For those who follow me on Twitter, it’s no news that I simply adore Simply Measured. Not only do I love the company ethos, their ready-to-help attitude, and their general friendliness, but their tool shines through and through, and it definitely stands out as an exemplary social media analytics tool.

Jelly = Search + Social?
I call 2014 the “Year of the Ephemeral Networks“. We had a glimpse of this back in 2013 with Snapchat, Whisper, and ultimately Bitcoin too (in concept). On the cusp of 2014 we already have a new player to set the example: Jelly, a new service from Twitter co-founder Biz Stone. The concept is pretty […]

First Twitter “Fun-versation” of 2014: Sainsbury’s x Marty Lawrence
2014 is off to a great start – first Jelly, a few hacks here and there, and now the first Twitter “fun-versation” (is that now a word?) involving brands on social media.

Where Does Social Media Sit?

When An Employee Leaves: A Social Media “Leaving Checklist”
I’ve asked around at work and done some research online too, and I saw that there are set procedures that outline what to do when an employee leaves a company. However, there’s no checklist that tells social media managers what to do when one of their employees/colleagues suddenly leaves. On a good case scenario, the […]

Facebook Changes for 2014: Who’s Ready?

However, amidst all the changes, it seems like quite a few people (and companies) have forgotten about one key change that’s happening sometime soon on Facebook. No, not just the supposed change in reach, but the change in Facebook Insights that may potentially change the […]

HootSuite Challenge Day 9-10: #ThanksFor5
I took HootSuite through the hardest test on Tuesday – the Social Media London test. Now, I blog and live-tweet for Social Media London, the biggest Social Media meetup in London. The main tools I use when live-tweeting during this event are Tweetdeck and Tweetbot (although I later ditched Tweetbot for Tweetdeck, as it’s more […]

HootSuite Challenge Day 8: ‘Obrigado’
While writing the title for this post, I realised that this “10-day challenge” is soon coming to an end. Despite all the frustrations that I’ve had with HootSuite (the free version), it actually saddens me that this trial is coming to an end. (Not that I can’t use HootSuite after this trial…)
