Hello Ross!

I am impressed!

Your hotel was great and it's always my first choice when I visit Glasgow. Hope to see you around again :-)

Oh and I'm sure you don't need it (you are doing great on your own) but take a look at this http://www.somafusion.com/s... you might like it :-)

Kind Regards

You have very good points. Unfortunately the same underlying problem exists across several industries in Greece, especially those regulated and operated by the Government. It is our hope, too, that something will be done soon to turn this trend around. Greece needs maintain its tourism industry now more than ever.

Discuss the process – be there

Now that time has passed you are probably guessing where the missing tweet went...

I think you said it all in one phrase:

"Hence – Communications 101 – different needs and different audiences mandate different types, styles and content when it comes to communication"

P.S. ND last tweet... still January 26th...

Are you listening Burl Barer? You could learn a thing from Sofia.

Just today I've posted a .... post for that kind of criticism.

"Oh! he was bored, and now I will go to another convenience store, and I will blog about it.."

If you want to promote you business through your blog, just do it and don't misleading me with irrelevant titles!

I would die for a politician who would have the balls to say, e.g. in this particular example, "please stop making a fuss about meaningless nothings and concentrate on the actual subject at hand". That, is a person I would cast my very first vote to. Till then....

It's kinda funny we were having exactly the same discussion at the office. Even though I am not fussed about him swearing I did hear a very good argument, that him swearing is effectively a 'dumbing down' assumption for the audience and thus a bit pretentious.

Re: David Cameron & Twitter

Apotheosis — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:32:14 -0000

Aside from the discussion on the media tools, what I find hilarious (as well as deeply disturbing and depressing), is that it is precicelly irrelevant silly things like this (a politician mentioning the word 'twat', Janet Jackson showing a bit of nipple, etc, etc) that get people worked up, into a debate, or have their opnion affected or even formed by.
He said twat. Thus, he is cool/rude/hip/with the young generation/inexperienced.......
Bleh.

Re: Tophost.gr & Papaki.gr: Engagement wins from 2 Greek companies

icedbird — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:28:51 -0000

I use also Papaki.gr.

It's a great company, with great customer support .
Well done people.

Marianna i want to say something...In the past i tried to register more than 5 domains at once and the system stucked....(your customer support told me that its better to register 5 domains at a time to prevent me from the same problem again in the future). I think that you(the company) should see that issue.

Sofia i run fidaki.gr . Its a forum for greek affiliate marketers... You can join us if you want.

Thanks

Hello Brian lovely to see you on here - thanks for dropping by.
I think that's why when I talk about social media and online social networks to... well, beginners they sometimes find your conversation prism slightly intimidating. Until they start getting into the rhythm of the thing that is. I was thinking that perhaps the video might help ease them into the multitude of platforms and then the Conversation Prism could help explain what all the logos on the video are all about and how they can be understood, analysed and used.

What do you think?

Brian Solis — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:16:36 -0000

Yes, this does demonstrate the drive for social media, but it doesn't parse it into a tangible, usable medium. :)

Re: Why I like to see your name when it comes to your work

Sofia — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:15:30 -0000

Hey aris - thanks for dropping by. I don't know how they see it i just strikes me as so weird... I see you guys have your names on your website (it rocks by the way). Have you found the experience to be positive?

Re: Why I like to see your name when it comes to your work

aris — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:14:54 -0000

The ones who avoid putting their name on their sites should stop and think how they-themselves feel about sites without a name on them! Unless of course they wish to protect themselves from actually attracting customers/clients...

Re: Political engagement using Twitter. Some thoughts from the Greek elections

Sofia — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:13:41 -0000

I think that's exactly the point Lakonikos. It's not a start for Greek politicians. Others have started quite some time now. It's a start for ND. Not the same thing. But I agree let's see how it goes.

Re: Political engagement using Twitter. Some thoughts from the Greek elections

Lakonikos — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:13:05 -0000

I think it is a good start for Greek politicians.
Let's see how it ends!

The illusions we still have... technology can indeed augment our abilities, ideas, connections. But we must first have them in order to augment them ;-) If we try to augment nothing we end up with more nothingness...
