Season’s Greetings
Every year I spend way to much time on a Halloween mix. The process normally starts with a single song that I may have heard in June and can’t get out of my head. The rest flow from that. Last year it was the Donovan song “Barabajagal.” Mixes tend to be more of a soundtrack rather than a grouping of songs with “Witch” in the title. This mix is one large mp3 file. Click here and a new window will open up. Click and hold option on a mac to download the file. Next week I’ll post this years mix. Cheers. db

Another note from my little 140 Characters Conference [twitter] notebook. Can’t remember who said this but it was important enough for me to write in down and then take a photo of it. Why? Well for a business, unless your “tweets” are from a real person that has real passion, your “twitter campaign” will certainly go unnoticed. If your biz is going to be on twitter find someone who’s passionate about it to “tweet” about it. This person, or Rock Star, doesn’t need to be in the marketing dept. or even an employee - but they do need to be authentic and passionate about your brand.
In my next post I’ll list a few people tweeting for companies (big & small) that are doing it right. (#140conf)

Heard over 60 speakers in 2 days last week at the 140 Characters Conference in NYC. Great insight on Social Media and Twitter. But, for me, this is the biggest take away from the show—2 words: “Thank You” This is what your parents told you to do and it’s how we show people on the other end of the twitter conversation that we care. @lizstrauss gets it. db

How “not” to promote your brand on twitter.

How “not” to promote your brand on twitter.

The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug; it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure; it’s a little like making love, the physical act of love.

Twitter at the Beach? Not quite.

Don’t think it’s here yet. Myrtle Beach social media experts please prove me wrong. If the Market Commons First Birthday Bash is any indication of the twitter temp here, twitter is still a featherless little chick. waiting for mom’s waffle fries.

The event was a big success with thousands in attendance but search with Summize (the twitter search tool) and you’ll see only a few “tweets” before, during, and after the event. Same with Flickr. (and same with the Pelican’s game last night)

The event was certainly twitter-worthy—many balloon animals were made, new foods consumed, and friend pics with beers in-hand—lots to tweet about for sure.

Don’t get me wrong, twitter can be a killer app for businesses that have “real” people tweeting interesting stuff - but I’ve only found a few here that seem to be doing it right. Again, is there anyone out there, a real person at a business or organization at the beach, someone who’s making the most of twitter? Tell me about them. 

Here are a few locals I’ve been following:

Last week Pinkerton South and our local adclub teamed up to present the latest technologies in Social Media for local Non-Profits. 

This video covers twitter. The program also included a panel discussion, visual demonstrations, Q&As, and New Media roundtable discussions.
