To me, that dog don’t hunt. There’s more to this, lots more, but we’re not being told what it is. Regardless, I’m sure in the Facebook TOS there’s a clause that this lady broke.

I caught up with Ileen Haddad aka @ileenieweenie on Twitter during blogathonatx on Saturday, August 26 2010. Blogathonatx, was in my opinion, a smash hit. Unfortunately, I was not able to partake in the beer consumption, but I did enjoy the company and the atmosphere at the place.
The reason I like this article, is that not only does the writer tell you what to do, he shows you samples of how to do it right and how not to do it. The main reason I dislike this post, is that you can’t really create viral content. Content goes viral, or it does not. You can do things to help content go viral, but you can’t just “create” viral content. Why do I say it like that? Because [...]
I was perusing CNNMoney when I came across this article: Facebook is suing start-up site Teachbook.com for using the word “book” in its name, according to court documents. The complaint, filed in a California district court last Wednesday, alleges that Teachbook is “rid[ing] on the coattails of the fame and enormous goodwill of the Facebook trademark,” I think I can see the argument on the part of the defense. It’ll be similar to the argument that the makers of “You’ve [...]
Yikes! Everyone on the list was, or had been given 3 days to get out of town or face execution. Parents who have kids on the list have started to send their kids out of town, in compliance with the terms. I wonder if people will protest against Facebook opening an office in their neighborhood since terrorists are using Facebook. I’m pretty sure that something like this is against the Facebook Terms Of Service. Amplify’d from www.aolnews.com (Aug. 24) — [...]
This is a really cool presentation put on by a dude named Paul Adams. The Real Life Social Network v2 View more documents from Paul Adams. It’s a bit long, so let me try to sum it up for you: Online friends are different than offline friends. Social networking is a means to an end, you need to know what the end is tho People have multiple independent groups of friends The average Facebook user has 130 friends, but only [...]
This is an interesting video by Scott Stratten from unmarketing talking about social media. I share his position about how the term “social media” is getting old. I also like the strategy that he outlines and how he used it to raise $12,000 in 5 hours for a charity. It’s definitely worth the time to listen to the presentation just to get that one strategy out of it. Let me know what you think about the presentation in the comments [...]
These are items that came into my Twitter feed that I found interesting. On Jay Baer’s blog, he talks about whether or not social media has gotten too big for its britches. Red Monk has a nice post about the commodification of journalism. Red Monk’s post neatly compliments a post on Marketing Pilgrim about how half of all bloggers consider themselves to be journalists. I know I wasn’t asked anything about that, were you? Last, but not least, Social Media [...]
I’m still not settled in with what I want to do with this site, and how I want to arrange the posts etc. But, in the interest of saying something actually useful to someone, I’ve decided to post these slides. They are from Andy Beal’s presentation at Pubcon Dallas 2010. In the slides he goes over how to track your social media profile, goes over the why and then tells us how. Enjoy! 5 Free Social Media Monitoring Tools You [...]
OK, so I missed yesterday’s self imposed deadline to post. I’m on a “post every day” diet for the month of November, so I may have to post twice later on this week to make up for the missed post, but that’s not important right now. Here’s the problem. I want to get more speaking gigs, but I don’t know where to start. I have had a modicum of success with just reaching out to people on Twitter and my [...]
