Winklevoss Twins Want to Sue Facebook Again
Posted by TJ Walker in Communications, Media, reputation management, Social Media on December 31, 2010
$65 million isn’t enough! The Winklevoss Twins want to sue Facebook for even more money. They made a firm agreement to accept the $65 million a few years back and be on their way. But now they’ve changed their mind and want to cancel the agreement. Isn’t it a bit unseemly, even un-gentlemanly to break one’s word Misters Winklevoss? If this is all about honor, aren’t you behaving without honor?
These boys better how they never face a jury. Two incredibly rich, tall, good-looking guys who grew up in Greenwich and get to spend their time being medal-winning Olympic atheltes dont elicit much sympathy, even if they do have a good point or tow.
Is the focus On Facebook Fans a Waste of Time?
Posted by TJ Walker in advertising, blogging, Communications, Media, reputation management on December 31, 2010
Many big companies are concluding it’s a waste of time to go after raw big numbers of Facebook fans. I agree. It’s better to engage 10,000 fans on a regular basis and have real conversations with them than it is to have a million fans who never come back a second time.
AdAge looks at how major companies are trying to build more meaningful fan pages here.
The Next Big Media Form After The Newspaper will Be…Nothing
Posted by TJ Walker in blogging, Communications, Media, News, publishing on December 31, 2010
Nothing in the sense of a distinct new format like an iPad ap. Instead, the focus is on content, audio video or text. People in the media business, myself included, have to focus on creating compelling content that people want, not on finding a new container.
Old People Now Using Social Media Almost as Much as the Young
Posted by TJ Walker in blogging, Communications, Social Media on December 27, 2010
Social media has now morphed from the “new high technology” thingy that you people like to dabble with in order to feel cool to simply “normal.” It’s become normal to use social media in the way it’s been normal to use a cell phone the last 10 years and normal to use a regular phone for 50 years before that.
The other trend? Blogging, at least at stand alone blogging sites, is dropping among the young.
Cher Lloyd is Most Talked About New Celebrity of the Year
Posted by TJ Walker in celebrities, Communications, Media, media relations, reputation management, Social Media on December 26, 2010
This is according to Perez Hilton based on social media mentions and presence. I have to confess I didn’t know who Cher Lloyd was. I gather she can sing, and the one photo I saw of her she was quite pretty. What do you think? Does she have something special to make her have a long and a varied career? Let me know what you think. More at Perez Hilton.

Why Perez Hilton TV is the Future of Television
Posted by TJ Walker in Communications, Media, podcasting, Social Media, Technology on December 20, 2010
Take a look at a recent episode of Perez Hilton TV. Whether you care about celebrities and Hollywood Gossip is irrelevant. The key thing is that he has a tiny studio, a simple two camera shoot, a minimum of editing, a simple graphic backdrop and a one guest, one-host format. And he is leveraging his existing traffic from his blog consisting of text and pictures to his newer medium of video. This is the future, regardless of your industry or niche.

New Twitter Study shows half of people on it NEVER read anyone else’s Tweets

Cartoon Characters are being used frequently as Facebook Profile Photos
Posted by TJ Walker in blogging, Media, public relations, reputation management, Social Media on December 5, 2010
This is a bad idea for any adult who is trying to build a personal brand within an industry. But it’s also a dumb idea for kids. If you met that cute boy or girl at a party 3 nights ago, and they met 5 other people that night, how will they remember who you are when you connect on Facebook? A simple head shot is still best for people of any age. More at ABC.
