ExplicitEdition 38 - Google+, Iain's confesion and much more... | We are back after a short break during the holiday period, on Episode 38 we have Gordon White, half of birthday boy Kyle Murdoch, Kirsty Hunter and Iain Murray for some lively discussion and the usual measure of banter and disagreement! We start with a chat about Google+ - could this be something that Iain and Gordon agree on? - You need to listen to find out! We explore what Google+ is and who is it competing with and, is it one major social media platform too many? Facebook has also undergone some major changes since the last podcast so we look at what's new here and what we can expect in the near future. This discussion also questions how good, or bad, the big 4 (Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In and Google) are at actually communicating with their users - your thought son this would be much appreciated. Other topics we explore along the way include: Social Media in the workplace - are attitudes changing? Iain confesses he's finding weaknesses with Android Apple's customer service - is it the best you can get? Steve Jobs and his retirement - Can he be replaced? What's next for Apple? App Stores - Are there too many around? Widgets vs Icons Coca-Cola's Facebook Fan Page was not originally set up by Coca-Cola which leads us to chat about the difficulty brands are having with talking to their end users for the first time. IKEA's new television advert and how it is part of a campaign that includes some very clever YouTube/Facebook promotion QR Codes and their increasing popularity as predicted by Social Media Podcast 140 years ago! We also give a big thanks to CC Chapman for the fantastic video introduction for the last New Media Breakfast and also to Jennifer Holloway for the first of her guest posts on the fatBuzz Blog.

ExplicitEdition 37 - Facebook and other things... | Let me say from the outset that we made a cardinal error with this podcast - Gordon White, Kyle Murdoch and Iain Murray all gathered to record this episode at the appointed time, sat down to discuss (very roughly) what we would talk about then discovered no one had brought the recorder! Fear not, fatBuzz usually find a fix for such problems and we actually recorded it via one of our large Sony cameras. The edition does tend to focus a lot of Facebook; largely because we had just completed three "Facebook for Business" New Media Breakfast in the preceding six days! In that period we had all attended the Entrepreneurial Exchange Conference at Gleneagles where much of the speaker's content was about the use of social media in their businesses. We also discuss the relevancy of your community and the need to develop a following that is relevant to your business and, the usefulness of Twitter and Facebook Lists. We talk about a couple of influential social media business people, Michelle Mone of Ultimo and Richard McKay of Richard McKay flooring. Other subjects include: Tommy Sheridan blogging from jail (But now he isn't!!!) Groupon's timing on going to the market Glasgow's Great Deal and Edinburgh's Great Deal Facebook Deals Facebook Sponsored Stories The diabolically bad Facebook Mobile Platforms QR Codes - Mitch Joel's blog about how they can create a negative experience for a brand Gaynor MacIntyre of MacIntyre's of Edinburgh and her QR Code WAZE - An application for traffic management using Geo-Tagging and Twitter Cloud Computing, Apple iCloud, DropBox, Google Cloud etc. Two Boys Opera and the viral video - Can I be Your Friend?

Following this we look at a whole host of subjects with the usual light hearted banter; subjects include the popularity of Twitter, Paper.li and an interesting introduction to Storify. Microsoft also come under fire for their attempt at Quick Response codes and we ask if Google +1 is just the latest attempt by Google to get into Social Media.

During this chat we also look at other social media sites like Wayne's World and ask if any of these can really make any dent in the popularity of Facebook.
