April 7, 2009

I’ve been followed by the same person > 6 times in the past month, which is a tell-tale sign that they are using some sort of software to increase their follower count. (I’m not going to go into details; if interested in this, you should be able to find it easily enough.)
The bigger question I’d [...]

TwitClicks – Analytics for Twitter

January 29, 2009

Read on Twitter (surprised? I hope not) about a new tool called TwitClicks and decided to take a look. The goal is tracking of a short URL, but it goes beyond the usual tracking that is currently available.
I’m doing a little “Rate Superbowl Ads via Twitter” thing this Sunday, so I decided to use one [...]

Superbowl Commercials and Twitter

January 29, 2009

UPDATE: Looks like there’s a much larger Superbowl ad initiative then this one, so I think (for the common good) we should all send our ad ratings/tweets here. Some big names are behind this (@briansolis, @louisgray, @Jesse, @jowyang, @chrisheuer, and @guykawasaki), and I think it makes sense to focus on one.

This is the first time I’ve seen it. It’s for a Nashville datacenter, that provides hosting and co-location to SMB’s. Not sold on the ad copy, but am interested in CTR. Anyone tried this?

September 24, 2008

The Chicago Tribune has been using Twitter for quite awhile with their online persona Colonel Tribune. Since the beginning, their Twitter feed has had a personality, which is really the hardest part for a company to pull off online.
The Trib, and specifically the Colonel have excelled in it, and deserve recognition. In addition, the proof [...]

Be a Good Conference Speaker; Twitter is Judging

April 22, 2008

I’m not attending SMX Social in Long Beach, California, but a lot of my friends on Twitter are, so I get all the scoop/opinions in real time.
It seems like Rand Fishkin, known for being a strong speaker (I thought he was the few times I’ve seen him speak), seems to really have stubbed his toe [...]
