One of my followers pointed me to ModCloth, an online women’s clothing and accessories company. ModCloth focuses on independent and vintage-inspired fashion founded by two sweethearts from their college dorm room.
Since then I’ve had my eyes on them. ModCloth, in my opinion, ticks all the boxes as to what it truly means to be a social business and they are a great example for every brand to learn from.

A laptop is one of the most vital pieces of technology. Get yourself one! Why? Because you deserve it.
I used to love my desktop. I had a laptop too, but I prefer my desktop because it feels good to have something anchored and unmoving. I’ve since migrated to love laptops due to my work schedule.
Recently, I was approached by Toshiba to be part of their influencer program and test their Toshiba Portégé Z830 Ultrabook. I never really knew how good it was until I really used it. Today, everyone in my family loves it and has been using it.

That is what Acura (or whoever is behind the account) about to learn as they “spammed” the wrong person, David Meerman Scott author of several marketing books like Real Time Marketing and PR. (great book and this is not an affilate link)
Oh.. I think its going into his book in the future too.
What happened? Well lets say they have not read any of my memo on personalizing tweets and they took the easy way out by using a tool called Local Response, a tool that helps clients to send tweets or @mentions to people in real time based on checkins, hashtags/keywords etc.

Other than the Smartphone, the laptop is the second most versatile piece of technology that exists today. With the ever-growing range of portable computers that allow business owners to bring their work where ever they are, we tend to forget that the laptop is an amazing technological feat.
The best thing about my work is that I am able to work as long as I have a computer and a stable internet connection. In fact, I don’t need an office. Most of the time I am either working on my desk in my bed room or elsewhere.
Here are my favourite places to blog/work from:

A Twitter contest is a great way to not only generate buzz for your brand but also to grow your followers whom are interested in what you have to offer.
A Twitter contest is pretty straight forward. Ideally, you get people to share tweets with their followers in return for a chance to win a prize.

“You don’t have to want to be a writer. You are a writer. You just need to write.” – Jeff Goins
I was lucky enough to be one of the first 50 people who had the opportunity to read Jeff Goins, “You Are A Writer” book a week before it was released to the public (it’s out now).
If you don’t know who Jeff Goins is, I recommend that you take a look at his blog. I stumbled onto Jeff’s blog a couple of months back and I have been an avid reader ever since.

I remember attending my first social media conference back in December 2010. Days before the conference, I had butterflies in my stomach because I’ve not been to ANY conferences at all. I imagined so many weird scenarios happening in my head.
The worst part is, I made a huge mistake by not having enough business cards with me during the conference. It wasn’t a pleasant experience getting a card and not giving one in return.
Well, luckily I’ve managed to keep in touch with a couple of people whom I met back then. Right Zilkry?

Oh noo… google+ is dead!

Recently Stuart Duncan, my favourite G+ user, shared his two cents on why people felt Google+ is dead.
It made PERFECT sense.

Yup, we’ve talked about it. Facebook has finally turned all of our Facebook pages into the latest timeline format. If you have not read much about the timeline yet, I would recommend that you read some of our previous posts on this topic. One of them includes what you need to know about the cover.
Furthermore, because the timeline takes up such a huge ‘retail’ space, getting a timeline that stands out for your brand is crucial.
Here are some of my favorites so far.
