What’d I Miss? Top Findings from 12-29 – 01-04

in wrap-up

  1. I’ve been enjoying several of the latest posts over at the Online Community Strategist blog by Angela Connor. Her posts Your Tombstone in 140 Characters or Less and Are we taking the 140 character limit to the extreme have caused me to really think about the impact of microblogging on how we communicate. Rather than focusing on the specific tool (twitter), Angela’s posts are looking at what they represent to society.
  2. Over at Mobile Marketing Profits, Kim Dushinski posted an informative piece as to what there is No Such Thing as Free SMS Text Messaging. She explains why sending via SMTP ( sending to xxxxxxxxxx@txt.att.net) is not a smart approach for your business.
  3. Late Friday David Griner over at The Social Path posted a wonderful wrap-up post on 10 Ways That Social Media Improved Lives in 2008. As social media is increasingly seen as a smart strategy for business, it’s wonderful to recognize how it has also been used for good. I’m also really excited about this post as many of my (non-profit) clients are not yet completely sold on social media, and this post is a great resource for them to recognize its potential.
  4. And of course the biggest news in social media this weekend was the phishing scam I wrote about earlier. Like everyone else, I’m tired of this subject now, so I’ll say no more.

Well, it sure is an honor to be on your list, Andrea. I’ve enjoyed having you as a new reader and communicating with you in the comments and through twitter DM’s. Thanks for the heads-up on the others. I am always on the lookout for smart people to follow and new blogs to read.
