Re: Social Network Privacy: Protecting Your Company’s Information

techwinter — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:15:57 -0000

Hey Rob this is a great post. Lots of great information and your tips are well thought out. It was a pleasure to read.

FYI though I totally don't think No 3. will fly with employees and lastly it to me would feel untrustworthy if an employer asked me to keep my profile quiet.

Something amusing to consider, if everyone were asked to commit to point No. 3, what would the impact be on the social web? What would be the value of Twitter then? Also you could possibly spot the unemployed people in your network because they would be the only ones allowed (no corporate oversight) to post/tweet publicly.

Hehehe. George Orwell - 1984 anyone?

Typical of 'them' really. I am with you guys on this issue.

Re: Marketing Accountability: Are You Trying to Measure Abstract Objectives?

techwinter — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:59:10 -0000

I think one of the big problems is marketers are brought in after everything else is done and biz dev says 'here you go, now make people love it'. This weakens a marketers understanding of said product and also devalues their knowledge of that organisations customers.

Second point and probably more relevant to your comment Lewis and that is Marketers don't set goals because their peers don't perceive goals the same way as we (marketers) do.

For example if I say to my production manager I need 12% more productivity out of his plants he can say yes it will be done, no it can't or yes but here is how much. Its a goal with a highly likelihood of a getting a predictable outcome.

Now with marketing you can say I want to increase customer purchase cycle by 10% (as Jacob points out) but I can't promise that this goal is very likely to occur like the production manager can. This means when i don't succeed and we as marketers do fail often, then our neck is on the line. No one has a clue that the failure was probable.

Cheers

I like that thought. Now that they have engineered and designed the basics e.g. concept, direction and platform, one should expect them to make a strong commitment to ensure the product if not broadly accessible today is at committed to occur in the near term. Good spot Allen!

Very very helpful. Votes plus commentary is good value for us. We can take that away and consider your arguments rather than just the letter chosen. Thanks!

Joshua wow! That was a huge response. Although I am not an expert and can't contest any of the really great feedback you offered (for free) and it was very kind of you by the way.

Happy to talk further via email or Skype but this is going to be my first and last comment on the issue since this is not what the post is about and it would be impolite of us to hijack the conversation. Hopefully you agree.

Will ping you an email shortly so you can reach me if you like. PS. My skype name is RogerKondrat

Cheers

I really can't say I agree with your assessment, all the evidence you put forward leads me to believe TV is still king and a great place to put my Ad money.

Re: Special Report: TerminateTheRate.org

techwinter — Wed, 27 May 2009 12:57:30 -0000

@Jonathon you are not comparing apples to oranges. 3 pays far more per user because they are the smallest provider so they charge more for their termination to make up that shortfall. This in fact a further reason why termination rates are competition distorting and the goal should be complete elimination.

@RMP. Thanks guys for doing this and its awesome to see that you all stayed together after the sad changes that occurred over at MIR. Makes me wish I was back in the UK so I could guest a video.

Best of luck.

Re: Can traditional marketing and social media marketing co-exist?

techwinter — Tue, 26 May 2009 14:56:17 -0000

Hi Stuart

Thanks for dropping by our little abode and for your supportive comments. Really think 'saving' money shouldn't be the message we as social media experts put out there. Social Media isn't cheap, it does however provide very good value for your $ and that should be the message we (all soc med advocates) communicate IMO.

In these economically rocky times it wise for businesses to re-evaluate 'bang for their buck' and look to social media as a wise long term value generating strategy.

Re: Introducing Reportage for iPhone

techwinter — Sun, 24 May 2009 23:11:41 -0000

Sounds cool. But as a Symbian lover (Nokia S60 actually) let me tell you a little bit about it, so when the day comes to decide you may have a few extra reasons.

Symbian controls over 60% of the world market in Smartphones. They are launching their App store in the next 30 days and it will include 20,000 apps at launch. The apps for Twitter on Symbian phones are pretty poor and with few options. Its my opinion you would find the market bigger and easier to compete over the dozens of Twitter apps on iPhone.
