Taking Advantage of Social Media After an Event Some say Marty should have never gone to the old west or the first two Godfather's were enough but, I disagree.  Without them, however, we would never have seen the Doc fall in love or how Michael Corleone...

Social Media Trading Cards

Category : Social Media

Have you ever wanted to be on a trading card?  Have you dreamed of having your picture alongside your stats?  Well folks, that time is now.  Meet-meme.com has created a website where you can create and buy your own trading cards.  Only instead of your batting average it will have how many followers you have on Twitter.  This card is for the social media geeks in all of us.

The back of the card has your twitter handle, how many tweets you have written and how many followers you have on Twitter. You can chose between having your Twitter information or your LinkedIn information on the front.  Also on the front is your picture, real name, bio, special power and quote.

The front of the card has a thumbnail of your picture, your name, email address, website and phone number.  The coolest thing about the card is that you have your own personal QR code.  People can scan the code and it will take them to a personalized meet-meme page with all of your info.  What is super awesome about this is you can update this page as often as you want!  If you created a new blog or changed jobs you can always update your site to provide those links.  Here is my meet-meme page.   Be sure to check out the “tweet this” and “share on Facebook” buttons.  This allows the person that you gave a card to tweet, “I just meet @becky_J.”  Seriously…. how cool is that??

Here are some QR Scanner apps.

Parody Awesomeness

Category : Movies, Social Media

So, I saw Inception a couple of weeks ago and I REALLY am planning on writing a review soon… but first some stellar parody goodness.

My last post about the forthcoming film “The Social Network,” has really spawned some spectacular parody trailers among the internets.

Here is one about Myspace, “The Other Social Netowrk.”

A very amusing one based on YouTube, “The Video Website.”

But my favorite out of the parodies is the one about Twitter, “The Twit Network.” They even have their own parody of the eerie version of “Creep.”  (Call 911!  Do they have a Twitter? BWAHAHAHA!!)

The thing about these parodies is that they aren’t too far gone.  I mean if they made a movie about the start up of Facebook, Hollywood could certainly make a movie about Twitter. Is it really that off base?  Twitter is just as popular as Facebook, so why not?  It just goes to show that Hollywood can take anything and dramatize the heck out of it and make it somewhat interesting.  Not like that’s a bad thing.  People like to be entertained.  That’s why we go to the movies.  That an the amazing movie theater popcorn.  Yummmmmm!
