Look Who’s playing TAG with Twitter, it’s Facebook
Want to play “Tag Your It?”
Well, in a recent article posted September 14th, 2009, and hot off the press, PCWorld’s Tony Bradley stated that:
Facebook has just introduced the latest feature in its ongoing evolution to blur the lines between social networking and search engine- tags. The new ‘@’ tags allow users to tag other users in posts and integrates a whole new realm of search capabilities.
In the article Tony mentions that they borrowed it from Twitter. But I think it may be just a ploy to make it more like their rivals and to try and get a jump on Twitter search capabilities.
Tony goes on to say that the use of the “@” tag will allow Facebook users to place the tag before another users name, so when other users click on the user tag they can see all the posts of the other user as well.
Now this may be a good thing for Facebook, but I wonder what Twitter has to say about the matter.
Also, I don’t know if I would want to see all the posts from another user on Facebook or not. Oh well, I’d like to know your take on the matter. So please post your comments below.

Can Twitter, Facebook, MySpace become addicting?
Can Twitter, Facebook, MySpace become addicting?
Hey Guy’s and Gal’s,
Do you spend alot of time on social networking sites? Well, Ben Alexander thought so, when he recently admitted himself into ReStart. Who or what is ReStart? well after doing a little digging I found an article, on Fox News in my local area where Nicholas K. Gerands from the Associated Press writes:
The center, called ReSTART, is somewhat ironically located near Redmond, headquarters of Microsoft and a world center of the computer industry. It opened in July and for $14,000 offers a 45-day program intended to help people wean themselves from pathological computer use, which can include obsessive use of video games, texting, Facebook, eBay, Twitter and any other time-killers brought courtesy of technology.
You can read the whole story here.
So, before we close, I’d like to know, how much time do you devote to social media, and how can you tell the difference between it becoming an addiction, or just a part of your marketing plan.
Until next time, be on guard with Twitterwatchdog.

What is Your Social Media Plan?
What Is Your Social Plan of Attack?
When working with businesses on putting together a social media campaign, I often find that the number one issue that they face is simply just being too “confused.”
What I mean by that is, many of these businesses have the intelligence, determination, money, employees and plan of action to bring together a strong social media campaign. However, what they all seem to lack is a solid plan on who actually is going to what, and when they are going to roll out their campaign. Read the rest of this entry »
