Social Media Whiteboard Wednesdays

August 25th, 2010 by Mike Vaz

Hello once again everybody! As part of our ongoing evolution here at DragonSearch we’ve decided to do something a little bit more fun and different for those of you traveling through the search engine marketing universe.  Every Wednesday I shall be portraying various social media issues through the medium of illustration. This will be better known as our “Social Media Whiteboard Wednesdays”


How did this come to fruition?

Well, I just happened to doodle one of my characters onto our company whiteboard one day after work. The character is a sort of an alien creature I suppose which also bears a t-shirt that reads “Market This”.  My fellow dragon Clayton Walter noticed it and came up with the idea of a weekly cartoon that would depict social media content relevant to that week.  The cartoon I drew this week depicts the recent launch of Facebook Places and how Foursquare might actually feel about it despite their positive feedback in interviews. What are your feelings about this and do you think Facebook Places will either have a positive or negative effect on your life?

If you want to learn more about Facebook Places and how it’s might play out into the future then you should read Allison Teetsel’s recent post about the drama between Facebook Places and Foursquare on the DragonSearch internet marketing blog.  Until next time everyone, adios.

One day into it’s release, the hubbub over Facebook Places continues. The reactions range from those of Facebook fanboys who are thrilled to check out the next big thing, to angry slams coming from the privacy groups once again offended by Facebook’s developers.

What Do Social Media Privacy Concerns And Your Insurance Rates Have In Common?

Well, Your Last Tweet May Have Jacked Up Your Home Insurance

Please Rob Me. Wait, hold on. PleaseRobMe.com. That’s more like it. In the new era of social media privacy concerns, the folks at ForTheHack pretty much exposed popular/next-big-thing Foursquare (the location-based, social media…ummmm, game, I guess) as a giant “Please Loot Me Silly” target on your house or apartment.

PleaseRobMe.com cleverly takes the updates of the Foursquaring masses and repurposes them as “opportunities” to access an empty abode. For example, let’s say Bob announces on Foursquare that he is at the grocery store. Well, Carl sees that and knows now that Bob ain’t home – he’s cruisin’ the produce section. That’s a potentially empty home/apartment that is now a target.

Foursquare Confessional

February 4th, 2010 by Claudia D'Arcy

Of Online Love and Lust

It must be in the air with Valentine’s Day right around the corner. Danielle Hearts Wordpress and I am infatuated with Foursquare.  Maybe we are just freely admitting ou true Geekiness, but I will confess too.

Girly Geek Internet Love

Foursquare has gotten under my skin. Even if I don’t quite “get” him yet. I think that is a part of the intrigue. Foursquare and I are just at the beginning of our relationship and I am not sure where it will go. It’s kind of nerve racking really. Foursquare is playing hard to get, making me wonder and keeping me on my toes.

Like so many of my internet infatuations, Foursquare gave me that special tingle right from the get go.  I can’t even recall when I first heard about him whether it was some blog, or at the office. I t doesn’t matter anymore. I know I sought him out to see what the buzz was about. While I was curious, once I did meet him, I wasn’t sure what to do next.loving-foursqaure-mobile-social

He was on my desk top, out of his element, looking like little more than some cute Twitter like directory.  I joined anyway. I had to know. And before I knew it, he had my profile.
