Twittervision

24 Mar


Twittervision is an animated geographic visualization of tweets created by David Troy, an experimental programmer/designer and entrepreneur. Today, his Twittervision creation is being promoted as one of the Twitter definitions:


You can follow David on Twitter (@davetroy) or even follow his @twittervision page. There’s even a Twittervision Facebook application. With Twittervision you can update your location via Twitter, and track the location of your friends. When they tweet, they appear on the Twittervision application at the location from which they are located (or say they are located) along with their tweet. Pretty exciting right? If anything, it’s an addictive little tool! Try it out!

The Future of Social Media Marketing

17 Feb

Abrams Research just came out with their social media survey today. Check it out here. Here’s an abridged version:

  • Most people would recommend businesses use Twitter over any other social media site: 40% to just 15% for Facebook
  • But – they’d pay for Facebook over any other site for their own use
  • MySpace: DEAD LAST FOR BOTH. Ouch.
  • When asked which company was using social media best (their pick), top choices were Zappos, Obama and CNN (also NYT, NPR, Dell, Jetblue, plus a WineLibrary shout-out)

Check out the unabridged version for all the juicy details!

All of this data kind of makes you wonder… what is the future of social media marketing? Any thoughts?
