No LinkedIn BlackBerry App Launch for SXSW

It’s March 12, the first day of South by Southwest interactive when the social media digerati come together in Austin Texas and mobile sites and apps are launched or touched up with new features in order to take advantage of the opportunity.  But there is one social network who is bucking the trend and going [...]

An Open Letter to ÜberTwitter and Seesmic

Last week I wrote about the ÜberTwitter and Seesmic Twitter applications for the BlackBerry and noted while Seesmic’s integration with Ping.fm was a great leap forward, it was missing some convenient features that could make it difficult to stick with that app over ÜberTwitter. I haven’t come to a conclusion about that yet, but [...]

Nice Tips Foursquare

Forgot to mention this a couple weeks ago when the latest release of Foursquare for BlackBerry came out, but the application has added a tab in the top navigation for Tips.  The purpose of the screen is obvious enough, it’s a listing of tips for places near where you are and from each tip you [...]

Review: Seesmic For BlackBerry with Ping.fm Integration

Back in January Seesmic, the Twitter client developer, bought Ping.fm, the service for simultaneously updating multiple social networks.  At the time they boldly promised a BlackBerry application that merged the two services by the end of the month, but version 1.2.19, that was released at the end of January, had no Ping.fm functionality at all.  [...]

10 Trends In B2B Social Networking

Social media isn’t just for B2C anymore.  B2B social media spending is expected to increase 9.9% in 2010.  You may think that businesses are just made up of people so the same rules and tactics apply as for B2C, but as with just about everything else, social media gets a little different when you get [...]

Poll: Should I Change My Twitter Avatar?

The other day at SoxUp (a Tweetup at Fenway Park and book signing for Steve Garfield’s book Get Seen) someone who I’d never met before came up to me and said “You’re @TPapi? I was reading your stuff today. You’re the guy with the glasses.”
Yup, I’m the guy with the glasses. I feature them [...]

The Spam Threat Of Importing Your Tweetstream Into Facebook

The Twitter spamming spree last week drew my attention to another reason why linking your Twitter feed to Facebook is not a good idea. Plenty of other people have already written about how your Twitter followers and Facebook friends are two unique audiences and while their interests may overlap you should customize your status [...]

Is Your Twitter Customer Service Turning You Into A Helicopter Brand?

Last week I was listening to a webcast and the presenter talked about his experience when their webcast system went down.  He tweeted that he was having issues with the service and then within a few minutes a support person from the webcasting company DM’ed him on Twitter to help troubleshoot the issue.  Great customer [...]
