Social Media Links
Going crazy with client work this week, but here are some interesting social media stories that I came across this weekend.
Last week I blogged about the Obama/MySpace issue. Well this story has really taken off, with a lot of bloggers voicing their opinions. Four good articles that I read were SMO Blog, Tech President, a MySpace page devoted to this topic and also the Obama campaign. Overall I would say that the blogospere is overwhelminging negative about how the campaign handled this.
DM News has an article titled “Customer reviews make shopping online intimate”. Adding user-generated reviews of your products to your web site results in more sales, increased customer satisfaction and loyalty. Nice to see that the DM News is getting onboard with social media optimization.
Interesting article on Ecommerce Times titled “The Rewards and Risks of Video Resumes“. The article talks about how employers typically accept electronic versions of traditional resumes these days while incorporating their own research of applicants’ social-networking personal profiles. And how now applicants are enhancing their resume with video clips.
Lastly, Adage has an good article about who will be the next MySpace or YouTube (Next Digital Darling Will Bear No Likeness to MySpace, YouTube).
