Welcome to my blog

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.

Before you jump put a stick in

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?

XFactor - That was the worst performance I've ever heard. Truly awful.

#xfactor was trending on November 7th, 2009. XFactor is yet another "talent" show where Simon Cowell gets to crush the dreams of aspiring singers having a battle of vocals to see who is worthy for a signing contract. The show is a British TV show that will began airing in early November on Saturdays and Sundays.

Here it is, I've re-tweet in twitter.com. Looks cool

via twitter.com

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 !

Seesmic 1 - Tweetdeck 0 : Why quality is always 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...
