Comment on My Favorite Tools: Paper.Li by Marcy Gordon

Oh my. That’s not good. Glad I never started one in the first place. In the meantime, I guess ‘ll just have to settle for having others get credit for my content!

Comment on My Favorite Tools: Paper.Li by Julia Glenister

Today I ended my subscription to Paper.Li after it had automatically generated nearly a month of dailies in my name.

I was prepared to live with the list of grievances above: lack of content control, curating someone elses’ content, erroneous attribution (thanks to Marcy for pointing that out) and the questions that this all raises for ranking metrics. Why? Because I was just going to review the dailies for my own private consumption. The easy to read layout almost always alerted me to Tweets, articles and videos that I missed throughout the day.

In the end, the reason that I closed my Paper.Li account was because of the alerts Paper.Li constantly sent to my Twitter followers whose content it repurposed. I’ve since spoken to people who weren’t flattered and consider this spammy even though Paper.Li provides a button (described above) to stop these alerts.

It’s quite possible that some of these frustrated quotees could retaliate by blocking the Twitter accounts of the curators (you and me) of these Paper.Li newspaper accounts. If they do, that could get you kicked off Twitter.

Comment on My Favorite Tools: Paper.Li by Marcy Gordon

The strangest and most annoying aspect of this twitter created Daily is attrubution. I constantaly see my stories attrubuted to others because they RT me. So for example if you RT a link on my blog and someone who follows you creates a Daily using your tweet, the “paper” is published with your name attributed to my story! This seems worse than the permission aspect. But then again it’s all exposure I guess. But how does that calculate in ranking metrics?

Comment on Facebook’s Death Knell? by JAG

JAG — Fri, 21 May 2010 23:18:42 +0000

For an update on Facebook’s retraction of this “temporary”edict see: http://www.insidefacebook.com/2010/05/20/facebook-creates-removes-restriction-on-landing-page-tabs/.

It seems that after the outcry, landing pages and Welcome Pages will remain available for those who have under 10,000 fans and for those who don’t spend $25,000 in advertising with Facebook (for now).

Comment on Facebook’s Death Knell? by Felix Yeung

Felix Yeung — Thu, 20 May 2010 19:03:17 +0000

Thank you for a thoughtful post, especially in the context of relying on third-party apps for messaging and brand-building. Of course the initial attraction of Facebook was the easy and ready availability of (1) the brand-building infrastructure; and (2) potential audience / customers. Best of all, marketers talk about builidng a destination for customers, and in Facebook’s case, the destination is already open, built, and buzzing with traffic.

Unfortunately, Facebook is also teaching business owners, by way of a very bad example, how not to short-sightedly promulgate service and policy changes. The sudden changes and equally-rapid reversals, all done without planned, coherent communications, contribute to the image of Facebook steamrolling over user concerns with little regard for even its most loyal supporters. What started out as a “cool” application is now drawing comparisons to other “big bad monopolies.”

Worst of all, Facebook is making users very wary of engaging more deeply with the platform, which in turn negatively affects how they will interact with small business owners on the site. For example, one might see fewer people joining groups or becoming fans of pages built by business owners, for fear of compromising their privacy. Building marketing momentum on Facebook may become increasingly difficult.

I certainly see Facebook continuing as a valuable forum for notifications and messages, but I agree with your assessment that it serves better as a channel to drive traffic to one’s own site, rather than as a final destination.

Thanks for the great tip, Julia. We went ahead and registered designmind.tv. Now that we own waterfront property, should we be hoping for, or against, a Tsunami?

Wow, wow, wow, wow, WOWWWWZZZZAAAAA!!! Thank you so much for this outstanding summary of their “8 Hot Social Marketing Tips” webinar. Mari, Michael, Denise, and Chris just pulled back the curtain and spilled all the juicy, biz-critical tips and tricks for every business, whether solo-pro driven or a multi-billion dollar empire. I wasn’t able to attend the live webinar and didn’t know when I’d be able to listen to the replay, so catching this laser-focused recap is a lifesaver for me.

Soooo grateful!!! The links, the tips, and the way you summarized the material. These gurus are on the bleeding edge of this field, and have been a trusted, go-to resource for our biz for years. To catch it all in one place like this is heaven.

I sincerely can’t thank you enough. And since I caught this on Social Media Examiner’s FB Fan page I know you have their blessings to share this material, which is always a plus.

Now I have to go write our own blog post to ensure our own Fans, friends, followers, clients, and fellow biz owners know about this treasure trove of trend-tracking, ultra-vital to-dos and insights. Again, THANK YOU!

With oodles of gratitude,
Lani Voivod
co-owner of Epiphanies, Inc.

P.S. Would LOVE to invite you to “come write on our FB Fan Page Wall” at http://Facebook.com/AhaYourself. (Inspired by Mari’s tip #8)

P.P.S. Did I mention I’m grateful?

Comment on Bloomberg News Turns Tables by Julia Glenister

Julia Glenister — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 10:42:20 +0000

Finally, I can say something about this little off-the-record secret!

The news is now out about Bloomberg News teaming in an unusual deal with “The San Francisco Chronicle.” “Talking Biz News” posted an article with details about the new business relationship that includes the Bloomberg San Francisco Bureau writing an exclusive on a Bay Area subject every week for the Chron: http://weblogs.jomc.unc.edu/talkingbiznews/?p=14558.

And the proof is in the pudding. My Sunday paper arrived yesterday with “Bloomberg Briefing” stamped above the new Business section head entitled “Business Report The Chronicle with Bloomberg”. The Chron included a Bloomberg Market Report inside the Business section. The Bloomberg Briefing carried two short news items: one reporting that Jamba Juice’s stock went up on speculation of Starbuck’s possible acquisition of the local company, and the second, a piece juxtaposing JMP Securities forecast of strong sales for Oracle this year with Oracle CEO Larry Ellison’s well-known interest in buying the Golden State Warriors.

One can’t help speculating that this is just the beginning of something much bigger between Bloomberg News and The San Francisco Chronicle. At the very least it is a surprising show of confidence by Bloomberg when little more than a year ago a Bloomberg headline on February 25, 2009 declared “San Francisco May Be Largest City to Lose Main Paper” http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=a7W3v10uIRr0&refer=us.
