Facebook – The Numbers & What They Mean
If you still don’t think social media is important, I think I have found the nail in the coffin for that argument. The We are Social blog posted a Facebook Infographic outlining key numbers specific to Facebook and what it’s users get up to. We will comment on a few of the key numbers here ...
Sneakers Going Social & AR
So it looks like Augmented Reality and mainstream appeal are merging closer and closer together. I think you can safely say that once AR codes and app access is included with sneakers much like toys inside cereal boxes – we have taken the next step in getting consumers and our customers to engage with our ...
So Your Video Went Viral… Now what?
I love social media, I really do. It fills my inbox with great blog posts to read, see where my friends are in the world, and makes me laugh and shocked at the same time with viral videos. It could be said that much of YouTube’s success comes from the creation of viral videos and ...
Why So Many Identities?
I am a member (active or inactive) in way too many social networks.

The Age Reports that it is basically because of dwindling MySpace users and rapid acceleration of Facebook memberships. What I want to examine is though why ...

SMCSYD 6 featuring MC Hammer
Last night, the world’s largest social media club (yes it is official) was held at one of Sydney’s leading universities, UTS. The special guest? One Mr @MCHammer. His presence in itself was pretty amazing, considering the fact that it appears his sole appearance was basically to evangelise Social Media to Australian business. To have Australians ...
