twitter

I'm not sure if they care or if they more concerned with damage control, but Network Solutions actually responded to a negative twitter post I made today. I really got a kick out of it, but since they are an online company it's nice to see that they are utilizing social media from a brand control standpoint.

Not that I need to rant about it, but I've become slightly addicted to twitter and much to my dismay something is technically wrong as always. At least this time it's not that damn flying whale.

I signed up for Ping.fm today. It allows you to set your status or create a blog and send it to multiple social networking sites such as MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and several others, all at once. I've found it useful since I just started using Plurk and continue to use Twitter. You can sign up today by using the code "tastyping".

Google Twitter Down and you'll get the answer.

The website will take you to a white page with one of two words: YES or NO. Click on the word and find yourself in the MP3 section of Amazon. The song: Celebration by Kool & the Gang, which was the groups only #1 hit. What are they trying to say here? [Raise eyebrow].

MySpace, Facebook, Gmail, Twitter and the list goes on; trying to keep up and maintain all my junk accounts friends status got to be a little overwhelming. At any given time I'd have tabs to an array of communication tools and personal blogs just to stay in touch with friends and family, so I decided it was time to consolidate.

To Ning or Not to Ning - that's the question around here. Who has the time to join (or start, for that matter) another social network? I have enough trouble finding time to twitter.

The subject did come up in a marketing meeting the other day and while some of us thought Ning was dead there were others who thought it just might be gearing up to take over as one of the best advertising opportunities out there.

I may just be one of them.
