I often use Google Alerts to give me the heads up on what people are saying on blogs and forums about Microsoft adCenter, Live Search and Microsoft in general. It’s a great way to measure the buzz in the market place and judge the temperature of opinion.
My own name is on the list because I do a lot of speaking and while it’s good to get feedback, not everyone emails me and says they’ve written about the presentation or lecture.
This way you can measure your online reputation and get to know pretty much instantaneously when someone’s published some sentiment about you or your company.
However, as you can see from above, even Google throws up some spurious results!
I’ve been following online conversations about “Faile”, the New York street art collective, because I recently bought one of their pieces.
You’d be surprised how many people spell “failed” wrong when talking about dismal exam results on their blogs and in chat rooms! 🙂
The long anticipated deal with Facebook to provide its users with Live Search functionality has happened.
In an announcement this morning Satya Nadella has announced the extension to the deal in the US to provide search tools powered by Live Search and Ads powered by Microsoft adCenter.
No news on them looking to evolve the deal internationally, but with 45% of the UK market it’ll do very nicely over here thankyou very much!
This is great, great news!!!
Double-D social networking brilliance.
Did you know M&S charge women an extra £2 if they’re larger than most ontop?
As I write they have 1380 members and counting…..
One thing I can’t stand is when main stream media scaremonger and talk utter rot about social networking, online privacy and internet marketing.
My flight back from Seattle on Sunday was uneventful but I found myself slowly simmering having read an article on social networking and Facebook by one of the Mail On Sunday’s columnists – Liz Jones – in the BA lounge at SEA-TAC
I replied on my Media Week Blog – Liz Jones I Don’t Hate You But….
Let me know what you think here or there……
