2010 Social Media Forecast
As 2010 progresses, there will be strides made in the way social media functions as well as the way in which it integrates into our daily lives. Based on what we’ve seen so far, we’ve only scratched the surface of possibilities that social media has brought us. Below, we’ve outlined the areas in which you [...]
You can’t deny what you’ve been up to online. We have the data.
We know what you’ve been doing on your computer. You’ve been Facebooking and Tweeting up a storm, haven’t you. You can’t deny it. Nielsen has the proof.
Social Media Apps leading the way on iPhone and Android
The iPhone and the Droid are powerful, app-friendly devices that give users the freedom to browse the web, play games, watch videos, read up on breaking news or even (wait for it) make phone calls!
With all this power at their fingertips, what are people choosing to use most frequently? Well, Mashable recently wrote a piece [...]
Why Twitter? It’s the fastest way to get instant news.
At 4AM last night my husband and I woke up to the room shaking. "What was that?" I asked, like he might know, since he was up 1 second before me. My first thought, which I embarrassingly voiced out loud: "Was it the dogs?"

Lots of hospitals are using social media, but only 1 in 3 has a plan
Social media is one of those things that seems deceptively simple. You open a Twitter account and send out some Tweets. Perhaps you’ll start a Facebook page and auto-feed in some content. Maybe you’ll upload some videos onto YouTube. These are all uses of social media tools — but using them doesn’t constitute a plan. And using social media by itself doesn’t constitute an online marketing plan.
Happy Birthday, Facebook! Except not really.
Do you celebrate your birthday on day your parents got nasty? Or do you celebrate it on the day you were born? Mashable, CNN Money/Fortune Magazine and others are reporting this morning that today is Facebook’s birthday — as listed on their own Facebook fan page. But Facebook didn’t go live until a year later.
