Okay, I confess. I got busy with other things and didn’t find the time to update the links. But since a number of you have asked, it’s back. Love’s Links will summarize the shows and put the links out for you. We’ll also be working on the blog over the summer to bring it up to speed.

The links tonight?

Love’s Links – Episode 30 – Jim Hirshfield and Tynt

therealjimlove — Tue, 18 May 2010 01:00:17 +0000

Janet’s post was on LazyFeed – a new way to monitor what’s happening and Guzzle.it

And the Facebook killer diaspora

Our guest was Jim Hirshfield from tynt.com

You have to look at Tynt. If you have a website and don’t have Tynt running, shame on you. For every social media action (a tweet or blog mention) there are 50 cut and paste actions.

The software puts a back link on anything that is copied from your site, giving you credit and a link anytime people use your content. 500,000 web sites are running the Tynt scripts.

Shoutem.com is a community that welcomes micro-bloggers and mobile communities. One of 5 mobile startups to watch in 2010 according to PC World.

Some of Christian’s favourite podcasts (you can find these on podfeed.net) are

Winecast

We started out with a discussion of an editorial in the Wall Street Journal which talked about the Search for Serendipity by L. Gordon Crovitz.

Love’s Links – Episode 22 with Susan Tenby, Tech Soup & Non-Profits In Second Life

therealjimlove — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 13:02:13 +0000

Janet’s pick for this week was stik The site titles itself as “Never Buy from a Stranger Again” I put two profiles in and I’ll let you know if I get any results. Great discussion on privacy issues and how pushy to be in social media.

Our guest on the program was Susan Tenby from Tech Soup. Her mission is to help non-profits “get” technology. Not for profits – if you aren’t checking out this site, you should be.

We spent a great deal of the program talking about non-profits in Second Life. The site NPSL: Nonprofits in Second Life is a wealth of information on this topic. Susan’s twitter id is @suzboop and her Second Life avatar name is Glitteractica Cookie – a creative and humorous monicker that got her featured on the Tonight Show. (Hey, John – my Twitter account is the therealjimlove — doesn’t that rate a small giggle? Of course it doesn’t match Allan’s avatar name – Naimya Price — groan!)

There were a lot of links mentioned. I’ll pick through my notes today, but if anyone out there wants to leave a comment with some of the links, that would be marvelous!

Love’s Links – Episode 20 featuring Dave Howlett – Real Human Being!

therealjimlove — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:56:54 +0000

Janet Fouts brought us two interesting polling/sampling tools.

ask500people.com is a survey tool that lets you ask 4 questions. There’s a free and a premium version. Jim got great results from the free version, but the paid version gave results in minutes.

The second items was amplicate.com Amplicate allows a binary choice. It will tell you whether people think something is positive or negative. It’s simple and brutal. Things “rock” or they “suck”. Janet made the point that this is great for watching trending, so take a look at that.

Our guest was Dave Howlett RHB, the founder and managing director of Real Human Being Incorporated. If you want to find out more about Dave, check out his website at realhumanbeing.org

Dave mentioned Daniel Pink and I wrote him back to see if this was the same author he mentioned. I was sent this link by Bob McCulloch, an incredible consultant and an example of someone who is what Dave would call an RHB. He sends out the most thoughtful links to people and we all look forward to them. Great third gear behaviour.

Love’s Links – Episode 18

therealjimlove — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:31:31 +0000

Janet’s pick of the week was a oneforty.com This intriguing site has a complete list of almost every twitter related application you could mention. It’s beautifully laid out, great index and it even gives ratings to each one. You have to see it to believe it.

Adam Herman was our guest tonight. SVP of Barkley Advertising – the largest advertising agency in Kansas. Adam made some great observations in tonight’s show. Including:

Digital engagement is the real game changer in media and advertising.
CRM is a new discipline in media and advertising. It’s long been part of the direct marketing world.
Measurement is a two edged sword. Just because it CAN be measured, doesn’t mean it SHOULD be.

His predictions for where things are going in the future:

Local search will explode
Most searches will be done from your phone
Augmented reality will grow in importance
Apps aren’t about the 99 cents – they offer a new way of engaging your customers whenever, wherever THEY want.
A new discipline – branding in 2 sentences
