Leveraging The Social Media Crowd Surf
Social Media is one hell of a rock concert.
I absolutely refuse to put a band name to that concert as any kind of reference because I know without a doubt that I’ll be showing my age. (ignore the fact that I have a picture on my own blog, I stopped aging at 25 and there I shall stay). We’ll just say that it’s a concert for your favorite rock group so I can save a little face.

The intention is to take away the need to jump from site to site to site – users can get all their favorite feed content and site information in one central hub. Microsoft’s Fuse Labs is taking a stab at cornering the interest market on dynamic social media aggregation tools.

Every Online Business Person Needs A HUBBY
No, I’m not being sexist or stupid (although I probably have a little of both in me). I’m being totally realistic and strategic and you’d be wise to read on. Running a social media marketing company has brought me in front of numerous business owners who are desperate to increased sales in our current recession market.How they go about this is critical and one of the main reasons so many fail is that they approach social networks with the exact wrong strategy.
Here are the main features of the strategy I see most often and the one that works least:
