You Might Be A Digg Spammer If…Aug 22 2008 | Social Networks |
There are many reasons the Digg Community may perceive you negatively, or worse yet, consider you a filthy social media spammer. If you take part in the majority of these activities you probably aren’t seen as a positive social media maven as you may have hoped. Instead your actions depict you as a whiney and needy nuisance.
You might be a Digg Spammer If:
1. Your only shot at glory is to slightly rip of a top digger’s icon so you might get a few extra diggs
2. Your icon is a busty woman, but you are an out of shape male
3. You have over 400 “friends”
4. You only shout with one of these sayings: “shouting for a friend,” “sharing for a friend,” or “for a friend”

SES San Jose: Viral Marketing and Partying for GoodAug 15 2008 | Conferences |
On Monday, I’ll be presenting at Search Engine Strategies San Jose on Igniting Viral Campaigns:
In a world dominated by behemoths like bud.tv, MySpace, and YouTube, how do mid-sized and smaller companies break through to generate online destinations that create buzz, encourage word of mouth and establish relationships with potential buyers? This session unveils the secrets of Web 2.0 techniques and technologies that enable companies to stand out and be talked about.
I’m going to focus on an overview of social media marketing and especially how you can leverage social media news & bookmarking sites to make your campaigns take off. The sessions is aimed at small to mid-sized business owners and is a must attend for anyone doing viral marketing. If you’re going to be at SES - I’d really suggest making it to this 11:15am session on Monday morning. I’ll also be joined by Jennifer Laycock, Justilien Gaspard, Fionn Downhill and it will all be moderated by Andrew Goodman.
