Anyways this was just a quick fun post! Just wanted to lighten up the mood in the industry!

With the growing phenomenon of Social Media, there seems to be a disconnect between how much is too much. I myself spend hours daily on Plurking (Plurk.com), Tweeting (Twitter.com), Friend Feeding (FriendFeed.com), Digging (Digg.com), Tagging (Technorati.com), Stumbling (Stumbleupon.com), Bookmarking (Google Bookmarks), Reading (Reddit.com), Facebooking (Facebook.com), Favoring (Faves.com), Propelling (Propeller.com), Hellotxting (HelloTXT.com), Mixing (Mixx.com), Eating (Del.icio.us), and that is just the beginning.

With all of this crowding the mind and giving us all Socialitis we need to put on our project managers hats to bring us back to reality so that we can keep our heads on straight. Yes this is all a lot to work with, but Social Media Marketing is totally changing the dynamics of how we market and network online but we need to remember that social media is not just another direct marketing channel. Social media marketing makes it possible to construct brand awareness and create customer loyalty, as long as you go about it the right way and get organized.

With this all in mind here are 10 tips, tools, and suggestions to get the most out of your social marketing campaign and to not go crazy:

So if you haven’t heard of Twitter.com yet then you must be living underneath a rock. Twitter whether you like it or not has been changing the online world and has created a lot of buzz. Everyone and their dogs are all on Twitter, so the question is “Are YOU?” If you want to learn a bit more about what Twitter is then check out what Wikipedia is saying about it.

So if you remember each month I will be posting my monthly SEO Cartoons, so here is this months cartoon about Twitterholics:

Guess what there is actually a website about Twitterholics at Twitterholic.com. CRAZY!

At this point everyone in the SEO world knows who Jason Gambert is and knows that he is trying to Trademark the term “SEO”. If you haven’t heard about this yet then watch the “Man on his Way to Trademark “SEO” video at WebProNews.com.

I have decided to start a semi-monthly cartoon so I thought I would start off by having a little fun with the whole joke of Jason Gambert (because it really is a joke)!

So what does everyone else think about the whole Jason Gambert issue? See what Dave Harry of Huomah.com and others have to say with his SEO Overlord blog post.
