounding 3121's moniker, it is actually the switchboard # you call when you want to call Congress. We figured the name made a lot of sense for those in the know and those about to know given 3121's focus on being a dynamic and social directory (which, btw, is pre-populated and then users can update their info as they need). So, now you know.

Here are those numbers "for the viewers at home."
202-225-3121
202-224-3121

PS: Leon, great to see you in the comment section, how's things?

Cheers ~LB (as a BYT fan and in my capacity as an official 3121 Community Manager)

CC -- you are THTH. As the daughter of another Mr. August ("Men of the Long Tom Grange" out in Junction City, OR circa 2003 / 2004 -- local schools were their charity) I can say this with authority: August is a great month, this is a great idea, I'm buying a calendar and I salute you!

Re: The TMI of Twitter – Boundaries to Tweet By

Leslie Bradshaw — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 22:03:14 -0000

Hillary—this is a great post. One of the things that stood out for me is that I am guilty of, well, tweeting about eating Hot Pockets (er, Lean Pockets, to be more precise):

http://gawker.com/5141477/the-twitterati-have-one-of-those-days

And while I was reluctant to share so much of myself (starting first with social networks, then blogging, then Twitter), I have found it to ultimately lead to deeper and more meaningful relationships with my friends, colleagues and “online friends” (yes, I said it—I have friends that I only know online, but hope to and often times do meet them “IRL”—wow, more webspeak… what have I become?)

At any rate, would love to continue the conversation, maybe grab coffee next week @NMSosphere?

Re: Retweeting on Twitter: Thoughts on the Approach to the “RT”

Leslie Bradshaw — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:23:20 -0000

Alex - thanks again for delving deeper on this. I am not only appreciative for going through the back and forth on this, but even more so, having an even better RT strategy going forward. I tend to like to have the social capital exchange that I see when I put the @reply in the first position for folks not watching their @replies beyond the button on their Twitter profiles, but then again, if we working as a team @NMSosphere to get something out, I would hate to lose any eyeballs not having that reciprocal follow thing, so the RT first makes total sense.

Also, a few solutions I have found personally for missing the @replies:

1) Install the Power Twitter plugin on Firefox

2) Subscribe to http://www.twply.com/ (it scared me at first to share my password, but it has been super useful and no abuses to date)

Thanks again and keep rocking.

Re: Twitter Giving Insight to Oscar Night?

Leslie Bradshaw — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 10:48:21 -0000

Nicole -- you raise some great questions. It is interesting to look at Twitter as a bell weather, as well as a communications device that allows people to give their own red-carpet-punditry. It seems, in some ways, that the full-contact and intimate nature of social technologies like Twitter are in fact emblematic of a larger cultural shift: more sharing, more public... dissolution of the private. Talking to folks in their 40s, 50s and 60s I've found that while some are interested and even participating in social media (if their childeren and/or jobs necessitate it), a greater percentage can't believe how "out there" people choose to be on platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

Again, thanks for looking below the surface and for linking to our report -- I am sending your post around to the New Media Strategies team as we speak :-)

All the best ~ L.

CC --

This is a fabulous idea. Let me know if there is anything I can do (including help represent the DC area on camera). I love and trust your work -- as you know, your pic of me back in 2007 remains a favorite http://www.flickr.com/photo....

Go get 'em!

Re: Walking the Talk: Some Agencies and Vendors Demonstrate Social Media Prowess

Leslie Bradshaw — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:54:12 -0000

Jeremiah -- thanks for tipping me off to Cece's post.

Echoing many here on your blog and on Cece's, I am wondering how one could conceive of -- let alone execute -- a successful "social media strategy" without having actually ever done it personally. Authenticity matters in this field in ways that become immediately apparent -- either you are out there, or you are not.

On a personal note, my team and I over at New Media Strategies have built some of the most interesting and community-serving campaigns and, more importantly, conversations for clients because we are made up of real-deal diggers, Wikipedians, Twitters, bloggers (some Weblog nominees and credentialed political bloggers during the Election, at that), etc.

C-SPAN is one of many great examples of this that I love to plug when I get the chance: http://is.gd/k8tC

Thanks again,
Leslie (@Leslieann44)

PS: WOMMA is slated to host a webinar on 2/25 w/ Molly Flatt, 1000heads that seems to also be addressing this: "When it comes to Social Media, never have so many, talked so much, knowing so little."

Kevin, many thanks for the link love! Look for New Media Strategies' site to continue to experiment and iterate :)

Re: Communicate More, Not Less

Leslie Bradshaw — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:12:38 -0000

Liz - well said.

The points you make are spot-on not only when it comes to communicating through the media and/or directly with the public offline, but also (and especially) in the case for how you are communicating online (where you are going, what you are saying, what tools/platforms you are using, etc.).

Often as news reports, crises and scandals break, people immediately begin (1) going to Google [and, likely Wikipedia] and (2) if they are interested in and opinionated about the issue, they in fact start arm-chair opining on their blogs and with friends over things like Twitter.

As much as that last sentence seems like a duh-statement to many of us who make a living through online communications, I am still surprised that many top communicators here in DC (and I would imagine, beyond the Beltway, too) still haven’t made the proper investment to understand and engage online communities and social technologies.

Keep up the good work <img src="http://nms.com/images/smile..." width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;"/>

Incredibly impressive work on Nick's part and great of TechCrunch to take notice. As a friend and colleague of his, it has been great to watch him cover the industry and deliver this level of innovation (which often takes entire teams and companies to do). Rock on.

Re: Our First Snow in NYC

Leslie Bradshaw — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 23:29:27 -0000

Yay! We had snow down here in DC as well today. How is it winter already? I swear, since C-SPAN this summer, it has all been a blurrrrr.

Hope all is well and sending you and Mrs. ThePete lots of warm wishes this month and into '09.

Re: 10 reasons why Twitter Direct Messages suck (and so do Facebook’s)

Leslie Bradshaw — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 09:58:07 -0000

It seems almost too obvious to say this, but like your use of Facebook Mr. Scoble, you are certainly the uber user who bumps up against constraints that the rest of us may never encounter. That being said, I think it is admirable on some level that you challenge the limits to the point of even breaking the system. Not only that, but you also offer helpful solutions. Rock on.

In terms of my use of DMs, I talk to a lot of bloggers and friends this way and find it to be a good way to get in touch with folks (1) quickly and/or (2) for whom I do not have an email address.

I also appreciate you posting about this so my feelings are no longer hurt that you have never returned any DMs I have sent :P Saw you were in DC a few weeks back and I suggested some coffee or sumthin. Now I know, DM is not the way to go with you! ~ L.

Re: Tropicana tracks the ‘Orange Election’ & JEES3 designs the crap out of it. Nice work kids!

Leslie Bradshaw — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:48:25 -0000

David ~ Thanks so much for the shouts! I came across your site while doing work for Tropicana via New Media Strategies (we do a lot of the digital PR for Tropicana/PepsiCo). Glad to be able to bring some sanity to all the Twitter posts flying by in the next few days and always enjoy working with the JESS3 team on projects like this.

Really like your work as well ~ especially your header.

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions on how it works, etc.

All the best,
Leslie
