When Worlds Collide

Well, it’s finally here. Twitter and LinkedIn have decided to combine forces. This is pretty significant, and I know that it’ll make it easier to share job opportunities and other more networking opportunities that are more professional in nature. I won’t bore you with all of the details, but you can now update your LinkedIn status via Twitter, and your Twitter status from LinkedIn. If you’d like to see how to go about it, check out the post on the LinkedIn blog . One of the features I like best is how you can select which updates you want posted to LinkedIn – everything or just those posts tagged with #in. In December of 2008, I predicted that Twitter would attain legitimacy in 2009. Aside from it being used by pretty much every major media outlet, not to mention a good number of celebrities, I think we’re there. The fact that a site as grounded …

The spam and other unsolicited DMs I’ve been getting on Twitter have finally gotten to me. And I’m going to be taking action. A Bit of Background You know the kind of direct messages I’m talking about, all with spammy links in them: “Is this you on here?” “I just gave you a High Five! Check it out” “Hey, I got some free ringtones from here” “Hey, can you take this quiz thingy?” “I found out my IQ. You should too.” “I lost a bunch of weight doing this.” And many, many more. Lots of the direct messages I get are of the automated sort when people first start following me. Having been someone who used to do that – mainly to let people know how I preferred to communicate – I can understand the need to do that. But what I’ve been seeing lately is out of control. It’s gotten to the point where these disruptive DMs…

I’m sure you’ve seen your fair share of social media predictions for 2010 by now. And while my posting is a little late, I hope I’m note treading too fine a line by waiting until 2010 hits before I make my predictions. Before I get into what I think will be worth watching this year, let’s see how well I fared with the results from the predictions I made for 2009 . Those included: Twitter will continue to achieve legitimacy . Check. There’s no question that Twitter became mainstream in 2009. I won’t rehash all of the examples, but suffice it to say that when your local news outlets are suggesting you follow them on Twitter, it’s mainstream. Online video will come into its own . Check. YouTube has started to show some signs of revenue generation, and Hulu was advertised during the Super Bowl. Video became more and more important in 2009. Customers insist on custoMEr service . Check. More interaction on Facebook pages, Twitter, Get Satisfaction and similar sites has customers looking…

Twitter Marketing: Why You Don’t Need to Mass Follow Users

A few days ago Twitter announced on their status blog that all Twitter users are only allowed to follow a maximum of 1000 people a day. This rule was designed to cut down on ‘follow spam’ , the act of following many Twitter users in order to get them to follow you back or click on your links. When combined with the already existing limit based on follow ratios , this means that it will be more difficult for marketers or self-promoters to rapidly increase their Twitter follower count by following many people. The old days of following thousands of users a day to get thousands of followers back are gone. That’s not to say the strategy of mass following users to increase your Twitter followers doesn’t work anymore. It does. Why? Because many people use tools to auto-follow anyone who follows them. And there are new users who think its only polite to reciprocate. So you can easily get tens of thousands of followers from this strategy …
