Has your name changed? Mine has. After walking down the aisle in September, I’ve just started the massive task of changing my name everywhere. I’m sure most women (like me) don’t realise how big this task will be until they actually start the process. Bank accounts, phone, electricity, drivers licence….the list goes on. But, these [...]

Just watched this video from Socialnomics and had to share it. While funny, it stuck a cord when comparing the measurement of the ROI’s from different mediums. Are you the company Shmoo? (CMO) Is your social media presence entrusted to the intern? The ROI of Social Media is that your business still exists in 5 years… Interesting take. Is that [...]

Keith Ferrazzi is a relationship expert who wrote Never Eat Alone and Who’s Got Your Back – both of which I love.  He came out to Australia recently thanks to The Growth Faculty and gave a workshop.  His thoughts on social media are worth sharing! Below is a transcript too. Hi this is Keith Ferrazzi, [...]

It wouldn’t feel right to blog this week without mentioning the economic holocaust that appears to be threatening the world. The Dow is doomed, Greece is gutted, the States are failing and anyone close to retirement is likely starting to panic. If you didn’t already have your super sorted, you’d be forgiven for feeling downright [...]

They choose to boycott all forms of social networking and make life difficult by not having a facebook page or twitter identity. They expect to be actual friends and swap email addresses or, god forbid, phone numbers, [...]

For those of you who are studying you will know that Semester 2 is already here (it feels as though we skipped a few months at the beginning of the year). And with this new semester comes our latest intern from QUT’s Creative Industries program, Sharon Barbour. If like Sharon you’re keen to apply for [...]

We’ve blogged before on How to create a Business Page on Facebook but now you can hear it straight from the horses mouth. Facebook has recently launched the “Facebook for Business” website which is aimed at providing a step-by-step guide to help small businesses use and make the most of the social networking site. If you’re struggling [...]

After my post last week on our experience with the different accounting systems (MYOB vs Netsuite vs Saasu), I wanted to follow up with more detail about working with Saasu (or @Saasu). I must admit I was a little nervous when I rang Saasu. The website looked good, the accounting feature list definitely favoured them, [...]

This morning shocking footage was broadcast into my cereal bowl as Channel Nine’s Today Show reported a school yard bullying incident in Melbourne [click to view video]. Reading further into the story online, journalists at Herald Sun started to place the blame on social media, particularly Facebook. This is of course not the first time [...]

A newbie to the nest I know it’s important not to measure one’s worth in followers. But after a fortnight of being on Twitter, I’ve amassed (yes) nine followers. One-third of these are related to me. As you can see from Angus Russell’s post about Twitter last week, he is beating me by 220 followers. [...]
