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.

Re: Bing, Facebook, And Twitter: The Impact Of Social Media On Search

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.

Same here. I haven't been back to it since I received my invite. It's doing too much and doesn't solve a thing for me.

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

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.

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

Catalyst might be a better word for what I was trying to describe. Thank you for sharing your thoughts Colin. This is all based on my experience though. I think we have the power to be that big idea for companies if they simply listen.

I think frustration and complication come from delivering things that people never knew they wanted. I want a product that solves the problem I'm having now. Creating a desire equates to creating another problem to solve. This is something companies need to stop doing. Though in a capitalistic society that's almost impossible.

I do agree with your bets though :) Care to share why Nokia and Apple?

I'm not ramming down their throats anything they haven't rammed down ours.

We are the creators, with our thoughts. Listening to our problems, applying our feedback, and connecting with us is the start of creation, hence the idea comes from us. R/D, Design, etc are fuel for the creation's evolution and progress into perfection.

I have no intentions of buying Tweetie 2, though I have played with the app. I wanted to see how others were feeling about the situation. I personally don't have a problem with the pricing since I'm not purchasing it.
