Earlier this week New York-based social TV company SocialGuide announced that it has entered into an agreement with Tribune Media Services (TMS), a leader in the field of entertainment information databases. I had the opportunity to ask Sean Casey, the CEO of SocialGuide, about what this partnership means for the future of the social TV service.
Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews. 
Tribune Media Services is hoping that Julia Allison can make Social Studies fun.
Social Studies is a new, weekly column from Allison, which will be made available to TMS’ newspaper and digital-media customers starting March 1.
Allison is best-known for gracing the cover of the August 2008 issue of Wired, and her columns currently appear in amNew York and Time Out New York. She has also written for Newsweek, New York magazine, The Huffington Post, and Cosmopolitan, and she appears alongside Justin Timberlake and Peyton Manning in ads for Sony’s VAIO laptop.
In Social Studies, she will focus on issues and unknowns people have with Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, and LinkedIn via the iPad, desktop, laptop, and smart phone, with initial topics including the dangers of multiple online personalities, netiquette of the Web, babies who Tweet, cyberbullying, and why everyone’s life seems so “perfect” on Facebook.
