I know what you are thinking – did I read that title right? Does it really mention the future of bacon? The short and dirty answer to that is yes. Your next question may be centered on the thought that maybe I have slipped my lid. Your answer to that one, however, is a resounding NO. I am still in charge of my faculties. What I AM trying to get a handle on, however, is a great idea on how [...]
As a fan of social media for quite some time now, I’ve followed many companies and seen their successes over the years. I put together this list of some of the “bigger players” in the social media atmosphere that are doing exceptional jobs with their campaigns. Granted, these companies have budgets that one would only dream to work with, they still can show us a few things that we can all implement into our own social media campaigns. […]
This year at SXSW I made it a goal to try to network with as many people as I could. Thanks to my new position at Posse Social Media, I was given a phone number that made this super easy. I simply meet someone who I want to connect with and instead of giving them their one millionth business card of the weekend, I give them a phone number. They text this phone number with their name and email address [...]

Recently, online review sites like Yelp and Angies’s List have been drawing a ton of attention for the power they posses when it comes to influencing consumer buying habits. With WiFi available at every turn, the power of persuasion now exists at everyone’s finger tips. The tools of this new found mobility are of course smart phones and tablets. Both provide users with the ability to leave lightening fast comments which in turn are immediately visible for all to see. [...]
Google Webmaster Tools has taken a new stronger stance. Where many companies have relied upon mildly manipulated links to help strengthen their search based marketing, now Google is cracking down. More and more users are seeing notices popping up telling them that they should keep an eye out for links that could be considered either unnatural or artificial and that may being used in order to artificially inflate PageRank. It is interesting to note that Google’s update, nicknamed Panda, was [...]
For better or worse, the new Facebook Timeline layout has now launched. As of March 30th everyone has been switched over to the new design. Now, we already know that many brands and individuals are not happy about the changes. However to make things even more complicated, these change also comes with a whole new set of rules. You see Facebook loves rules! So, as profiles and brand pages have now switched over we thought we would review the Zuckerberg [...]
For quite some time Posse Social Media has used HootSuite to post things for our own social media platforms as well as our clients’. In November 2011 we decided to explore some options and go through a demo with Argyle Social. We decided to stick with HootSuite because, well, why pay for these services when we could get the ones we needed for free? Little did we know how much we would end up needing Argyle. Earlier this month Argyle [...]
Today it was announced that Peyton Manning will be signing with the Denver Broncos as their new Quarterback. This has raised quite the buzz on all social media outlets. I even posted an update to my personal Facebook Profile about the news. The interesting thing about it though, is that the buzz isn’t so much about Peyton Manning or even the Denver Broncos really, it’s mostly about Tim Tebow. The quarterback that took social media by storm this past season [...]
Late Sunday night after the third (but prettiest) day of SXSWi, after I escaped the madness of downtown Austin, I was going through my regular daily news. I checked LinkedIn Today (an awesome news source if you’re on LinkedIn a lot) and found an article by Reuters saying that CNN was going to buy Mashable for a reported 200 million bucks! Mashable is my absolute favorite news source for any and all things social media. I follow Pete Cashmore (the [...]
