Simply Zesty - Building your brand through social media
Since the launch of the iPhone, Apple has given most of the other carriers a pretty hard time in recent years, but Nokia has come out fighting this week with a new online video campaign that looks to poke fun at the company and their flagship device. This campaign is certainly going to get attention, but does it focus too much on the negative? After Facebook removed their discussions pages late last year, a new solution presented itself in the form of Forum for Pages, an app which allows pages to host their own discussion forums.

For the next week, nerds will be partying nonstop, debating the next big trend or which startup is the “winner” of SXSW (previous winners Foursquare and Twitter have done pretty well, so it’s actually an important battle). I fly in on Friday, March 9th, and will be hitting the trail hard for meetings, parties, startup judging, interviews and the occasional morning mimosa. It will actually be my first time there. I’d love to connect with as many people as possible when I am down in Austin, so I’ve decided to publish part of my schedule.

If you’re like me, you may have noticed that Twitter may be arbitrarily, randomly, and haphazardly, unfollowing people you fully intended to follow. Similarly, if you’ve ever noticed your friends and contacts unfollowed you, it may have caused a sense of confusion, dread, or self-insecurity. Before one spirals into a series of apologies or deep-depression, it’s likely not your fault, (whew!).
