The “Real-Time Web” Needs Deep Link Search

If you ask anyone who’s keeping their eyes on developments online what the next big development is, odds are the conversation will sooner or later include the term “the real-time web.” If you’re unfamiliar with the term, it’s meant to encompass the perception that conversations on the web are happening even faster than search engine [...]

Social Media is More Than a Campaign

David Berkowitz from 360i just posted a great article on MediaPost about the importance of looking at social media programs as more than just a campaign–or as he aptly calls it, “the deadly c-word.” His last two sentences are what really resonate: “If you’re a marketer, you may only be able to sign short-term contracts [...]

The First Priority is Always the Client

I wanted to expand on something Mike wrote in his quick-thought post “Integrated is the new normal” and use what he says there as a spring-board for what I’ve been thinking about lately.

The Crowded April Fools Market

Looking at the data at first, it’s a bit of a confirmation of our work since we’ve been seeing this trend for a while now at Voce.

UGCX Recap

I made my way through the UGCX social media sessions on Monday with iPhone on hand and laptop in tow. The crowds were not only hungry for the sponsored breakfast, but for applicable business models and key takeaways. Okay, so, why user-generated content? And the answer was… not obvious.

Community Platforms vs. Community Consultants

Alright, as if there wasn’t enough confusion in the marketplace right now regarding community-building tools, techniques and technicians, we now have the platform makers up-selling ‘community consulting services’ with their wares, and that has left many a company scratching its head and asking… So, uh, what exactly is the difference between a platform provider’s consulting [...]
