This is a guest post from Jamie Fairbairn.
The web is constantly evolving.
On July 15th 2006 Twitter was officially launched and has since gone on to change the way many of us interact online.
As Twitter approaches its 5th Birthday I thought it would be good to take a look at what it might be like if it was launching in 2011.
Read on below to discover my 10 point Twitter wish list.
Auto DMs wouldn’t exist
Isn’t it great when you follow someone on [...]

“Social media is a great way to tell the world what you’re thinking before you’ve had a chance to think about it.” – Chris Pirillo
Have you ever heard of that old saying, “You can take the ‘x’ out of the ‘y’, but you can’t take the ‘y’ out of the ‘x’”?
It implies to social media a lot.
How many people do you know have Facebook? Or Twitter? Or even that old-time favourite, Myspace? Or [...]

This is a guest post from Joe Hackman.
I received an email this week from Yelp reminding me that they do not understand my business. The first thing in bold red header images I read was:

What Yelp continues to fail to understand is that many small businesses and self-employed professionals don’t have a massive amount of customers. To put it bluntly, if we did not ask our customers to review us, there probably wouldn’t be any reviews, and we think that [...]

For someone who’s written about guest posting a few times, as well as recommended the benefits of it to clients when talking about Blog 101, I haven’t really done a lot of guest posting myself.
I’ve had brilliant guest authors here, but not really written too many myself. Maybe I should revisit my own post…
Having said that, I have been fortunate enough to appear on three blogs recently. Each one offers something different, while still within the realms of business, marketing [...]

This is a guest post by Antonia Harler, an Austrian and soon-to-be graduate who wrote her diploma thesis about Twitter as a tool for Relationship Marketing. She’s awesomely quirky as well as open-minded and she’s also kind of a big deal . For more information check out her blog Social Glitz or follow her on Twitter @antwizzel.
When Danny asked me to write this guest post about how social Austria is, my reaction was “hell yes”.
One of the reasons for [...]

This is a first on here – a guest blog by podcast.
Quite why I’ve never had more podcasts on here escapes me at the minute – but it’s certainly something I intend to improve upon in the coming weeks and months, along with more video posts as well.
The podcast itself is from Chris Favero, who I’ll let use his own words to introduce himself:
If you’re looking for honest reviews of the latest games and gear, GeekTechLive is the show [...]

January 16th  2010, I’m at a party with a few friends.
We were bragging to each other about the usual things. Girls, sport, gadgets, movies. I make a remark that would change my life.
“I’m gonna launch my own Radio Show!”
The idea has been swirling around in my head for years but I’ve never vocalized it. Not even to my wife – she just knows that I am a big Talk Radio fan. By the way, I own a Video Games recruitment [...]

Social Networking is a phenomenon that has gained incredible strength and continues to flourish.
It has baffled advertisers and businesses as the next generation of marketing is trying to learn how to tap into users in this space.
A significant shift has resulted where marketers realize that traditional advertising on the web is slowly becoming obsolete, and appealing to target groups as an advertiser in this space seems to be less effective than attempting to influence the influencers.
We’ve always seemingly put trust in the establishment to give us information on certain [...]
