Earlier this week I shared how Peter Hartey, a recent attendee of the Social Media Starter Course was seeing some fantastic online success around a social media project he launched after attending the course in October.
Hot on the heels of Peter’s good news, I’ve been contacted by another Social Media Starter Course attendee with details of a fascinating social media project, this time featuring a Christmas single!
Liam Walsh of Ask Me PR is currently promoting an inventive musician’s Credit Crunch-themed Christmas single using social media.
If You So Much As Twitter This

I’ve been reflecting on the phenomenal interest in Twitter of late. From Dell’s 40+ Twitter team to a Social Brand Index that lists the brands on the microblogging service du jour, it seems like there’s no escaping the Twitter addiction. And this despite a recent decision to axe outgoing SMS updates to Twitter users in the UK.
It’s incredible how much groundswell is gathering around a service that is barely two years old.
Twitter’s main devotees in the UK are early adopters and PR types. Very smart PR types I must add.
If any of those are reading this, cast your eye over this brilliant article on the 13 Skills of the Public Relations Pro of the Future by John Bell of OgilvyPR. Thanks for the credit, John!
