TWELLOW...by the Letter E

Twitter. We all use it or have at least ventured to the website once or twice to see what the hoopla is all about. Some left and never returned because they didn't see the big deal in the utilization of twitter. Some, like me left then returned to give it another go. Now I utilize twitter every day to keep me in the loop with various events in my community and in my current state, to look for a job. That is how I fell in love with Twitter. Then I realized I was getting rather bored with the people that I was following. (no offense) They were posting witty tweets and information but it just wasn't enough. I discovered that I needed new content and new people to follow but I didn't have all day to sit and browse through the jillions of (yes I said jillions) of folks on the twitter site.

Enter TWELLOW.com. My saving grace. It's a site that allows you to browse categorically the people that you might want to follow. So if I'm looking to follow the latest tech geek I just click on the computers and technology tab and I find a slew of individuals that I can immediately follow on Twitter and with any luck have them follow back, thus increasing valuable networking exposure to the technology world! Signing up for the site is as simple as connecting your current twitter account. Twellow automatically assesses the people you follow and will note them if they are in a category that you click. For example, if I already follow Snoop Dogg, and I click on the Entertainment category on Twellow the link to Snoop Dogg is listed as "Follows". Otherwise you can click on the yellow 'follow' button and they are added.

Twellow also allows you the capability of networking through local channels or everyone. This is handy if you are trying to network locally for business or hangouts IRL. (that's IN REAL LIFE for non-tech people) The people at Twellow have come up with a fantastic way of helping people like me who like to use Twitter but do not have time to sit and filter through the mass amount of people that are signed up. So thank you Twellow. For everyone else, give it a whirl. You never know what you might learn.

Ad Agencies and Social Media: Is there a disconnect?

If you've ever tried to find employment at an advertising agency without any 'agency experience', you probably know how difficult it can be to even get your resume past the gatekeeper reviewing the emails much less get in to interview.  With the appearance of social media and this type of emergent media marketing ad agencies are trying to keep up.  The reason is simple, to be good at social media monitoring it involves actual interaction with the community and others online.  Creating a campaign for a client involves much more than just creating generic content to post every holiday, which is different from standard ad operations that normally send out  'holiday blast' commercial copy across all normal marketing channels for a client.  Social media requires 'interaction'.  One does NOT need a Masters degree or agency experience in order to get to know your buying public and interact with them online.  Many small businesses and even some not so small ones h

Ello.co : A welcome change to the social media landscape

Image
So there's this new social media thing. The "anti-facebook" out there in the virtual space. It is calling to all to join and not letting anyone join at the same time.  The elite, those with the coveted golden ticket can enter and partake on the newest social media site.  The Ello.co site is invite only while it is in beta testing.  I was fortunate enough to be able to access through someone in one of my Google+ circles (see Google+ is good for something :)).  I had a slight bit of difficulty entering the site because I was granted an invite, but just one I had to type in myself not the actual formal email invite.  So because I was trying to login using the regular ello.co site, and not the ello.co/join site, I had some issues BUT eventually we figured it all out and I was in. I soon discovered that I did not have the 25 invites that were once available.  This may have been because their server was down for a bit.  Virtually hundreds and hundreds of people were joining eve

Skype...by the Letter E

I learned a new skill today.  Well not new per se, but new perhaps to my technical capabilities since I haven't had to use it until today. I had my first online job interview utilizing the Skype platform.  I have used the face time app on my iphone before so it's not like this type of communication is completely foreign to me, however today was the first time that I had an actual...er..virtual face to face meeting with a recruiter.  As a kid I used to watch episodes of star trek or cartoons where people communicated face to face via their watch communicators or computer screens.  I think it's amazing that that technology is now here and is quickly becoming the normal more convenient way of doing business.  It was a quick conversation about the details of my resume, with the occasional blip in reception but over all it was a decent conversation using the technology.  I'm looking forward to calling everyone now, although I may want to take a few minutes to 'freshen up
