I am back on this blog after six months of non-writing (shame on me). Today I will share some stuff about new neat device from Samsung - Galaxy Tab. As you may know even Russian president Dimitry Medvedev has one and he is not delighted with its camera. :)

The biggest news this week concerning Galaxy Tab is following Samsung's announcement: Galaxy Tab global sales top 600,000 units.

If you want to see what this ubercool device can do, watch the vdeo below:

The Miami Social Media Conference is the industry's largest event that covers business management for the enterprise internet community industry.

The next event will be held on January 19-21, 2011 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, USA. The Miami focuses on all the internet community market and is attended by senior executives in the industry.

The event will discuss: Enterprise Social Networking business strategies, mobile technologies for internet community, Social Networking software, partnerships, venture capital, legal issues, internet/traditional marketing strategies, background search and payments.

1. People trust corporations less so with the rise of social media you need to allow other people through word of mouth create trust for you through Social Media (it amplifies your message)
2. Reached out to those who are listening and let them do the talking for you and to connect with people like themselves
3. Let them know that you are real people just like them and are passionate about what they do and the Ford Brand
4. Run a competition involving Social Media eg.. To be selected to drive a Ford Fiesta for six months – select 100 of those who are “socially vibrant” such as Michelle McCormack ..view her application on YouTube.
5. Aggregated the content on Fords Fiesta movement website (crowd sourcing content) without editing it!
6. Implemented multiple Social Media channels such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to create digital buzz
7. “Get On Board” the executive team and the board of directors

The Results

- 11 million Social Networking impressions
- 5 million engagements on social networks (people sharing and receiving)
- 11,000 videos posted
- 15,000 tweets.. not including retweets
- 13,000 photos
- 50,000 hand raisers who have seen the product in person or on a video who said that they want to know more about it when it comes out and 97% of those don’t currently drive a Ford vehicle
- 38% awareness by Gen Y about the product, without spending a dollar on traditional advertising ( Fords model “Fusion” doesn’t have that awareness after 2 years of being out in production and yet it has received hundreds of millions of dollars in traditional marketing spend).

1. The idea for Twitter emerged during lunch (Mexican food was on menu)

2. The working title of the Twitter was "Status"

3. The founders of the Twitter came up with the service name "twich", but "twitch" is not a good product name because it doesn’t bring up the right imagery so they have found the word "Twitter"

4. Vocabulary definitions of Twitter are "a short burst of inconsequential information" and "chirps from birds".

5. The original name for the service was "twttr" inspired by the Flickr and the fact that the United States SMS Short Code's are 5 characters long

6. Twitter is a project of the incubator called "Obvious Corp."

7. In the early stages of Twitter posts were not limited to 140 characters

8. Messages are limited to 140 characters to allow space for @username in the maximum 160 characters (what is the maximum length of SMS messages)

9. The first 14 Twitter users have been: @Jack, @Biz, @Noah, @Crystal, @Jeremy, @Adam, @TonyStubblebine, @Ev, @Dom, @Rabble, @RayReadyRay, @Florian, @TimRoberts, and @Blaine
