Re: Scribkin’s WordPress Plugins - Let Me Show You Them

eng1ne — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:45:42 -0000

I actually wrote this post over a year ago (5-17-08 to be precise) so the site has undergone many changes since then. Onle of the last changes I made was to go with a very light theme with no CSS so that people could choose their own font via their browser preference.

However, that doesn't mean I'm not using *any* plugins now.. In fact, I currently have 33 active plugins, including: Add to Any, Akismet, All In One SEO, Disqus and more.

Hm, I could probably stand to get rid of some of the older ones, though.

Persistence seemed to pay off very nicely for you Chad. Thanks for sharing some of the steps you took for those who have had questions on how to get back in once you're out.

Definitely a concern as well. I think interaction has decreased since the Facebook announcement, but it's been downhill since before then.

You're absolutely right Shevonne, I think the lack of diversity is a contributor, not necessarily the root of the problem.

Scoble and I use the site for different purposes and objectives, so we expect different things out of it.

Thanks :)

Scoble has a lot to answer for in his own behaviour. I'm not agreeing with his behaviour, just his sentiment about chatroom/forum problem

Hey Trina, I'm glad you could make it out to Blogalicious09 and thrilled to hear that our panel was inspiring for you. What's your site? Would love to see what you've done.

A Trackback or Pingback is a way for you to know when someone has linked to one of your articles. It will provide a link back to the site that linked to your content, and sometimes includes a summary of what the article had to say and where your link was mentioned in the article. You can head to Technorati.com to claim your blog and also keep track of pingbacks. If you're using Wordpress there are a host of plugins and social commenting systems like Disqus to keep track of these things for you all. Let me know if you need anymore help on this Trina.

Re: Why It’s Easier To Control Your Brand, Not The Conversation

Corvida — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:09:25 -0000

People will only see such negatives if they don't know you and the first thing they see is your brand's name (which they've been previously discussing). You have to get that connection to them without the need for your brand's name to be mentioned.

Stimulating the conversation is also different from jumping in with "cold feet." Stimulated conversations have a sense of credibility, trust, respect, and a deeper need for a better understanding about the topic at hand from people that you can trust.

It's beyond saying the right things at the right times, which can make people nervous when they don't know what to say.

Talk to folks without your brand's name being mentioned. Share your opinions as a person and not just an employee.

Good questions Chris.

I'm hoping the inclusion of social media in search will help us move towards more natural language processing for both search and also SEO. I think overall it could make managing SEO a lot easier.

I really like Gowalla as well but I'm divided between the service and Foursquare! Hopefully Gowalla will be available on other mobile devices in the not so distant future so that more people are involved!

You've hit the nail right on the head. Until comparable apps to Listpro and Kinoma become available, using the Blackberry has made me really parse down my usage in some areas, although it has greatly improved my experience in others.

Re: Attention Companies: Your Next Big Idea Will Come from Us

With the use of social media platforms the demand is no longer generated by the company, it's generated by the people who would consider buying their services.

Understand, people aren't moving away from marketing or even heavily marketed ideas. But we all know that companies seem to never listen to the complaints that consumers make about services, quality of service, customer support and tons more about ONE company on a daily basis. WE mold the reputation surrounding their services a lot more online than companies could ever do at this point.

Now they can only pull up a chair, listen, and respond accordingly.

Re: Attention Companies: Your Next Big Idea Will Come from Us

Corvida — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 20:00:47 -0000

It all seems like one of the smartest moves a company can make right now.

They produce services for us and then wonder how or why it's not selling? 9/10 because they're not listening to what we need or how they can improve what they already have that might be of use to us. Meanwhile, we're blasting away on SM platforms letting them know just how they can get us to buy a new pair of Nike's or Converse All Stars.

Re: Attention Companies: Your Next Big Idea Will Come from Us

Yes! Inspiration and big ideas can be powered by others. Aren't they always?
