Facebook has brought out a brilliant new addition to status updates that was desperately needed. Prepare for your news feed to be flooded with emoticons and more than likely irrelevant adjectives.
Getting More Facebook Fans is NOT the Key to Social Success
May 17, 2013 by 1 Comment
I’m not a broken record, at least I’m not trying to be. It seems that I’ve covered this topic from different angles a lot lately, but it’s simply that important to understand. In business in general and in automotive marketing in particular, getting more Facebook fans is a very low priority compared to reaching more people.

Blogging is an easy way to express your views and reach out to the world. People usually connect with blogs and their content as they do not preach.

I have always wondered what it would be like to be immersed in a virtual world. The possibilities for the world’s design, its purpose, and even the way an individual presents themselves are endless. I dare say that many people would jump at a chance to dive into an immersive virtual world. Those looking for escape, entertainment, and even a casual social encounter would find a virtual space inviting. Could Oculus Rift be a step in that direction?
Social Media is More than a Branding Tool
May 11, 2013 by 3 Comments
Branding is important. It’s something that most businesses want but few do well enough considering the tools that we all have at our disposal through the internet in general and social media in particular.

Branding should be a secondary benefit, a side-effect of a proper promotional strategy.

I was moderating a small panel at a conference about two and a half years ago that focused on Facebook fans.

Local businesses should focus solely on getting local fans, period. To get a broad reach of fans outside of the market area as a local business can do more harm than good.
