Is Facebook Really a Good Lead Cultivation Environment?

Tom Johansmeyer — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 16:20:33 +0000

I know, I know: I’ve been a bit pessimistic about Facebook marketing lately. The reason for this, frankly, is because so many people do it ineffectively. They seem to think there is inherent value in social media engagement. Well, the cold, hard truth of the matter is that there isn’t. There’s no inherent value in any form of marketing. At the end of the day, everything we do should be measurable, and what sucks should be cut. Part of this process is figuring out if you’re using your tools appropriately.

Scam Alert: Don’t Trust Emails From Apple About iPhone5

Bilal Hameed — Wed, 25 May 2011 09:20:37 +0000

Fraudulent emails have started surfacing that announce the imminent availability of the new iPhone 5GS from coming Friday. These emails are part of a new wave of phishing scams and are likely to be an attempt to hack Apple IDs and passwords.

The Apple ID of a user is his/her core identity in the eyes of Apple Inc, and any cyber criminal can get to enjoy all the services that Apple has to offer on your behalf. The hacker would have unlimited access to all of user apps and can utilize the user’s money (which is some cases is a lot) to buy new ones.

In yesterday’s post I discussed how new mobile communication capabilities brought about by smartphones and wireless networks are changing customer expectations about when and how they should be engaged. I wove the story around my experience with retailers that I interact with frequently, but it’s important to note that the brand-customer relationship is changing across all kinds of vertical industries: banks and financial services, healthcare, media and publishing, and many more. This holds true for interactions that happen in a sales or marketing context, as well as interactions happening in a customer service or support context.

I like to shop.

More than that, I like to find bargains for high-end designer clothes and handbags that I might not easily afford if I had to pay full retail. So I subscribe to a lot of the online closeout retailers that feature designer products at discount prices – sites like Rue La La, Gilt Groupe, Ideeli, Hautelook and several others.
