From communitymarketing.typepad.com

In 2009 there was a lot of talk about social media, but how do you know if the people giving advice are competent in the field or theorists?

In 2009 this blog I had the opportunity to innovate an event called Blog-Off contests.

These were events that offered social media enthusiasts the opportunity to be measured and show they knew how to apply several of the fundamentals critical for social media marketing effectiveness…

…What Does It Take To Be Effective In Social Media?

Sean Nelson - "The results I achieved were based on tapping into what I call the 4 C's of social media; Communities, Content, Conversation and Conversion." "When it came to the contest I tapped into my networks and benefited from the credibility of the last two years." Email. Blog. LinkedIn.


Sam Diener - "The key to building community is to interact with your readers through your content. Content writers seem to forget that there is an actual PERSON reading their copy. You can't just talk at people... your content has to have a conversation with the reader." Email. Blog. LinkedIn.

Tim Ruffner- "...I tapped into my personal network for input on my writing skills before making it available to my industry contacts. This collaborative process helped me create even more impactful and useful content." Key social networks used included, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Delicious, Stumble Upon and YouTube. Email.

How UOB's Paper Trail Amplifies IT Greatest Security Threat

UOB required you to do everything on paper. If you want to change your mobile number for your banking account with them or for your credit card, you need to fill up a form. Yet, this paper trail represented a potential security fail for the bank - Human Error. So a bitcoin expert walked into UOB to open a bank account. The bank employee had to print a form from a online pdf document to fill in this bitcoin expert's particulars. When it came to entering the bitcoin expert's email, that's when the forgotten art of handwriting was the most obvious of the digital generation. Wrote Robert Capodieci, My name is Roberto Capodieci, as most of you know. and my email address is very obvious to decode. It is not a p4l_l337_s0u1@gmail.com, but it is a more obvious roberto@capodieci.com, thing that, right after reading my name in the same form, should come out easy. Still, a data entry personnel of the UOB bank (or of a service provider the UOB bank uses) entered it as roberto

NEL Train Fault Shouts Lack Of Crisis Communication

The North-East Line train fault of 11 April 2018 was my virgin experience of a rush hour train fault since I moved to Punggol. One would have thought that with the number of train faults experienced by the North-East Line operator, SBS Transit, they would have improved the communications and handling of train faults.

Singapore radio personality in "hot soup" for reporting train delays based on Tweets?

Update - Hossan Leong has commented on this post to say " I'm not in trouble pls don't blow this out of proportion. Let it rest. It's getting silly. Thank you for your love and concern and I apologize for any misunderstanding." ~  Hossan Leong. Hossan Leong, a Singapore radio personality for The Gold Breakfast Show on Gold 90.5, was censured today for reporting on train delays on the Circle Line because he based the information on Tweets, rather than waiting for the official reports from the Circle Line operator, SMRT.  It is, however, unknown if the "warning" came from Mediacorp producers or SMRT. Tweeted Hossan Leong ,  OK...I reported it on air and now I'm getting into trouble for it?? The CC line is DOWN rite? I did nothing wrong rite? The SMRT Circle Line was reported to be down this morning during peak hours and started as early as 7am. However, local news only received official statement was received by the mainstream media at about 9
