The Day's Social Media News - a wrap up
My, my, it's been quite a day.
From the Facebook - FriendFeed acquisition talk (see my post from yesterday) to the latest news that Google is planning to shake things up with it's search rankings with a secret technology called Caffeine! That's sure to make the hairs stand on end for more than a few SEO experts and keyword dominant sites - what will they do? Wonder what they're talking about at the Search Engine Strategies Conference & Expo in San Jose this week?
Twitter had yet another attack today! What the heck is going on there? Wouldn't you think they would have stepped up security after last week's attack? If it is really that easy to take Twitter completely down (read the article at Mashable.com), and it was completly down for awhile there. What does that mean for one's social media marketing strategy? You wouldn't advertise in a newspaper that couldn't guarantee whether their paper would print this week or not. Would you? I don't think Twitter is singular or key to an online marketing strategy. If it was, Google, Facebook, and Yahoo would no longer be the dominant players online. But some of us (and you know who you are) have become Twitter addicts, tweet, re-tweet and repeat. What to do, what to do?
The latest reports from consumers are that they are shopping for more deals and better bargains, using what? You guessed it - their social networks! Read more about it here at the KDKA website out of Pittsburgh.
More later this week!
