Twitter Updates for 2008-05-14
  • Adding a session around email campaigns for MediaCampBucks #
  • Quick head count, what are you selling here? Or is twitter the water cooler for you? Or something else? #
  • Had a debate about social media on AC Radio a few days ago, I was playing the skeptic: http://tinyurl.com/5852so #
  • @Dunkndisorderly what are you selling? #
  • @sleepydog have fun at CCC this morning. I flew back early from Vienna, but have HEAPS on the job list here. #
  • @Dunkndisorderly and have you obtained leads, made any sales from twitter? Cost effective? #
  • @jangles Email is still #1 for me, in most areas.. #
  • @badgergravling new baby right? #
  • @jangles That is not an option for me.. my audience are not geeks and MAJOR email users, at all points of cycle. #
  • @Prycie @Dunkndisorderly I’m presuming it is NOT cost effective per man/girl/hours compared to say google ads for your service :) but fun? #
  • @delboydare Looking forward to meeting you, we will use labels with our names and twitter handles on. #
  • @jangles Will you be gracing us with your presence this Saturday, Neville ? #
  • @Prycie then I need to know about your brand, cause it is not obvious to me here… you have a pretty icon that interests me, but product? #
  • @badgergravling the blue works, cleaner too. :) Babies are so cool though eh? We have 21 month, and new one in the oven for November #
  • @Prycie I guess, but you know what I’d like? Case studies or good news of it working for your clients. :) i.e. email marketing. #
  • @Prycie Good news stories, successful use of email.. I know email marketing works, but many don’t. ;) #
  • @Dunkndisorderly See that is helpful :) #
  • Email marketing is vital for my client, avoiding spam filters is important @Dunkndisorderly posted useful link: http://tinyurl.com/5z45tb #
  • @Prycie good stuff, so that type of thing worked into a conversational Blog, and people here would lap it up. Randomness rocks too. ;) #
  • Free tips here regarding email newsletter: http://tinyurl.com/68uxsx email marketing? Yes, core area works for selling your wares, period. #
  • @Prycie and in True Blue Peter style this is one I did few days ago: http://tinyurl.com/62sjpo #
  • @HollowMarkeD great point! #
  • re tweet: "@HollowMarkeD most of email spam is goverened by trust of the IP address now, content isn’t as important." great tip #
  • @Prycie add these as comments on my Blog, let’s build a list. ;) #
  • @HollowMarkeD care to add your "gems" in a comment http://tinyurl.com/62sjpo ? Or guest Blog it? #
  • @JeremyGould right on :) #
  • Buzz marketing is illegal now in UK isn’t it? Good luck policing that then! #
  • @hazel what do you do? #
  • @amandachapel You think? How about I use a random Internet Cafes and write some glowing testimonial reviews on amazon? #
  • @Nishan The Black Swan #
  • @amandachapel yep, but a ton of these would write glowing testimonials on amazon, proving that is tough. #
  • @DowningStreet what’s he going to say that is not spin or re-launch? More policies to prevent? Never tackles the source causes. #
  • @amandachapel Production of evidence would work, agreed. Though, I imagine a a black market would rise up, russian agencies for example. #
  • @EaonP cameron is a posh boy agreed, is posh a bad thing? What’s wrong with it, if it is? And does GB really know about people? #
  • @amandachapel Do you not think a lot of "mainstream" users all already fairly sophisticated at discerning authoritative content? #
  • @EaonP do you think the government should have a say in your business? You appreciate intervention? #
  • @amandachapel And is not all PR and advertising manipulation? #
  • @mbites mediacampbucks this weekend http://mediacampbucks.com #
  • @amandachapel hmmm skeptic. What about books? Been manipulating without regulation since day 1. #
  • @EaonP government intervening commercial affairs, asking why think it should? Doesn’t competition provide better service? living standards? #
  • @amandachapel The Bible #
  • @amandachapel yes I agree, but look at the grand scale of manipulation world-wide… where is the mainstream protection? #
  • @Scobleizer and they should change the label to "non personal contacts" at the same time. #
  • @hazel what you researching? #
  • @EaonP yes it has improved, you don’t think so? Tubes are clean, run on time, serious money for upgrades available. I’d say good service. #
  • @amandachapel By that logic buzz marketing is fair game, if the Bible is .. #
  • @EaonP competition done that Eaon regardless of a token "mayor" . #
  • @EaonP example of a bad service: NHS. needs competition in place, and probably needs to be supplemented by micro payments by us as users. #
  • @jeffpulver and @jeffpulver why don’t you just run your own systems? I run forums and newsletters with WAY more than 5k subscribers. #
  • When the NHS was invented, we didn’t have huge sophisticated electronic equipment to maintain and support. We do now.. bad model. #
  • @EaonP If you work, pay micro amounts per treatment, the system can’t cope to maintain expensive stuff. Works in Italy very well, and EU #
  • @jeffpulver but they could be #
  • @iGJD I think we still do #
  • re tweet "easy creating organisations for a place in time, but held back from changing fast by its history." @dominiccampbell good stuff #
  • @EaonP Also, benefit receivers MUST be put to use somehow, sitting home watching fucking SKY means people die in hospital. #
  • @iGJD that’s a function of over-worked #
  • @iGJD Yep, NHS needs to be changed, period. Micro payments. #
  • hey students win an iMac and a cash prize of €3.000: http://tinyurl.com/6nstb7 #
  • @EaonP Talk about stereotypes. u know full well benefit claims in large numbers are mere lazy buggers doing naff all, as much as I know it. #
  • @EaonP re t-shirts, cool bananas. #
  • @amandachapel "A religion is a set of beliefs and practices generally held by a human community" - google. #
  • Cultural shift: less is more, and self-empowering. #
