Social Media and the sixties

An ad agency from brazil has created some really cool posters for modern social media companies like Facebook and Twitter. Great Stuff…would love to see a vintage-Yasni-poster, too!

The ads were created by Rodolfo Sampaio. Here, he explains the idea behind the vintage posters:

“Being that one of the greatest concerns these professionals have is to constantly reinvent themselves. What’s new today, is old tomorrow. With this in mind we’ve developed this campaign, showing how the tools in communication are quickly outdated. We are greatly impressed and pleased with the feedback we are seeing throughout the world.”

Take a look at Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Youtube in the 1960′s Posters:

Key lessons for improving your Social Media skills

Many people lose track in the Social Media-jungle. Facebook…Twitter…Blogging… Where and how do I reach my customers the best?

A great article on the topic “communication with Social Media” by Soren Gordhamer is available on mashable.com.

Conclusion: There is a fine line between reaching out people and ‘spamming’ people.

Here are the 7 Lessons for better networking with Social Media:

1. Find a Person’s Preferred Communication Channel: Go where they are!

2. Say Just Enough: Less is more!

3. Don’t Expect a Response: Say what you need to and then let it go.

4. Clarify Early: Say it up front.

5. What You Want is Not the Point: No one knows what the future may hold, so make the moment count. Ensure the door stays open, even if no one is walking through it right now.

6. Be Open Without Needing: Speak from openness rather than need.

7. Give Space: Focus on thoughtful instead of continual contact.

We will do our best! Thanks for the great tips…

What can you learn from an abnormal blog?

Today, I have posted a blog to Ecademy which could be characterised as abnormal.

The title of the blog is “Magic box for mission impossible“.

The blog has a number of features which may make one to think from various angles. Every word and sentence, including the image has a message which could be linked to certain important things.

Please feel free to rate or comment on the blog but I cannot guarantee to keep your comments on in the beginning. No offense is intended; just its abnormality caused this idiosyncrasy :-)!

Have you ever posted or seen unconventional blogs? What did you learn from them?
