I used to do these Friday posts that were called TGIF: Twitter, Google, Internet, Facebook. A roundup of some of my fav things from around the week this week. Guess what? I’m bringing it b-b-b-back. Here we go. Please comment, it’s nice when you share, I share, we share.
Twitter:
Influence. It’s a word that gets tossed around on the internet when talking about brands and people and ROI and social media but what does that really mean? The big draw I feel used to be traffic, if you had traffic, you had influence. Thanks to Twitter and a couple other sites, traffic on your blog is not the only way to measure. There’s more that come into play, attitude, reputation, audience. Brands want to connect with people that represent the same things they stand for, people who identify with the brand make it more authentic. (A word now totally over used BTW.) For example, Virgin America is a great brand match for me, I’m a cheeky little rabble-rouser, I like to have fun and I reckon Sir RB and I will make good friends. (P.S. we meet in Dallas Dec. 1st). Klout was recently featured in the Globe & Mail and I think what they are doing is great. Here’s a snippit:
“In the fast-changing social media world, influence is becoming increasingly important as companies start to focus more on who is leading conversations as opposed to how many conversations are happening. In many respects, there is more emphasis on quantity rather than quality. “
Google:
Check out my commercial from the Smirnoff Canada Graphic party in July 19th at Andrew Richard Designs in Toronto. Been chatting NYC agency and girl’ be getting paid. I’ve done a bunch of tv/movie stuff in the past and I think I’m ready to look back down that alley and try it some more.
Internet:
Last night I had a fancy dinner with all the trimmings at Malena in Yorkville with Raymi. I was her date. It was quite lovely.
Thank you David for the fabulous VIP treatment and giving this kiwi girl your finest New Zealand lamb and pino. (The way to my heart all you potential boyfriends out there!) Raymi posted a zillion photos on her blog with details on what exactly we ate. She is such a foodie. I’m a noob in the gourmet eating department but I’m a good date.
Squid ink pasta & lobster!
Facebook:
Facebook this week added a ‘see relationship’ section where you can see all the relationship interactions. Is this cool or is this creepy? I dunno. Decide for yourself. Congrats Vaneska on the engagement too! ♥ Yay for LOVE.
In other FB news, today I was asked to be enter a Miss Canada pageant. Ahem, in the petite under 5’5 category! Yay for mini’s like me. Whatta ya reckon? Should I do it? Would not be my first pageant, that’s all I’m sayin!
Happy Friday friends 🙂
I like this TGIF.
You look hot in the commercial and you SHOULD enter the Miss canada you hottie, you.
Have a great weekend and thanks for all your love yesterday when I was feeling down like a downer. Holler.
thank you so much babe. sometimes a little note knowing someone is thinking about you can really help. you are always there when i’m feelin’ blue 🙂
Thats Vodka commercial has instant cachet! You are so visible and recognizable!
Fun!
yahoooooooooooo!
omg, OBVS you should enter the pageant! Casie Stewart for Miss Petite Canada!
Squid ink pasta .I guess at least it wasn’t bone marrow. And no you should not enter the Miss Canada pageant as it would be completely unfair to the other contestants! They wouldn’t stand a chance!
That commercial made me dance, haha.
How did you like the squid ink pasta? It is one of my favorite dishes!
I wasn’t sure about it at first but it was pretty good. I’m not really that into fishy things but I liked it.
