The Top 10 Ranking Colleges for Social Media

October 13, 2011 – 2:27 pm

Social media analysts Klout recently published a list of the Top 10 colleges ranked by their influence.  Klout originally just measured Twitter influence but can now incorporate Facebook Pages, YouTube and a variety of other platforms. We don’t know if they compared non US colleges or not to get these scores (as they are all American institutions), but these are an interesting starting point for any of you who are looking to build a bigger Twitter influence and would like… Read More »

Ticker on Facebook – a few points from us

September 21, 2011 – 6:00 pm

Twitter is on fire at the moment with lots of people trending with #newfacebook, and as usual it’s an entertaining read.  From my personal use of Facebook it’s a certainty that any change in the platform will be met with fierce resistance in the form of status updates, followed by the creation of pointless groups boldly demanding that Facebook be returned to it’s previous state. One of the biggest changes today is the addition of “Ticker” – a LIVE mini… Read More »

Problems with Facebook’s SUBSCRIBE button – and their implications for Public Figures

September 15, 2011 – 5:14 pm

Facebook have begun rolling out a new (and quite major) feature to the standard personal users profile…  it is now possible to “Subscribe” to a users public updates, allowing people to see content shared by the user but without having to become friends.  Just click subscribe, and – hey presto – the stuff appears in your news feed as if they were one of your friends.  Now, I’ve read a number of posts about this, but people seem to be… Read More »

10:10 We’re committed. Shouldn’t you be?

September 2, 2009 – 5:22 pm

A slight tangent to the usual online recruitment stories and thoughts is the fact that we have signed up to the 10:10 Project to commit to cutting our carbon emissions. We are now a… You can follow any twitter activity with the #1010 tag. We are a small online recruitment business, so our impact is already pretty negligable, but we’ll do our best to try to do more…By putting this post out to our friends and subscribers, we hope to encourage… 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 »

Further Education College – Social Media Strategy

July 7, 2009 – 6:38 am

Hey, Don here again. We’ve just done some pretty nifty social media strategy for one of the Further Education Colleges and I wanted to talk about our experiences and pass on some stuff we picked up along the way. Interested to know if you have any thoughts or ideas to what we came across. Just quickly, it’s probably best to explain how and why a flat fee online recruitment business gets involved in social media strategy. Simple really, it’s all… Read More »

July 6, 2009 – 8:48 am

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 »
