Re: Possibly the weirdest ad I’ve seen in a while

blogtillyoudrop — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:52:03 -0000

That's funny, because in my books the ad makes Dixons sound like some kind an awful place you really want to go to (the stores are awful!) / purchase a TV from (I hate their website).

Sp yeah the colours are clever but it really doesn't make me want to buy anything from them - must be a snob! ha

That's exactly what they are saying! Everyone does it but just doesn't admit it. This is a very smart series of ads, covered in Creative Review, Marketing mag, loads of design, art and advertising blogs and a host of others for being a bold client open to change. M&C Saatchi did these ads, brilliantly planned and written. You know who they are talking about straight away because of the famous brand colours. Take the excellent and knowledgable customer service from a higher end retailer and then just go practically next door in some cases and buy the same product significantly cheaper. You expect not to have the level of service at a retailer that is more mass market, so they are playing on that. I completely get it.

Re: Simple Blogging Faceoff: Tumblr vs. Posterous

litmanlive — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 04:27:36 -0000

I voted Posterous because it's just so easy to use. I've posted more to my Posterous (http://litmanlive.posterous.com) profile in a day than I have to my Wordpress blog (http://litmanlive.com) in a month. The bookmarklet makes it super easy to share other peoples content (always crediting the source) and I find that I use Posterous as a quick way of getting ideas down and then I flesh them out further with my Wordpress blog should they be of sufficient interest.

Importing your Tumblr in to Posterous makes it a no brainer.

Re: Amazing Job: Social Media Internship at Ogilvy

Meritocracy - That's brilliant and it's something I firmly believe in. Will forward this on to a few friends who I think fit the bill. A great opportunity and am sure an experience like no other.

What a fascinating job description and am already drafting a blog post.. The requirements and bonus points are of particular interest - could this be the sign of things to come where the old analogy of it's not what you know, it's who you know could really stand you in good stead - it would seem so?

Will watch this space with interest and would be great for you to do a follow up post on the person you hired and a mini profile on them, why they fit the bill etc. Some great learnings can be had.

Re: Loving Twe2

Michael Litman — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:11:39 -0000

I'd love to agree Lolly but after your recommendation I tried it out and set it up just for direct messages. It was great! Then Twe2 stopped working a while back and when it did work, the texts were often delayed by a couple of hours. Had high hopes for this too after you mentioned it initially.

Re: There Is No Authority In Social Media

chrisbaskind — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 23:10:34 -0000

I certainly agree with the premise of your article. There are two kinds of people pushing the idea of social media authority: those most likely to benefit from the various metrics being bandied about, and social media shills who need numbers to distort.

Re: There Is No Authority In Social Media

litmanlive — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 22:30:44 -0000

Chris,

Brilliant article. Definitely agree with you that online - there is no definite authority and follower numbers doesn't automatically mean you're an authority figure either.

Interested in your thoughts on the following article.

Re: What unique & meaningful value have you gotten out of Twitter?

litmanlive — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 12:28:54 -0000

What unique and meaningful value have I gotten out of Twitter? I got the job I'm starting at on Jan 5th through Twitter!

This is not trying to be overly dramatic here but I wouldn't be lying if I said that Twitter has been pretty life changing for me. Why? I got the job at a top PR agency in London, UK, all through Twitter.

With Twitter, you've already got an idea of the individual, through what they tweet and how they act with others. I had incidentally exchanged a few tweets with my soon to be manager @PBizzle previously but I wasn't at that time aware of his position or that he'd be recruiting for a suitable position a few months down the line. He sent me a tweet saying he was recruiting and whether I wanted to go for a beer and a chat and the rest as they say is history. Therein lies the power of Twitter.

Re: Why 2009 Is Going To Be YOUR Year | danny brown

Michael Litman — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 09:23:31 -0000

It's like we're reading each others minds quite regularly Danny! I was thinking that 2009 is going to be a defining year. It's going to be incredible. Why? Because with positivity, a smile and the right people around you, anything is achievable!

In 2009, I want to unearth some unknown gems on the blogosphere instead of hearing about the same A-listers or 'rockstars' all the time who now seem to have put their foot on the brakes a bit in terms of genuinely offering value and conversation.

I can't thank you enough in particular for when you offered me your guidance and wisdom when I was at a time of questioning myself, going for my dream job as a Soc Med Strategist.. and the best news was that I got it! So it's true that with the right people around you, go for your goals and aim high!

Wishing you the best 2009 and already looking forward to your review of the year this time next year!

Hey Lolly,

Thanks for the taster. I've got a copy on the way too from Stephane so I'm now looking forward to reading it even more, after your review, sounds great!

Re: "Authority" and Why Twitter is the Next Google

litmanlive — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:38:06 -0000

Drew,

Interesting article. It's a fascinating area for research, authority is a hugely subjective matter. One person's authority is another's minority.

I'd be interested to get your thoughts on the following blog post - and your readers too! All the best. M

Re: 10 Bloggers You Should Follow on Twitter

Michael Litman — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:06:38 -0000

I agree with the comment above from Chris Lockwood in so far that most of the names mentioned in your list are well established bloggers and who you could say the large majority are social media 'rockstars'. How about a few lesser known names from the blogosphere looking to get recognised?

I'd like to also draw your attention to the Twitter authority debate going on here - Interested to hear your thoughts -
