Blog software has evolved dramatically, and social media has taken center stage. Twitter and Facebook didn’t even exist back in 2005 when this blog started, yet Facebook now reports having 750 Million users and Twitter has a respectable 200 million. In 2011, spreading the word about your product or service requires a platform. Michael Hyatt had a great post last week about building a platform, which he describes as… A platform is the means by which you connect with your existing and potential fans. A robust platform might include a blog, Twitter and Facebook accounts, a YouTube Video, or podcast. He lists the three primary benefits of a platform as… 1. A platform provides visibility. 2. A p...

Oh, the angst and the panic, and the pre-game anxiety, and the post-game euphoria or depression. New York Times reporter Benedict Carey talks about treatment options in his article, ”A Home Treatment Kit for Super Bowl Suffering.” Mr. Carey suggests: Breathing exercises are highly recommended and become increasingly important as the football contest nears the fourth quarter, when events on the field are likely to prompt strong physiological reactions, like a pounding heart, hyperventilation, even dizziness. These internal cues, as they’re called, can escalate the feeli...

We didn’t have bug bites on every limb, and we could spend a summer evening lounging on our porches without swatting and scratching every two seconds. But those days are over, so we might as well make the best of it. We were thrilled to hear that something we do in the summer anyway could actually keep bugs away. According to Lifehacker, using a fan (both indoors and outdoors) disperses the carbon dioxide you emit. Carbon dioxide is one of the major chemicals that attracts mosquitos. Also, if you’re keeping cool with a fan, you’...

We wanted to see what information they included and get a better idea how to design ours. Today we want to look at Corporate pages and see if we can glean some marketing ideas for our page. Lets take a look at some of the popular ones. Chick-Fil-A: Has a very product intensive page. They use serif fonts and round edge product boxes which gives their landing page a much softer feel that the square-boxy feel of a standard Facebook page. Overall they have six boxes for their popular products and a larger featured item box for their promotional product of the month. Overall a compelling and simple to navigate design. Vitamin Water: Is now using Facebook as their homepage. They obviously must be getting good tracti...

Here are a few screen shots and what makes them so cool. Anne Jackson: Her page is a basic fan page with the addition of a book page, along with events and photos. Anne uses her book page to alert her followers about her upcoming book and gives them simple pre-order links. This will help her have a great book roll-out. ******************** Mari Smith: Her fan page includes a custom welcome screen to greet new visitors along with a custom named tag to give her fans information about an upcoming event. She has written her copy with a sense of urgency to make sure her followers take action now. ******************** Michael Hyatt: His Twitter followers nu...

Facebook was founded in February of 2004 by former Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg, who ran it as a hobby project with some financial help from Eduardo Saverin. Initially Facebook was a closed community, open only to college students from recognized institutions. This closed membership model kept it relatively small, until 2006 when it expanded further to include high school students, and finally in December of 2008, became available to the general public. The website currently has more than 400 million active users worldwide. Here are some startling statistics from their latest press release… Mo...

The site, ADHD Allies (facebook.com/ADHDAllies), works like a traditional Facebook page, but features a bevy of informational tools directed at the 9 million adults suffering from the condition. Topics include organization at work, financial organization, and social interactions during the summer....This isn’t McNeil’s first jump into social media. Last year, the company launched a Facebook site geared towards mothers of children with ADHD. To date, that site has garnered more than 8,200 fans. However, unlike the site about caregivers, ADHD Allies requires people with the disease to actually come out and announce that they have it.What other fan pages have you seen work on Facebook for specific condi... ePharma Summit blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2387225 Mon, 04 May 2009 16:03:00 +0100 2387225 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2313536&cid=t_448657_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2009%2F04%2F08%2Fhow-depression-is-like-the-x-files%2F Huh?? That’s probably what you thought when you clicked on this blog post. Depression….. The X Files….. Right. I’ll admit, I’m a scifi fan, and the X Files is one of my all-time favorite shows. I’m old enough to have enjoyed it the first time around in the ’90s, and now I’m watching the entire series again on DVD. Yes, I’m a big nerd, but I digress. A couple of nights ago, I watched one of the many alien conspiracy episodes involving Agents Scully and Mulder, Assistant Director Skinner, Alex Krycek, and a host of other folks mixed up in a thick plot. This is somewhere in the last of nine seasons, so alien conspiracy and high drama are not new to the regular viewer by this time. I had a few thought collisions today, leading me to compar...

I have been hoping for this day for a long, long time.
