Checking in on Social Media in the US is a completely different story…
During my recent trip to NYC, I couldn’t help but notice how much more mainstream Social Media is in the USA. As Adam pointed out in his recent 10 Foursquare secrets worth making public post, Foursquare [and other services] is much advanced than it is in London. Here are a few interesting things I spotted [...]
Interview with a Flickr A-Lister: meet Paola Cermak
A few months ago, I blogged about falling out of love with Flickr, as I felt Yahoo! had failed to keep up with the rapidly changing social media landscape, and Flickr users’ needs (no Twitter/Facebook integration, lack of innovations within the platform, no status updates but to name a few). I am a huge fan [...]
3 steps to decluttering your social media life
I haven’t felt the need to need to blog or tweet that much in the last couple of months… I blame my out of control social media consumption for this overload; Social Media became too much. Things are moving fast in this digital age, where we are consuming and compiling plenty of information from hundreds [...]
A brand engaged with me the other day…
As a consumer, I recommend and even occasionally express my discontent about brands via Twitter or my blog. As a social media pro, I spend most of my days managing online presences for other brands, engaging with both fans and detractors. And the other day, for the first in absolutely ages, a brand engaged with [...]
5 brands already unlocking badges on Foursquare
A growing number of people are using location-based services such as Foursquare and Gowalla, or their French counterpart Dismoioù to tell the world where they’re visiting, and offering ‘tips’ about these places. Despite only being live in the UK for 5 months, PR & Marketing Pros have already started clamouring feverishly over this technology and [...]

Fred Perry wants your story
My friend Matteo recently spotted an interesting Fred Perry social media campaign and being a huge fan of the brand, asked me if he could do a guest post about this initiative on my blog. We’re still in the middle of #bemyguest (check out my blog swap buddy, Michelle Chmielewski’s vlog right here), so I [...]
Nuances of European Social Media – Alice in Wonderland case study
I primarily rely on digital sources, mostly from my social networks, for information these days, and tend to be highly influenced by the digital content that comes my way. When I spotted Alice in Wonderland’s nicely managed Facebook fan page, I simply had to go and watch that movie. It’s not the first time social [...]
#bemyguest guest video blog from @MiChmski
Emily Cagle and Adam Vincenzini launched their #bemyguest initiative earlier this month which aims to encourage bloggers from all over the world to file for each other during the month of March. I teamed up with Pittsburgh based (soon to be Parisian) vlogger Michelle Chmielewski who recorded this video for me. Here are my original [...]
mflow – Twitter meets iTunes meet Spotify
It is becoming more and more difficult for the music industry to ignore the basic economics of the their industry: unenforceable property rights (you can’t sue everyone) and zero marginal production costs (file sharing is ridiculously easy); as long as there is a free alternative (file sharing), the price of music will have to fall [...]
PRepare for the future: an interview with Claire Tayler

On the back of this, he published an interview with up and coming PR PRO Mikinzie Stuart, to give her some well-deserved exposure. It’s now my turn to introduce [...]
