So yesterday we went a little crazy with the sproutmarketing twitter account (you can click on that link to follow us). We took all the sproutians twitter accounts and looked at who they were following and then invited those people to follow sprout proper. It worked great and many of the people we were following also followed us. But I think we went a little too crazy because the they shut us down for a while. So if that link at the top isn't working try again tomorrow :) This is what you really came to see. This is a map made with yahoo pipes that will show you where your twitter friends are located.

| Amazing Video with Eric Schmidt |
| 2008.11.19 10:59:27 | |
 This is an amazing interview with google ceo Eric Schmidt. The Future of business a conversation Eric Schmidt My favorite quote from the video: "You can have a long tail strategy but you better also have a head because that is where all the revenue is." I don't think this statement conflicts with Chris Andersons ideas on the long tail because each trend will have it's own head and it's own tail. For example I have a friend that runs a profitable website that sell clogging supplies. He will never show up in search for "dance" but he doesn't even want to. He does want to show up for "clogging," "clogging shoes," etc. he wants to be the head of that microtrend. Think about how this applies in your online business (all businesses are now online businesses - that fact is impossible to ignore). Tags: Hits: 402 | Read more... |

I have been trying some interesting new tools for keyword research and I think it could spill over into voice of customer research as well. In this example I am building a tag cloud from a twitter search for "marketing" -07t16 01z 07z 08z 35z 44z 56z 5hw3bv 66dq6a arronlock bit business bzlx canuckdownunder chelpixie coggan com coolkay crmseo denisemerritt email exaltcreativity href http id ignore inquisix internet jupiternick kennycannon key list ly marketing mayhemstudios meetup network quot reading rebecca search shh six spitfyre65 tag tinyurl tr trends twitter twurl

So you are thinking "great josh more geeky stuff that I will never use thanks for wasting my time." But guess what. You can use this too. Check it out. Take your brand name and put it anywhere you want twitter search, google search, etc. now copy the website address, go to http://www.makecloud.com and paste the website address in the box and press the button that says "get tag cloud code". Then sit back and be amazed at all the insights you will collect. You just saved yourself thousands of dollars on voice of customer research. You already know what words are most frequently associated with your brand name or category name. Try this yourself and let me know if you find anything interesting or insightful Tags: Hits: 76 | Read more... |
