Today we will see Wikipedia, joined by a host of other websites including search giant Google, ‘blackout’ or protest against SOPA, the anti-priacy bill that is currently going through the US legislative system.

The aim of the exercise is to highlight how the bill will hinder consumers online.

Interestingly though, Twitter will not be taking part in the initiative. In an online conversation with Alex Howard of O’Reilly Media’s group blog, Radar, Dick Costolo, Twitter CEO stated:

Google Search + Your World

It’s hard to believe we’re already ticking in another calendar year. So, as usual, I got to thinking about the shifts I think companies need to make in their social media activities in this year.

These aren’t necessarily trends that are already happening (although I’d like to say they are), but they’re certainly where my head is at and hopefully where others are, too.

Here are six shifts I hope to see in social media use by business in 2012.

For the last year, I have tried to engage with the small circle of social CRM influencers.  I have followed many of them on Twitter; retweeted their good content, linked to them from my blog posts and tried to engage with them on a variety of different levels.  Not to debate but to learn.  I am trying to figure out what it is they know that I don’t know. Is there some secret formula to social CRM that’s hidden in their brains that they only share with each other, like the Illuminati?

Perhaps I am not taken very s…

Anyone who predicted December to be a quieter month due to the winding down period before the holidays couldn’t have been more mistaken. After much anticipation and speculation, this month saw major changes rolled out across the four biggest social networking platforms: Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and YouTube. Hopefully this end-of-year timing will give users and developers some time to adjust before all launching headfirst into continuing our exciting work in the New Year.

Kred is the latest tool designed to measure your Twitter influence, built by the good folks at Peoplebrowsr.

The Good Stuff

In the version I’ve had a play with, there are several sections choc-full of data to play with.
Overview: This is your dashboard that gives you the headline, ie, your score and recent activity; who you’ve retweeted, conversations you’ve had, who has mentioned you etc.

Activity: This is where it starts to get very cool. One of the best things about…

“Be true to your work and your work will be true to you,” Edelman Digital strategist David Armano tweeted.

In a December 19 Twitter conversation with Helen Tobin, a public relations student from the University of Southern California, David shared the motto of his alma mater, Pratt Institute, as the best career advice he ever received. He also answered Helen’s questions about maintaining online privacy, the impact of Klout scores, job searching in a challenging market, and the future of social media and digital integration.

Helen won the…

This Sunday, NBA fans will rejoice as the League tips-off a full slate of holiday games to mark the start of a lockout-shortened 2011-12 season, marking the first time since the 1998-99 campaign the NBA is tipping-off late due to a work stoppage.

When comparing the differences between the 1998 NBA lockout and the recent 2011 shutdown, it’s common to see 204 versus 172, as in the number of days each lockout lasted. Or 50 versus 66, comparing the number of regular season games for the respective seasons after the lockouts ended.

But the one number that may truly define the…

If you Google the phrase “social business” you’ll get a variety of results returned. One of the first and perhaps oldest is a Wikipedia entry, which describes “social business” as “a non-loss, non-dividend company designed to address a social objective within the highly regulated marketplace of today.”

The Wikipedia entry states the following: This article is about a business with a social objective. For organization designed around social tools, social media, and social networks, see Social media. The number one position (at least on my search) serves up a web …

Last week, Twitter announced a significant interface redesign. The redesign aims to help users connect further with their followers by providing more interaction activity and encourages users to discover news and similar users.

Twitter will be rolling out this redesign over the next few months, but it is currently available on the recently updated versions of mobile.twitter.com, iOS and Android systems. Additionally, TweetDeck (which w…