  • @amandachapel and I’m generally very un-religious. People are dangerous in large numbers. #
  • I was spawned from a council estate, yet I learnt the value of competition early on.. in fact a council estate is a competitive playground. #
  • In the Royal Navy I shared my bedroom with about 24 blokes on a ship.. #
  • In Milan I lived in "communal apartments" (400 people) shared bins, shared gates and elevators.. Heard NO noise next door. #
  • It’s not possible in UK, the psych here is poles apart #
  • I was about to go for a run, but I’ll hold off for a while as this could get interesting #
  • @philcampbell lol good visual #
  • What is it with religious cults in USA anyway, what’s in the psych there that aids allegiance? Not on radar here in EU (mostly) #
  • Composing an email for MediaCampBucks what info do you want to know? Also, if you want to be on it, DM me your addy. #
  • @samismail lol good one, made me chuckle #
  • @Taoski or if each site made some money, you could re-invest in having someone do that for you. :) #
  • @jopkins not sure, I think IT does engage with a few which is commendable. But not sure if that comms cascades upwards. #
  • @Caledebois Oh I love that place, what a spot!! I need to return soon and hook up with friends. #
  • We have 100 T-Shirts for MediaCampBucks, what size would you like? #
  • @EaonP They new cool looking one apparently does DRM and non DRM playback, but not tried it personally. #
  • @eaonp I think we should use surplus t-shirts (if there are any) as give-aways in exchange for in-bound links. Whadda ya say? #
  • @Caledebois Osso buco my friend osso buco hmmmm yum http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishambly/2451037243/ #
  • @solobasssteve depends on the day, my favourites depend on mood. #
  • @DowningStreet oh joy #
  • 2 much Kool aid drinking going on #
  • @ChrisCavs be good if it was the whistle for Kill Bill.. ;) got it in your head now? http://tinyurl.com/yjumwo #
  • Getting many requests for XL t-shirts, you all drink too much Kool Aid. #
  • @samismail I predict a riot.. aww go on, follow them .. nudge nudge #
  • @kateritchie thanks, but what takes place on a hump day? #
  • If @mbites follows you and you are coming to MediaCampBucks give him a message that he should mention it in TechCrunch can you? #
  • @Caledebois ahh si.. che buono! #
  • Some would say eating Italian is "posh" yet it is based on peasant recipes, it’s all-class food in Italy. CEOs sit next to Builders. #
  • @SpostareDuro pasties? #
  • As long as people talk of "classes" they will exist. But they could be argued to be imaginary in a democracy. Self selecting. #
  • @SpostareDuro I like them #
  • @Caledebois you’ll know how quality food is not a function of how much you earn, in Italy, and generally who you eat with, my experience #
  • @deCabbit The event is the day after SMC, i.e. this Satruday ;) #
  • @Prycie yes, spam filter twigged it was spam, but I told him to STFU and cleared it. #
  • I’m going to write a page for my blog which is called "iFollow" as in comments on my blog do NOT have the no follow tag.. #
  • @jowyang sounds messy and woolly to me #
  • I thought "influencers" were proven to not really have "influence" in the grand scheme of things? What’s that Yahoo chap called? #
  • @dahowlett that’s it though, "influence" is a changing and subjective thing personal to each person. What influences me won’t for you. #
  • @badgergravling not only. Influence is personal not global. #
  • @Prycie @EaonP "underclass" under what exactly? #
  • If you agree with me on everything you are of little use to me.. if you debate and argue you are my friend. ;) #
  • @dahowlett skeptical to that personally. #
  • @EaonP I love it, will make great SMM content down the road, especially after a few beers. #
  • @parkylondon what do you mean try your video blog? I’ not a video person in any stretch of the imagination (sucks)… what do you mean? #
  • "Just to confirm that Mix 107 will be running copy to promote MediaCamp 08 on the day of the event, this Saturday 17 May" #
  • @parkylondon are you asking what I think about video blogs? if so I do not "get" them either.. I’m a Google text PacMan guy.. #
  • Social Media is a "buzz word" it’s merely a communications technology, get off the bus. #
  • @parkylondon ego boosting #
  • @amandachapel "nightmare Web 2 has wrought." bit strong. For educational discovery Web2 has huge benefits. For Business, jury is out #
  • @Prycie lol humour inevitably works on me #
  • one of the ironies of SM is that the creators profit from all of your activity… not very social is it? Feel used and abused? Pawn > … #
  • @Prycie did you say you are going to feed me? #
  • @amandachapel lol no, for education its successful no doubt about it. But I do not want to open source my product ;) #
  • @Prycie ketchupless food sounds ideal and "classy" ;) what ya gonna cook? #
  • I do NOT use the "no-follow" tag iFollow: http://www.chrishambly.com/content/ifollow #
  • @Prycie hehe "spirals of mechanically reclaimed turkey meat" #
  • UK Government asking the "people" : http://www.commonsleader.gov.uk/output/Page2409.asp #
  • @jopkins aww dear of them, probably 12 year old kid in bedroom, <h2>HOME PAGE</h2> awesome SEO too.. be kind.. #
  • @amandachapel agreed "get it" should be outlawed, one of the most wankiest phrases around. #
  • IN fact the verb "to get" is just pure laziness, what’s wrong with "to obtain", "to catch", "to understand", "to fetch" etcetera .. #
  • @parkylondon @DowningStreet why of course, Gov is a servant of the people no doubt ! ! #
  • Going for a run #
  • Hey USA peeps, look what I shot yesterday, this is on the roof of a building in Vienna: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishambly/2492322691/ #
  • @SilentJay74 pretty standard sentiment all over EU actually.. but the allowed to be publicaly obvious there.. which is coolio. #
  • Screw all these MP3 time to get the vinyl out on the decks and play the noise #
