Is Twitter Just Hype (Twitter vs Facebook vs MySpace)?

 Every online marketing firm, including ours, always includes some sort of Twitter marketing option. Most of the time it isn't by choice, because our clients read all about Twitter and buy into the hype that it's an effective marketing tool. But is Twitter really all that popular than say, MySpace? Most of us already know that with the dawn of Facebook, MySpace sort of took a backseat in the online social environment. Even with riding in the backseat, MySpace still is able to control more user attention than Twitter.

Social Media Marketing or Social Marketing?

 I'm often asked what Boost Labs does and I find myself always answering "social media marketing". The immediate reply is, "Oh like Facebook marketing stuff right?", which then prompts me into this long speech about how there's more to social media marketing than just Facebook and usually ends with me suffering from dehydration and the poor person on the receiving side of my rambling with a glazed over look on their face. Has "Social Media Marketing" been forever branded as "Facebook Only Marketing"?

Does Coffee Fuel Creativity?

 At Boost Labs, we are very passionate about our work in social media. Every second of everyday if we are not brainstorming really cool ideas for our clients, we are sipping on something that is caffeinated. Which got me to think...is our caffeine intake encouraging our creativity?

Social Media and The Automotive Industry

While most industries are trying to figure out what Social Media can do for them, the automotive industry has been involved in social media as early as 2001 (possibly even earlier). In fact most manufacturers were involved whether they liked it or not. The reason for the forced involvement had to do with car enthusiasts who had passion for specific automotive models and brands. Using "car love" as the common bond, millions of visitors would join various "closed communities" (bulletin boards) and engage in conversation with each other across the world. This opened the communication doors between the manufacturer and the owner. This also provided an opportunity for people like me to start a "closed community" and provide enthusiasts with something that they couldn't find anywhere else. Hence the start of EvolutionM.net.
