Interesting things, links and themes that don’t justify their own post (yet) but still worth sharing:

2009 will be the Year of the Re-Tweet

Seeing the RT or ‘re-tweet’ as a viral marketing vehicle is not necessarily a new concept, but as Twitter seems set to take off in 2009, this is worth thinking about. Of course, the success of this is dependent on numbers/influence of followers. Lance mentions two useful tools that could help: Retweetrank.com and Retweetradar.com

The Euro and the problem with the music industry

I really enjoy Weber Shandwick CEO Colin Byrne’s blog.  Whatever your political leanings, his take on the polictical landscape is usually spot on, informed by his obvious experience in this field. This post is slightly random in terms of the themes it covers. But I agree with much of what he says about the Euro and also about the state on the music industry. Having worked in the music industry in the past, I totally agree that social media presents a great way for artists that don’t want to go down the ‘Simon Cowell’ route. And by this I don’t just mean Myspace. This subject (with an obvious US slant) was also covered on a recent TWIT podcast - about half way through.

About

This is my story. I've always been fascinated by the internet. My first passion was music and I studied a music degree at Birmingham University. But once graduated I quickly went back to the web working as a digital marketer. I also ran a web startup for a few years. In the need of a new challenge, I turned to the world of PR and now work as an Account Director at EML Wildfire. My interest is primarily looking at how PR professionals can make the most of the web and digital marketing. This blog contains my thoughts and things I find inspirational.
