If you're in our conversations offline, why are you not in our conversations online?

Recently I've been trying to get my head around whats happening in the Social Media space in New Zealand, especially for some of our larger household brands.

You could be cutting your chances of getting exposure on twitter in half depending on when you post your tweets so we looked at the research, the timezones and discovered some very useful information. 

Location based social games like Gowalla and Foursquare are putting businesses, cafes, bars and restaurants on your map. The experience is interactive and enables user driven content to be easily shared among others visiting the same location.

Retailers are in a unique position to use Social Media in creative ways. Many retail staff actively use Facebook and Twitter for personal use so asking them to post for work to is probably easily answered.

Communities started becoming groups and networks well before the the Internet, Social Media or Facebook. While some might argue that the internet is destroying 'real communities', others are more involved with communities than they ever were pre dial-up.
