In Brussels for the Social Media workshop organized by my colleagues: a great day with a room full on interesting people. Bram, Chloe, Alessandra and Peter organized everything perfectly and I am told there is lots of material whch should be soon availabe including – ta dah ! – video ! For some comments search [...]
Always rich in hard-to-find-elsewhere information and data, Tomi Ahonen posted a ranking of the top 25 Social Networks in terms of mobile users. I am AMAZED (and humbled) at the number of these I had never heard of. Anyway here is a cheesy infographic I developed on these data:
This morning, while I was issuing a tsunami of Happy Easter wishes to friends and family, I noticed a post on Facebook by my colleague Ben Foster, praising this post by Andrew Chen, where he states in very concise terms the conundrum faced by marketeers in the wake of the Social Media revolution.

One of the characteristics of genius is the ability (and sometimes the penance) to see the world with different eyes, spotting opportunity where most see challenges; a rude interruption by a non-silenced phone turns into [...]
I recently got involved in a Twitter discussion over the merits of Twitter hashtags vs. Google+ Circles; at some point I said that I liked better the former especially when coupled with an efficient single stream reader like Hootsuite, but both were missing a crucial NOT operator and this remark was not clear to most [...]
