Timeline for College Pages and Similar Types of Brands

October 10, 2011 – 3:30 pm

(A Net Natives Speculation) By now you may well have heard of the new Facebook Timeline feature. It’s a super revamp of the classic profile and is much more content-rich, allowing you to navigate by year/month, area, and so on.  For the users, it’s undoubtedly going to add to the whole Facebook experience. At this stage – it is NOT known which features, if any, Facebook will be implementing. But nevertheless we are excited about the potential changes and benefits… Read More »

Can Twitter end the recession?

August 19, 2009 – 8:25 am

Twitter’s is never out of the news, whether with rallying cries against those damn Yankees criticising the NHS or the power of citizen journalism helping mobilise radical thought in Iran. But I can’t help feeling its mighty PR machine has missed a trick by not ascribing Twitter’s influence over the gradual global recovery from recession. Twitter has been perfectly placed during this period of slow trade and rising unemployment to be used as the effective business tool for the quick witted. Twitter’s… Read More »

thoughts on setting up an employee referral scheme

July 17, 2009 – 3:31 pm

I wanted to put down some thoughts about employee referrals as there doesn’t seem to be a lot of information or help out there for businesses. Probably because it erodes the revenues of recruitment companies and the agencies charge a fortune to put something in place. Well, nuts to that. If it’s worth knowing, it’s worth sharing… We know that sometimes the best person is the friend of the friend already working for you. You just need to make sure you are… Read More »

Social Bookmarking. What is it? and Why should you use it?

July 14, 2009 – 5:53 pm

Real quick one this, but thought I would share a little about social bookmarking which I personally use and always recommend to clients as part of their social media strategy. All it does, is simply allow you to save your bookmarks online, tag them with relevant keywords and share them with others (hence the “social” part). My favourites are hardly unique: • Delicious – for all websites Net Natives’ Delicious Page. and • Digg – a social bookmarking site designed… Read More »

Social Media and Recruitment

April 29, 2009 – 12:25 pm

This is just a small post this one, but one I thought would be timely considering that the focus for the onrec conference is social media and that there is a new social media in recruitment conference soon to be held. I think it is interesting that for each of these conferences there will be no external industry guides to provide some factual ideology and thoughts. I would have thought that a sensible debate on the legal raimifactions needs to be addressed –… Read More »
