Red Shoes Speaks No. 70 – Facebook & Skype together

Lisa & Tommy talk about the new integration of Skype chat within Facebook. Lisa’s not so big on the instant messaging capabilities in Facebook and doesn’t think she will use the video chat capabilities. Tommy is also leery of the new capabilities. Each tool has its own to gain from the merger of services. Interesting to see where this will go.

Red Shoes Speaks No. 69 Dumping our Website

Tommy & Sara talk about a newspaper in Maryland that moved all their web presence form their corporate website to Facebook. A bold move dumping their website but if you think about it, it maybe a smart move! They are taking their stories and content to where their readers are instead of making their readers leave Facebook to go get the content.

Red Shoes Speaks No. 68 Social Media Slip-ups

Tom and Sara discuss recent stories of PR agencies getting fired after negative tweets went out. A member of the Chrysler team inadvertently posted a highly controversial tweet from the corporate account instead of his private account. The Redner Group intentionally posted a negative tweet on behalf of their client 2K, causing the agency to be let go from the gaming corporation. Lesson learned: quadruple-check your tweets, especially if your job depends on it!
