SOCIAL MEDIA CAFE – 23.4.08
Yesterday morning I attended a gathering of free minds and souls, a breed of entrepreneurs that are generally not fixed to any particular desk (quite literally for Rob from Qype) or to any organisation or company, the people I found myself with were mainly freelancers or working for small start up agencies keen to utilise ’social media’ and web technology.
Some pretty forward thinking people then?! Well, yes, this group of people are looking forward with a mix of excitement and apprehension, never before have so many or has it been so easy for people to work so freely, get paid for just what is going on in their head or combine ‘work’ with play so neatly.
Conversations therefore lent towards the hypothetical, the crazy and ingenious, the Social Media Club offers a great space where these new ideas can build. cheers Lloyd.
Personally, it was lovely to see Mirera again who was present at our Mobile Marketing seminar with 02 and has introduced me to qik (see the intro to yesterdays meeting) , which I just love and am endeavouring to identify an avenue into my clients business strategy. It was also great to speak to Rob at Qype and I’m sure we will be in touch soon re. UGC for destinations (that’s what we (FOX KALOMASKI – MOVING MILLIONS) do, get people to places, countries, shopping areas, resorts, regions) to improve our brands communication channels with local business’. Very exciting.
And a quick shout to unltd world which sounds like an interesting proposition where resources such as web developers can be found depending on your requirements, and also based on your preferences a’la Last FM.
see you again soon

I’ve been working a lot recently on the emerging world of mobile phone marketing. It’s an interesting place to be working right now, there is so much to discover, which is ‘fun’ but it seems to me that with each new digital channel, which has to of course be compatible with its predecessor and the myriad of duplicate entities supplying the same service(facebook/myspace/bebo/yahoo chat/IM/google chat etc etc), we are forever creating a burgeoning web of JUST online communications tools.
Everyone is welcome at this party which is one of the greatest bits about web 2.0 – however I now have millions of passswords to this web aggregator and that photo storage site and so on, which means my patience and memory is being spread across numerous log-ins and interfaces.
What I need is one access point!?
As our mobiles sync up to the web and of course our accounts we are multiplying the channels of communications and further the touch points of username and password entry! Arrrgh!
Is there something out there that can manage all my accounts and log me into all my independent sites?
