Even my mom has a Facebook account
posted by Jason Fleck @ January 14th, 2009
Earlier last week, my mother - who I love dearly - signed up for a Facebook account. I found out - not by a phone call, but through that automated email from Facebook (that we all love…) stating she had added me as a friend.
Being intrigued, but against my better judgment, I accepted her friend request and navigated over to her profile page. She had already added all my other siblings along with her old college roommate she hasn’t talked to in the past thirty years!
Honestly, I was surprised to see her on Facebook, but is it really that strange? Social Media is becoming a larger part of our everyday lives. It’s not just those in their 20s or 30s - the baby boomer generation is becoming more technologically savvy too and it’s time we - as a culture - realize that. They’re starting blogs and hosting podcasts. They’re surfing through the archives at YouTube and submitting their own videos. They’re now interacting together through ways other than a phone call.
These people, just like my mom, are your customers, employees and competitors. They’ve embraced the fact that social media exists and it’s now a part of their daily lives. When are you going to put your commercials in front of these people on YouTube or alert them of a new product or event on Facebook? The answer is now. These tools greatly increase your brands exposure and we can show you how it’s done.

Microsoft is catching up with the future
posted by Jason Fleck @ December 3rd, 2008
The world is an ever changing, ever evolving place – even at Microsoft. Earlier today, Ina Fried, a writer for CNET, posted this article on how Microsoft is emerging into the social media market. In her article, Ina states:
Microsoft has started to roll out a series of changes, outlined in November, that give Windows Live a more social networking-like feel. Windows Live staples such as Spaces, Events, and the home page get a new look, while Microsoft is also putting special emphasis on group, profile, and photo pages.
These changes to Windows Live make it more manageable to grow a community around an already existing website and also allow its users to more easily make contacts and connect with others.
…and oh, did I mention you can also import your Facebook contacts?
Everyone recognizes that this is the future and Microsoft is taking its strides to change their design to mirror the “norm.” So what are you waiting for? Take heed and allow us to use our expertise to construct a community around your brand that will keep you at the forefront of this ever changing technology.
