Where I've been this week in the social web's places and spaces:
- In this post Leyla Arsan describes how elf, a beauty destination site, does not have a traditional marketing budget but uses social media marketing including a "seven day a week blogging rule"!
- See @darmano's 2010 "most important" social media trends, and the comments which all-in-all are not a rave review.
- You can catch up with, and make your mind up about, conflicting reports on social media, and also catch my last post on the same.
- If you are on Linkedin check the Channels of the Future Group discussion "What brands will disappear in 2010".
- Travel group Nomads is using social media to offer free business advice to other travel groups and businesses.
- If you've time to waste you could join the social media expert A-list at The Brand Builder all tearing their hair out because a group dared to run a business offering a certificate in social media.
- Facebook announces new privacy plans - "to remove regional networks completely and create a simpler model for privacy control where you can set content to be available to only your friends, friends of your friends, or everyone".
- Are social networks more likely to make people complain online?
- Using Twitter to predict sales from the buzz - a WSJ report on a case study makes interesting reading.
