This app sounds great and will definitely come in handy for me and my 3 twitter accounts. I love all the new apps I just wish I knew about them! HINT HINT (marketing issue) but anyways, I am going to download this now. Thanks for the tip!

Comment on Tips to Take Your Website Mobile by Britany Linton SMC

This is my favorite post thus far. I completely agree with all of the main points to get your website mobile but my favorite ones are 3 & 4. No Redundant Data Entry, and BIG buttons simple page. Many websites I visit are so repetitive and have nothing to do with why I am looking on the website in the first place. I also think the idea of having big buttons and a simple page can really appeal to the older generation (e.g. my dad) who needs big buttons to read and a simple page that he can easily navigate around. If the page is too confusing, for anyone, they are going to get overwhelmed and not even look at.

I love this! I am always wondering when to send an email to a potential employer. It totally makes sense to send it in the early morning that’s when I check my email. I completely agree with this post and everyone else who commented on it. Note to self: send your emails in the morning if you want to be read.

Comment on Social Media Tools- What’s Best For Your Community? by Britany Linton SMC

I completely agree with this post that social media is a huge part of businesses today and how businesses really need to figure out who they are as a brand and what they want to portray to their customers. Social media networks today are so crucial to relate to the current generation and potential young clients/customers.

Comment on Build Brand Loyalty Through Community Outreach by James Palmer

Community involvement is very important to active consumers. It’s attractive to purchase (essentially making an investment) in a company that reinvests in its community. A perfect example is Patron. It was once my favorite tequila. This is no longer the case. It is extremely common for alcohol producers to be very active in safe alcohol consumption awareness and other community activities in the communities they are produced in. Patron (produced in Oakland) is noticeable absent in the Oakland community. The businesses of Oakland have taken notice. Stores and bars charge more for Patron than any other tequila (even Don Julio, a superior tequila) in an effort to get consumers to choose a different brand. A lesson for all brands.

Picking and properly (with an emphasis on properly) utilizing social networks is crucial. It is how the current generations receive the bulk of their information and where the make the majority of their purchasing decisions. I don’t think I could have said it any better.

Comment on LA’s Roxy Theatre promotes itself with Social Media by James Palmer

Another clear example of Social Networking aking over not just advertising but the world. One has to wonder what’s next. To be clear, since tone is lost in text, I’m not saying this in a bad way, but rather a matter of fact (maybe even a bit of excitment).

Definitely great information, although I fear it seems to be on the side of common sense. Though, one can never be too careful these days. Web 2.0 (interactive internet such as blogs, social networks, etc), has made communication so easy and effortless than an e-mail blast almost seems to be a thing of the past like putting a job posting in a newspaper). Personally, I believe the question shouldn’t be when to send an email to supportive, but rather IF an email should be sent at all. I know most promotional emails (regardless of the time of day or frequency) fall of deaf ears.

Great application to get things done quick and easily. Nothing is a bigger turn of from social media than needing to search around applications to make things happen. One of the key things about social media is that is is quick, quick, quick. And this app definitely help keep that a reality.

very applicable information. Point 4 was the most significant to me. When I access a website using my iphone, and it is hard to navigate because the layout isn’t designed to be easy to use with two thumbs, i dont waste a minute of my time trying to figure it out, but rather just forget about using the website.
Another thing that I thought about, and was slightly referenced in the article, is that people are often looking for different things when accessing a website via their mobile phone. they are probably not going on the website to brows through pages of pictures or past event, but rather to get quick information (like phone number or directions or times of opening). While both options should be available, the more relevant information should definitely be more immediately accessible to the user.
