- Companies Using Twitter – How to be Followed by Greggs The Baker!
Posted on Friday, April 24th, 2009 in How to Use Twitter – Comments: (2)There are already loads of companies using Twitter to “market” themselves in cyberspace, even Greggs, the makers of pies, pasties and other pastry items has got in on the act, tweeting for the very first time today!I would have been none the wiser had it not been for @katebevan who found herself being followed (stalked?) by the bakery.

- Have You Checked Your Facebook Privacy Settings Recently?
Posted on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 in Web 2.0 Applications – Comments: (0)Interesting story in the press today about a landlady who discoverd her “respectable” tenants had trashed her rental property when they posted up the photos of their party on Facebook.Obviously what happened to Carolyn Lorrimer is really dreadful – not only did the tenants wreck her house but they also left utility bills and unpaid rent as well as a sizeable clean-up bill. But it did leave me wondering whether her tenants had ever checked their Facebook privacy settings?
- Is Susan Boyle the First Social Media Superstar?
Posted on Sunday, April 19th, 2009 in Social Networking – Comments: (1)OK, so maybe it’s a little premature to crown Susan as a superstar but I have been genuinely taken aback, not just by her incredible voice, but how quickly she’s become literally a “worldwide phenomenum.”Just a week ago her regional round audition was broadcast on “Britain’s Got Talent” and now at the time of blogging, her appearance has been viewed 5 million times on Youtube.She’s been endorsed via Twitter by Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher: He sent her a message saying: “This just made my night.
- Twitter “Makes You Immoral”
Posted on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 in Web 2.0 Applications – Comments: (2)Well, that’s according to scientists at the Brain and Creativity Institute over at the University of Southern California.The brain scientists tested 13 volunteers by using real-life stories to induce admiration for virtue or skill or compassion for social or physical pain.They were then tested through brain-imaging and interviews which concluded that when triggered, the brain’s response to social emotions lasted longer than the response to stories invloving a reaction to physical pain.So the brain scientists have concluded that using Twitter (and Facebook) could make us all “indifferent to human suffering” because we don’t have long enough to reflect and fully experience emotions about other’s feelings.
- Why I’ve Changed my Twitter Name
Posted on Saturday, April 11th, 2009 in Social Networking – Comments: (2)I’ve been tweeting since 2.07. Back then, I joined out of curiosity and just followed a handful of people I thought sounded interesting. Being new to Twitter, I just picked a username which was the brand name of one of my companies. Over the last six months Twitter has become the hottest web 2.0 application around and it seems just about everyone you meet has a Twitter account.When I first joined Twitter, I didn’t really know what it was all about and what made Twitter different from all the other web 2.
