Get social!

Lots of people have been asking us about social marketing, and what brands and services enable us to share 'stuff' with each other, good question. Down (across?) here in Sydney we ran a training session on social media last week, which sparked a really interesting debate, and Paul and I will be heading up to Perth in early February to do it there too - so watch out for that.

In the meantime, we thought it might be nice to share with you some very simple 'how to's' on some of this technology because if you are using it, the easier it is for you to talk about it, and the better you understand the digital landscape. These video instructions from the guys at CommonCraft are generally a few minutes long and they explain stuff in spectacularly easy to understand plain English, so even a luddite like Nick Cleaver can get it.... Here's 3 minutes on social bookmarking via Delicious, cool:

Twitter is also causing a lot of chatter at the moment, but what is it? why do people bother? what does it mean? Again, watch this video - just 2 minutes long, and you'll be an expert in no time:

the best thing to do is to sign up for these services. Delicious is a truly brilliant service from a work perspective, and allows us to access our favourite information wherever we are, and find other people's bookmarks on exactly the same stuff. No brainer.

Comments welcome; you can now make comments on this blog without signing in by the way, so let's get a debate going.

Thanks all

Nic and the Digital Team
