My Social Media Mission 2008: Collecting Genuine Relationships

There has been a small buzz going around in the social media community pertaining to the quality of relationships being built online. What is the difference between on online friendship compared to an off line friendship? Can you build genuine relationships online? I recently found a video from Gary Vaynerchuk via the ProBlogger post called, How [...]

When Does Subscription Turn into a Relationship?

Recently this has been an ongoing thought in my head: Do online relationships have the same depth as relationships off line? Can they obtain the same meaningful purpose as your friends you see in day-to-day life? I have had some interesting conversations recently with people on Seesmic and Friendfeed about the friendship dynamics between online and [...]

It’s 3log Day! My 3log Day Links.

Well. This is my first year participating in Blog Day. I have been pushing through my google reader and making a detailed list of the top blogs I have read in the past couple of months. It was extremely hard for me to cut down the list to 5 but here it is: 1. Mike Fruchter [...]

The Beautifully Disturbing Aspect of FriendFeed and Social Media

I have been reading recently about the psychological aspects of social media and the online medium of communication (I will be posting in the next couple of days my thoughts and research). As many of us can attest to, we have created some relationships online with people across the country and on the other side [...]

Social Media: Ideal for Branding and Not Sales?

An interesting post flowed through my Google Alerts email this morning from Digital Response Media. The post was entitled: Social media ‘ideal for branding.’ The point of the post was to explain how the digital marketing manager of British Airways, Chris Davies, uses social media to raise the profile of his brand online. Basically, he [...]

Paradigm Shift: Social Media and Time Management

It has been a pretty busy week around here at Brandswag. Projects have been piling up and there never seems to be enough time... for anything. The past 48 hours have been pretty efficient in terms of business and extremely inefficient in the realm of Social Media. I have been writing posts every day for the better part of a couple months and yesterday was the first time I have missed in awhile. Truthfully it upsets me. I thought about continuing the posts on… Continue

Through the Doors and Beyond the Lobby...Welcome to the New Company

Recently, Vincent Hunt of SurfaceBurn wrote an absolutely brilliant post explaining Social Media entitled There is Nobody in the Lobby…Intro to Social Media. When I say brilliant, I mean absolutely, positively without a doubt brilliant. He explains social media with a visionary, and yet simple, scenario of an office building. Fro… Continue

At 9:49pm on September 2nd, 2008, Kimberly Howell said…: Kyle, Thank you for the warm welcome. Decor & You ( decorandyou.com ) is new to Indiana and we're still working on making a name for ourselves. It's nice to have forums like this to get the word out and let people know how we can help them. The timing is interesting for me to join and get your e-mail. I was at a meeting today with Linda Fitzgerald and your name came up (all good), it took me a second to place but I realized I had just received your welcome, small world. Talk soon...Kimberly

At 5:03pm on September 2nd, 2008, Darrell Day said…: Thanks for your nice comments, Kyle. Smoosier, huh? I'll have to work on that! Good news, by the way. I was just asked today to write the music for a new TV series in Minneapolis. It's called "Women of the Wild Outdoors". Hunting, fishing, etc. for women. It's almost like Seinfeld...

At 10:33am on September 2nd, 2008, Chris Hadley said…: Thanks for making me aware of this site. It was nice meeting you on seesmic last night as well.

At 2:29pm on September 1st, 2008, Chris Crowley said…: Thanks for the welcome. Still feeling my way around at this point, might holla at you if I need some pointers. Checked out the Brandswag portfolio... nifty stuff! Keep up the good work.

At 11:49am on August 30th, 2008, Hope Baugh said…: Thanks very much for the welcome, Kyle! I think I am going to have lots of questions about SI, but my first impression is...well...impressed. I am covering more of the Fringe this weekend (www.IndyTheatreHabit.com) but when I get a chance to catch my breath, I look forward to exploring SI.

Thanks again for telling me about it!

At 3:57pm on August 29th, 2008, Vincent Hunt said…: Hey Kyle -

Yep - I am an original Hoosier :). I was born and raised in Indianapolis, and moved here (Georgia) about 6 years ago because my wife is from here. When I discovered this site was in play - I HAD to be a part of it :), I am hoping to reconnect and build some new business/social relationships with my "Hometown Peeps" -

Cheers!!

At 9:58am on August 29th, 2008, Mike Hanlon said…: Thanks, Kyle. I appreciate the welcome message. I own a small business (www.apexsolutionshelp.com) and do just about any type of computer work (non-Macintosh currently) that people need. I went in and evaluated one business recently (not on this site) and helped interface some software; removing hours of unnecessary data entry. The owner was very happy and his busines can grow much more rapidly because of this simple interface. That's always my goal, so if you can lead me to businesses that are looking to move to the next level, I believe I can help them.

I haven't looked through the site extensively, but I assume it has an interesting history (how and why it was started). I will look around and learn more.

Thanks again for the welcome. Talk to you again later.

Mike

At 9:19am on August 29th, 2008, Hikmet Kutlu said…: Thanks, Kyle. I am sure I'll need help. I'm leaving for California and will be back on the 8th. Let's touch base again if you would, please.

At 11:57pm on August 28th, 2008, Mark Juleen said…: Thanks Kyle. I have added the feed from my blog "Tidbits from a Marketing Nerd" check it out @ thatguymj.blogspot.com Look forward to some conversation.
