Standard Bank and FNB go head to head!
Woah, battle of the banks started today when Standard Bank tweeted out, “We instruct attorneys to lodge complaint with ASA against FNB for advertising that misleads the public.” – this in my opinion is a textbook example of the worst thing a brand could possible do when it comes to social media. I’ve been watching Twitter closely, following a search.twitter.com on @StandardBankGrp and all I can say is that the entire Twittersphere is jumping on and slinging negative comments at Standard Bank, possibly the worst thing any brand could ever wish for. Standard Bank claim that FNB’s adverts are misleading, but the public feel that Standard Bank should focus on fixing their problems rather than worry about something trivial. Afterall, I have no doubt that Standard Bank are moaning purely because FNB has embraced marketing and made a huge success of it, leading them to a market share which is growing rapidly in comparison.
Back in 2008, the Washington post covered a really interesting study in which they had one of the most famous and talented musicians in the world, Joshua Bell, play some of his usual concert pieces incognito in a subway. Almost no one stopped to listen or recognized how beautifully he was playing. Within the last few weeks- Jay Baer wrote a great post about how, thanks to new media like Twitter, it is much easier to come by information but along with this new speed of information transfer is a wane in more investigative knowledge mining.

The Top 7 Twitter clients for Blackberry | memeburn
In an age of juggernaut smartphones such as Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android-powered devices, Research In Motion’s (RIM) relatively fledgling foray into the mainstream consumer market sees them still battling for consumer mindshare as a general purpose smartphone maker. With that said, RIM’s long-time darling smartphone of the business world, the Blackberry, has come a long way since its conservative suit-and-tie beginnings. With consumer-oriented advertising, user interface improvements, touch screen – and budget devices, RIM are clearly making a push for the mainstream consumer market. The yet-to-be released OS6, is poised to be Blackberry’s most consumer-oriented operating system yet. A great mainstream consumer smartphone has excellent social media integration and applications.
The Jittery Goat Growing older is not all it’s cracked up to be, but it has its moments. There comes a time in your life when you have paid your dues. That time varies. Some feel that way from the time they are old enough to scream and get what they want (we all know who they are). Some earn it in time.

Twitter: We Are Not A Social Network
Twitter says the darnedest things. Back when their documents leaked to the public they claimed to wish to become the “ pulse of the planet .” Today the company made a new claim that is very interesting: that their product is not a social network . Not a social network? It’s almost a surprise until you think about it and you realize that Twitter isn’t. This is exactly why Facebook has not killed it, and probably will not be able to at least in the near future.
