On Domain vs Off Domain – Part 2 – Or What Jakob Nielsen Said

Last week my colleague, Mike Manuel, brought up the subject of On-Domain vs. Off Domain strategies for social media (and really for all online comms). It got me thinking of something Jakob Nielsen said back in 2000 with the release of Designing Web Usability. I’m paraphrasing, but basically the line is: Web users spend the [...]

PR, WOM and Social Networking to Survive Cuts in Marketing Spending

According to a survey from the ANA, public relations, word-of-mouth and social-network-based efforts are among those marketing activities whose spending will at least be maintained if not increased as companies make budget cuts to ride out the recession.

I joked (mostly) about social media expert-itis in a previous post, but if you really had to try and dig into what makes someone a “social media expert,” it’s really not that difficult of a thing to deconstruct, I mean, if you just focus on direct experiences.
