Social Networking on the Blackberry

MySpace released their mobile application for the Blackberry last week. This seems like a perfect time to list some of the core social media applications that you can run directly from the Blackberry (rather than accessing through a web browser). For Internet marketers using the Blackberry here are the tools I would recommend downloading:

• Facebook Client
  One of the best ways to access your account. The application focusing on the core areas of FB without any of the distractions.


• MySpace Client
  Similar to the Facebook application in functionality (homepage, inbox, friend requests, comments, friends and photos). Clean and snappy interface.


• TwitterBerry
  Tweet with relative abandon from your Blackberry


• Viigo
  The best RSS reader for the Blackberry.


• ShoZu
  Upload photos and videos to social media sites.

SEO Book Chapter - Now on Amazon

I was lucky enough to contribute a chapter to the IMC (Integrated Marketing Communications) Handbook on Search Engine Optimization. The book is now available to order via Amazon or the publisher (Racom Books). The chapter follows a similar structure to the SEO Seminar I present (the next session will take place on Friday December 5 in Chicago).

 

SEO is a moving target. However, most of what I wrote still stands. A planned approach to relevance, utility, quality and web standards is more than half the battle.
