Here’s What Social Networking Is All About

I never claim to be a Social Media “Evangelist” (whatever that means) like all the whako’s on twitter, but my brother-in-law, David, (who happens to be the CFO down here at Samuelson’s) got a Facebook response that really sums it up.   He posted a link to our Samuelson’s Diamonds Fan Page on his profile and […]

We Got Our Facebook Vanity URL

Well, the time came and went.  12AM on June 12 was the time to grab your Facebook vanity URL as fast as possible.  In 3 minutes 200,000 names were taken.  In 15 minutes it was 500,000 and now it’s in the millions.  I was not so concerned with my profile name.  I went after our […]

Have You Driven a Ford Lately?

I talked about Burger King doing it right in a previous blog post.  They’ve been running some good viral campaigns lately like “Delete 10 Facebook Friends and Get a Free Whopper” and others.  So they get the social media stuff.  Now I just ran across Ford doing the same.  Now, before I get started I […]

Back to The Cold, Burger King is Doing it Right

Just got back from vacation to Florida.  Great seeing all of my Florida friends, hanging on the beach, even got a little jam session in.  Now I’m back and BAM!  It’s freezing.  When I left this morning for work it was 6 degrees.  Florida for the winter sounds like a plan, but it’ll be a […]
