Should you hide behind your brand in the social media world?

Brand itself has a personality.  I would think that’s the purpose of a brand.  However, every human being working for that brand has their own different personality. And to mould that personality to be the same as the brand’s personality, I would say it is totally impossible!  And if there are a few people handling [...]

Google don’t use “Keywords” Meta Tag at all!

It has been a debate whether we should use “keywords” meta tag or not.  It really takes someone from Google to stand up and tell you that the meta tag for “keyword” or “keywords” is not taken into consideration in Google’s search ranking.  Thanks KC for showing me this Google video about the official updates [...]

What Eric Schmidt’s departure from Apple’s board is telling me?

It has been official that Eric Schmidt has to leave Apple’s board.  It looks to most people that it is a friendly departure.  I believe that it must be a friendly one as there is definitely a conflict over here.  However, looking from a very big picture, this is telling me something about Apple and [...]

Google going full strength on Twitter stream

Big Corporates Should Start Employing Social Media Managers

Social Media is here to stay.  We have a lot of people now in the social media.  In my opinion, the big players such as Facebook and Twitter have created what social media is today.  But to get a big corporation to participate in social media, it is about building a new team or even [...]

Google Laying Off 200 Sales and Marketing Employees

I caught a glimpse that Google is laying off 200 sales and marketing employees, rather than its operational employees.   In Google, the money comes with the Internet.  And their core business needs to be maintained by operations. In many scenarios, I will see companies laying off some of the operations because they are not doing [...]
