Dave Bowers says...

Hi! I'm David Bowers (aka Lancebastion online). If you know me, skip this post. No knew info here. If you don't here's some background...
 
Having moved  out of the @houseoftrouser to the US in May I have decided to chart my adventures overseas. This blog will contain videos, photos and tails of the (often strange) country that is America. Arlington, MA (I type MA because I can't spell Massachusetts) is my knew home, a suburb of Boston and is a semi dry town. That's right. No pubs. Quite a change to my previous home of Wolvercote, Oxford, which had 4 pubs for a population of a couple of thousand.
 
I studied Electronic Imaging and Media Communication in Bradford back in 2003 and you can find some videos on my YouTube Channel, you can also find me on twitter and facebook. I now work in digital marketing for Focal Press, if you're interested in any area of media technology check out their books. I'm also a top 1000 Amazon.co.uk reviewer and aim to hit the .com reviews soon.
So, there's some background on me. Now let's discover America.

El seguimiento o trackeo de la actividad de un sitio es tan importante como indispensable para reconocer su salud y popularidad. Un sitio con usuarios participantes, con buenos registros de RSS y una buena cantidad de pageviews en su haber, tiene todo para convertirse en un éxito. Por eso, poder revisar su actividad en cualquier momento se convierte en una necesidad para evaluar la efectividad del trabajo.

Si tienen un iPhone y administran un sitio web, bienvenidos a Ego, una extraordinaria herramienta para revisar los detalles de seguimiento más importantes de tu sitio. Se trata de una aplicación que pueden comprar en la tienda de iTunes por 20 pesos mexicanos (este precio puede variar) con un look limpio, destacadamente bien diseñado, con la que puedes llevar el registro de las estadísticas de la actividad de tu (tus) sitios, gracias a gadgets que configuras fácilmente con:

.Twitter
.Vimeo
.Ember
.Feedburner
.Google Analytics
.Mint
.Squarespace

El número de gadgets activados es ilimitado, por lo que tener una buena estrategia vía Feedburner y Google Analytics te permite monitorear cualquier sitio o servicio.

Sin duda, una aplicación indispensable si al web se dedican y usan iPhone.

This is a topic going round and round my head at the moment that I would like your feedback on. It may or may not have any legs what so ever...

Many company's are beginning to use Social Media like Twitter and Facebook for Social Marketing campaigns.

Some company's have great clear ideas, an easy way to get people to participate and manage to execute their campaigns well. Others fail miserably. 

Now there are plenty of people on Twitter, even following you who understand how Twitter works. Isn't it about time you called one of them up and ran your Social Media Campaign by them before you launch into something that's likely to boar the pants off everyone and end up with tweets containing #cringe or #fail

Your ideas might sound fantastic and exciting to you but how are you really going to break through the noise with a uniquely fun and interesting promotion. The best way is to test your ideas with those in the loop.

There's nothing like testing the water with a stick before you jump, it could save you a lot of bad press, embarrassment, time and money. 

So there's the protectionism that a Mentor can bring but what about the ideas, tricks of the trade and other feedback you might get?

What do you think? Would you put your hand up to be a Social Mentor? Do you think your company could utilize a social sounding board?

This morning, connecting to twitter, I saw a new infor;ation on top of the window : twitter added to my account as beta group member the new "Retweet" functions.

It looks good, and give added value : instead of the classical "RT xxx", my followers will see the initial tweet with a small mention that show I've re-tweeted it.

It will be more "readable" for followers, especially in case of multiple re-tweets
We will not face anymore the "more than 140 characters" issues when re-tweeting !

The small inconvenient I see is that using this, I cannot add a comment (to explain why I re-tweeted). But maybe it's not so important !

Tweetdeck and Seesmic are struggling to be number 1 twitter application.

Yesterday was important in this match.
.
While seemic made a big buzz implementing twitter lists,  in Web version, tweetdeck failed to released a new new version for Iphone : because of a bug that made the application crashed for some users, they had to rollback, and now are waiting for apple to approve the new version.

Few thought about this : 
1 - Quality is FIRST. You can go fast but if quality is not there, you'll not win
2 - When you're fast with good quality, no need to tease a lot. Just do it, and people will come to you
3 - The apple process with a quality check and an approval has big impact on startups release strategy : while on web or private applications you can release as soon as possible, on Iphone, you do not manage the schedule...

Of course the match is not over, but today, seesmic scored some points...
