I'm in a rush today so here's a copy/paste from his email :)<br /><br />61M U.S. users on facebook and growing.<br /><br />Also an interesting article on CNET today about how news about how the Swine Flu was mapped out/covered via Facebook.<br /><a title="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13515_3-10229749-26.html" href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13515_3-10229749-26.html">http://news.cnet.com/8301-13515_3-10229749-26.html</a>.<br />Facebook uses its Lexicon service, which tracks how frequently certain terms are mentioned in wall posts. <a title="http://www.facebook.com/lexicon" href="http://www.facebook.com/lexicon">www.facebook.com/lexicon</a><br />There is a New Lexicon service in beta format that will use much more demographics. <a title="http://www.facebook.com/lexicon/index.php?q=" topic="football" href="http://www.facebook.com/lexicon/index.php?q=battery+management#/lexicon/new/?topic=football">http://www.facebook.com/lexicon/index.php?q=battery+management#/lexicon/new/?topic=football</a><br /><br />Thought this might be of interest. Future way of tracking conversations via Facebook.<br /><br />P.S. How is this not called a PR tool? This is a tool for PR!<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Matt<br /><br /><br /><a title="blocked::mailto:m-mckinney1@ti.com" href="blocked::mailto:m-mckinney1@ti.com"></a>AmberPizanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02376381791986815562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894539212122930966.post-37455296060676586952009-03-26T08:19:00.000-07:002009-03-26T08:22:19.115-07:00Google webinar praises my marketing campaign: Thank an EngineerGoogle just held a web analytics webinar and sited my <a href="www.ti.com/thanks">Thank an Engineer campaign</a> as an excellent example of B-2-B marketing!

Out of the list that I tried, the two sites/apps that I preferred were search.twitter.com and Twitter Answers.<br /><br />You can search what’s going on in Twitter at <a href="http://www.search.twitter.com/">Search.twitter.com</a>. They have a list of the most tweeted items (real-time) or you can search whatever you want and it’ll pull up all relevant tweets (like google search, but in twitter only). It’s very useful and easy to use.<br /><br />Then there’s <a href="http://www.mosio.com/twitter/">Twitter Answers</a>. You text any random question you have to Mosio (a mobile community) and other Mosio members answer it. You can answer questions to. I signed up and linked it to my Twitter & Facebook account, so if I text a question it’ll post to Mosio, Twitter, and Facebook at the same time. I got my first answer within a few minutes.<br /><br />Here’s a list of other Twitter Applications that I didn’t have as much luck with… but maybe you will anyway (figure anything out, would love to hear how):<br /><a href="http://www.kosertech.com/blog/?page_id=5">ceTwit</a> is a windows mobile twitter client. Here’s <a href="http://spmwinkel.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/review-cetwit-20-free-twitter-client-for-windows-mobile/">review/instructions</a> of this application.<br /><a href="http://www.gpstwit.com/">GPS Twit</a> is an application that you can run on your phone to make it easy for your friends to find you.<br /><a href="http://www.anthonyburns.co.uk/Quakk/">Quakk</a> is an Open Source Windows Mobile Twitter Application Twitter client.<br /><a href="http://dalelane.co.uk/page.php?id=1047">TwitToday </a>adds a textbox to the Today screen of your PDS (Windows Mobile 5/6 touchscreen). To send a 'tweet', fill your text into the text box and hit 'OK'. Tap on the twitter icon to launch the mobile Twitter website and read your friend's updates.AmberPizanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02376381791986815562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894539212122930966.post-29602176369494052462009-01-09T08:34:00.000-08:002009-01-09T09:14:30.706-08:00Let's Talk Tweet<a href="http://www.twitter.com/">Twitter</a> is basically a micro-blogging website. You can send updates of what’s going on in your life or company. Or if you’re looking for info, find someone who’s talking about stuff you’re interested in (or a friend) and follow them. <br /><br />In turn they usually follow you (hence how you go about targeting people to follow you). It’s a social network. You can send updates (i.e. tweets) with a 140 character max. Think of it as a mini-press release in real time.<br /><br />Everyone says it, but really it is true- you just won’t get it until you start doing it. I follow pet products (I’m a dog lover) and deal alerts (also love a bargain). So far <a href="http://twitter.com/AmberPizano">my tweets</a> aren’t limited to one topic- I’m throwing in work/home/whatevs.AmberPizanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02376381791986815562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894539212122930966.post-84542389440469401552008-12-18T07:44:00.000-08:002008-12-18T07:52:11.214-08:00My blog- it's being difficult (Web 2.0)It's been a month since my last post! I'm already stepping into blog failure- So lesson learned. I kept putting it off because I felt like the info I'd find wasn't enough, or detailed enough, or big enough. So I'm going to focus on small steps:<br /><br />Today's lesson, let's define what this is all about... Web 2.0<br /><br />"Web 2.0 is the collective term for the host of applications, such as blogs, wikis, and social networks, that enable users to post, edit, and comment on content online. While Web 1.0 users were passive, Web 2.0 transforms the user into an active contributor, allowing marketers to engage consumers in new and compelling ways, but also presenting challenges associated with the degree of control consumers now possess."<br /><br />Source: <a href="https://mlc.executiveboard.com/Members/ResearchAndTools/Abstract.aspx?cid=100007759">Corporate Executive Board</a>AmberPizanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02376381791986815562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894539212122930966.post-83074045008425878392008-11-12T09:34:00.000-08:002008-11-12T10:04:22.894-08:00Getting startedAlright- first thing I did was create an account at the first round of sites I thought would be relevant in my quest to integrate with the online world:<br /><br />Twitter<br />AdGabber<br />Reddit<br />Technorati<br />LinkedIn<br />Digg<br />revver.com<br />de.licious<br />Google.com<br />blogger.com<br />MySpace- already had this one, but wanted to list<br />Facebook- already had this one, but wanted to list<br />Teachertube<br />Tubemogul- I upload a lot of videos for work, this sites uploads to these sites:<br /> yahoo<br /> aol<br /> Veoh<br /> Sclipo<br /> Howcast<br /> 5Min<br /> Graspr<br /> Blip<br /> YouTube<br /> <br />Next I'm going to learn how to use each one and do a helpful list of what each one is for and any challenges or neat things I took away from them. I might have to do a post per a site... that's probably the best way to tackle it... but we'll see.AmberPizanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02376381791986815562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894539212122930966.post-3534463209791977112008-11-10T08:20:00.000-08:002008-11-10T08:34:37.141-08:00I'm learnin that web 2.0 thangAlright- so I was in the Navy and basically "at sea" from 1998-2003 and got behind on that whole internet thing. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong- I've used it. I email, I shop, I've even ordered pizza on it. But all those crazy tools where you link to people and track what they're doing, or digg articles and stuff you like, or tweet about what you're doing- I'm not really up to speed.<br /><br />So, I work in market communications and media relations at Texas Instruments- and to be competitive in my job, I really need to be up on the latest online trends. So here's my mission:<br /><br />Step 1) start a blog<br />Step 2) try out every online tool- actually "Master" every online tool<br />Step 3) blog about it so maybe others can use what I've learned and save some timeAmberPizanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02376381791986815562noreply@blogger.com0
