What Not To Do When A User Is Promoting Your Product Or Service: Try To Get Them To Sign Up AGAIN

Above is a conversation that I mentioned Republic Wireless in. I love engaging with companies on Twitter — especially active ones, but it’s always disappointing whenever they don’t remember who you are, or worse, don’t read your message correctly.

Maybe I don’t need to explain it in this post, but I was simply stating to Kelly that I would be open to trying a Windows Phone and hinting to RW that they should get one… they apparently skimmed my tweet and definitely didn’t look at the previous ones, or they wouldn’t have replied with what they said… telling me, an already current customer (which I feel my tweet to Kelly appropriately depicts me as), to try out their service.

The lesson is: read things twice before quickly responding. If you have a customer that’s halfway promoting you and halfway suggesting something to you… don’t try to recruit them, you’ve already done that once.

I really like Facebook’s new photo viewer. I think it’s a great step in the right direction. It definitely reminds me of Google+, but that’s a good thing.However, I am worried a bit that Facebook is starting to “copy” some of Google+’s mannerisms, but hopefully that doesn’t become the case because they both need to continue to compete otherwise there won’t be any growth.There are still a ton of other things Facebook needs to change and improve on. Hopefully these come soon.

Protest SOPA & PIPA With Me

Hey guys, I got this idea that I wanted to spread to you. Several of you have been active about spreading awareness and being aware on SOPA & PIPA. I got an idea we could put together a “conversation” on Facebook that then would be edited with blackout of the important subjects to bring awareness that even discussing or sharing copyrighted information could be threatened. Let me know if you’re interested and feel free to add any more of your friends who are active on SOPA and PIPA to this too! I think it’d be cool!

You can participate by sending a friend request on Facebook, a tweet on Twitter or we can even do it here right on Tumblr by sending me a message!
