First it was the news that Facebook would become the killer of Gmail earlier this week, now Facebook are in the headlines again as they announce their new partnership with MySpace. It seems we can’t go more than a couple of days without mention of the online behemoth, let alone the hundred odd times we check it a day.

MySpace, who recently under went a radical overhaul of their user interface and branding, now allows users to connect their Facebook and MySpace profiles, in what is being labeled ‘Mash Up with Facebook.’ This new feature now allows users a whole new range of online sharing features, where they will be able to receive updates and follow their favorite unsigned, underground and established artists that MySpace is known for.

Despite being the foremost social network at one time, MySpace has seen a sharp decline in activity, seeing a fall in users of up to 49% in one year, if certain reports are to be believed. However, MySpace has shown it is far more resilient than it’s given credit for. With its new focus as a social network for music, (which it had long been labeled, but never full embraced until earlier this year) it can now benefit from Facebook and its 500 million users, as news feeds continue to play an increasingly big role as a source of website traffic.

This has great benefits for Facebook and their mission to learn everything about you, as it is now able to import even more user data into it’s highly targeted advertising model from the new mash ups and the eventual introduction of the ever present Like button. It’ll be interesting to see how this fits in the recently updated Fan Pages, but no doubt it’ll be in a way which increases user engagement and generates further advertising revenue.

Did you know the computer company Dell announced it made £6.5 million US dollars in revenues from their involvement with Twitter.

Dell uses Twitter to “listen and learn” from their customers directly. The number of customers following Dell online has increased considerably, with “11,844” people following them on Twitter @DellOutLet.

Those “11,844” customers receive special discounted offers exclusively as a reward for following the company on Twitter. This is a clear indication that Twitter and other social media networking sites are a very powerful marketing tool.

We broke a nine year rule today - not that I am complaining because it involved chocolate! OK - I should mention that the nine year rule only came about because when we introduced it, someone, no names mentioned, took the day off just because their birthday landed on a work day! Bah Humbug…. So the rule emerged…… if you are in on your Birthday you get cake… usually a big chocolate cake…. depending on how many years you have passed pretty much determines how big the cake is, well, how many portions you get rather than how many candles! Anyway…so it began, that if your birthday happened to fall on a weekend (I know sounds really mean), …. well, you don’t get cake, not that you have much of a choice given that we are not in the office over the weekend…… you all know we need our rest on a weekend! 

SO… today it all changed…. the growing team reminded me that being a scrouge isnt good for the image! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARTIN - HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
