by Laurel Papworth on March 16, 2009 · 3 comments

It’s the little things that set off customers into becoming anti -brand vigilantes. *laughs* This guy was taking a video outside Trader Joes, an American assorted goods store, by the look of it. :

Monetize: Social Media Proprietors

by Laurel Papworth on December 16, 2008 · 2 comments

.. so what is a “social media proprietor”? And how is s/he different from a blogger?
Dunno, don’t ask me. Google it….
uh oh, we are both in trouble. The only response from Google on “social media proprietor(s)” are MY presentations. So either they don’t exist, have another name or … I’m the first one to document [...]

Australia: Corporate Social Media

by Laurel Papworth on July 29, 2008 · 6 comments

That title Corporate Social Media looks funny doesn’t it? I mean, some people still think of ‘social‘ as ‘party‘. Like, Corey from Melbourne on MySpace.

Raping the Web 2.0 Australian Community

by Laurel Papworth on December 5, 2007 · 25 comments

*warning potential linkbait post coming up. Heh.
I’m noticing a disturbing trend of large well known companies who invite passionate Web 2.0 evangelists, or knowledgeable bloggers or bumbling social network strategists (me) to “meetings” to discuss “potential” working arrangements.
These companies then proceed to question, prod, probe and otherwise force themselves on the (usually) solo operator or [...]

Australia: Bebo and the case for bloggers

by Laurel Papworth on June 13, 2007 · 2 comments

I get confused when PR people launch a service ignore niche communities online. But it’s addles my poor brain even more when it’s a Web 2.0 service provider ignoring We Media.

I bought this month’s Marketing magazine. Dunno why, I got plenty to read online. I just found a really really great article on radio in it.
