Look for us on Twitter Today!

inboundmarketing-300x300_show_image165As you probably already know, we’re on Twitter 24/7 (@zemoga and @Wilton bound are our “handles”). Today, DJ and Sven are at the Inbound Marketing Summit in San Francisco and Twitter is one of the main focuses of the discussion. In the spirit of the conference, we’ll be tweeting live from the sessions all day. Follow the discussions on the #ims09 hashtag.

As an added bonus, they’re projecting the chat stream on the conference display screens so any message you send us with that hashtag will be seen by all the conference attendees!

It’s a great example of how to integrate social media in to conference programming. How are you using all these new tools to make your conference content more engaging?

Apple announced it’s first quarter results yesterday and the numbers are truly astounding. Check out these figures (courtesy of Silicon Alley Insider):

Key stats:

  • March qtr. revenue: $7.69 billion consensus (6% y/y growth)
  • March qtr. EPS: $1.09 consensus
  • March qtr. GM: 32.5% guidance, 33.6% RBC estimate
  • March qtr. Mac shipments: 2.1 million consensus
  • March qtr. iPod shipments: 10.0 million consensus
  • March qtr. iPhone shipments: 3.3 million consensus (some analysts at 3.7 million)
  • June qtr. revenue: $8.28 billion consensus (11% y/y growth), guidance could be $7.8-8.1 billion
  • June qtr. EPS: $1.12 consensus, guidance could be $0.92-1.02
  • June qtr. GM: 33% consensus, guidance could be 30.5-31.5%

These guys are crushing it (while their counterparts in Redmond are struggling with the latest Windows release and the stillborne Zune). Drilling down in the results, the numbers are even wilder. Apple has shipped 37 MILLION iPhones and iPod touches since launch. And the App Store recently recorded its 1 BILLIONTH app download.  These are game changing numbers. Read more

I had the good fortune to attend David Meerman Scott‘s  launch session for his latest book, WORLD WIDE RAVE back in March. It’s taken me a while to get around to reading the actual book but that’s okay. Ultimately, the book does a very good job of capturing David’s live presentation.

Award Winning Web Design – Again

honoree_black_high

Last night, we received the very welcome news that we were an official honoree in this year’s Webby awards. Zemoga was recognized for it’s work on A Million Reasons to Vote, one of eight honorees in the Politics category (we received a similar award in 2008 for our “Crazy Redux” video). While it’s incredibly gratifying to be recognized by the leading interactive design awards (and to be selected from a field of over 9000 entries), I was struck by the nature of our fellow nominees. They included CNN, the Guardian, Politico and Salon. All major players with significant financial backing. And there was our site (along with a couple of other independents) keeping company with these media giants. Read more

markzuckerberg

Yesterday, Facebook passed the 200 million user mark. That’s bigger than most countries.

And still there are naysayers. I mentioned FB’s new user numbers to a client yesterday and he was dismissive. “What’s the business model? Their advertising sales, suck.” And this was coming from someone who regularly designs campaigns and promotions for Facebook.

It seemed to me that his work and his clients were actually answering his own question. Read more
