Twitter’s Demise
On my personal blog I made announcement that I am once again moving. This time it want be as a big of an adjustment so there shouldn’t be a long gap between post.
I read an article the other day about a “Student Twittering his way out of jail“. I have been hearing all the rave reviews about Twitter. I have had an account for a few months but never used it. Since I am going to be moving and I have a Twitter iPhone application setup now I will try it during the move. Check out my updates and follow me along my journey back to Alabama. Follow Chris on Twitter.
Pardon the actual video footage. I couldn’t find a good video to go along with the video. Taylor Hicks is from Alabama just like me. Enjoy!
Social Media is Marketing
Social media, or social bookmarking, has been a big fashion for quite sometime. But, What’s the hype?
As a search engine marketer I can tell you that social media is marketing. If you have ever been to sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, or Mixx you have noticed most of the content is geared towards selling something. Whether it be promoting the iPhone or a political candidate it is all a sales pitch. Original intention of these sites was an arena for information sharing. Marketing job boards are riddled with postings for marketers with blogging and social-media experience. Social media has become the new avenue of marketing. I have not seen a major university put Search Marketing in the course guide, I am sure it will eventually be an elective or maybe even a requirement.
