In the last few months, I’ve been amazed at some of the innovative ways companies are aggregating and using information from social networks. From Bravo’s use of Foursquare to We’re All Fans, wow. It seems like the economy has slowed the innovation of “new” and allowed marketers to really harness what’s out there. And, harness it quicker than ever before.
Surprisingly, tonight’s Grammy’s was the first event that twitter both spoiled and enhanced for me. Everything online, from the MSN homepage to twitter was reporting and commenting on the Grammy’s in real time. The comments made me excited and frustrated. I wanted to see the outfits and performances my “friends” were commenting on. But alas, being on the West Coast, I was three hours behind. For me, it was an interesting and new experience. And yes, it made me wish I was living on the East Coast that much more
One of the coolest parts of the Grammy’s was their use of social media. An institution that’s been around for 52 years continues to innovate and stay relevant. From an iPhone app to We’re All Fans, kudos to the marketers behind the show… We’re All Fans was one wicked cool and beautifully done aggregater of what fans we’re saying.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. I know, you can probably see the smoke
We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met, but sometimes our expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You’ve got to wonder why we cling to our expectations because the expected is just what keeps us steady, standing still, the expected is just the beginning. The unexpected is what changes our lives.
I want the unexpected. I want the challenge. I want to always be happy, but never satisfied enough to sit on my laurels. I want chaos and passion. I want to always be busier than I can handle. I don’t want everything to add up. I want good things to fall apart, so better things can fall together. And, if that’s truly what I want, then I need to take the leap again, and build a new set of wings on the way down.
Vulva jewelry. A find thanks to Regertsy. They’re customized designs. Just send a picture. In an odd way, some are kind of pretty. I don’t think I could wear a depiction of my vulva around my neck though. Maybe if I had a girlfriend I’d wear hers.
This picture. Totally stupid. It was the only funny thing I could find the other day.
