In one word – wow ! this video is just what I would have ever dreamed of in term of data – you’ve got everything, it’s fresh, it’s beautiful, it’s impressive. Just admire what the Internet is with a few figures 🙂

In the mind of many internet users, Internet = Google. It says a lot about the size of Google and its impact on the web (and also on the ignorance of some users :)Everything related to google should be interesting for any people interested in working at some point with the web (and of course, with social media).
This week end I had a couple of interesting reading I wanted to share :

Some of our clients currently asks us for Dashboard solutions for Monitoring purposes. Here is a bunch of good practices for building such tools.
What is it :
A web page build by the agency with a selection of RSS feeds to help the client to get a view on what is said about him, the challengers, inside the main media targets on the web.
Benefits for the client :
Bring an immediate view on relevant information directly impacting the business of the client
Recommended tools :
I recommend the use of welcome page such as Netvibes.
Easier to understand for beginners, uses tabs, with a clean and slick ajax interface
Other tools available :
Which RSS feeds to include :
Keywords :
As always, it’s all about the keywords and their relevancy.
Additionnal resources
Any other feedback or experience to share is more than welcome 🙂
[EDITED] Some Text 100 references
Following Jeremy’s request, some additionnal references :
I’ve just seen a twitter message from a french journalist mentionning a press release he received with Opt in solution – it really impressed him.
http://twitter.com/couve/status/8583135307
Translation: “I received a press release with opt-in (I subscribe / unsubscribe). This is the first time. There is hope !”
I wonder if any of you already expericed such solutions, and what feedback did you get ?
I would tend to find such a solution quite brilliant …
This Twitter message appear just after a video I’ve seen last week
This video is clearly very controversial (see some reactions here : http://www.prweek.com/news/bulletin/UKDaily/article/980491/?DCMP=EMC-UKDaily#comment)
As underlines some of my colleagues :
“I’m split 30:70 on whether such a campaign is beneficial for journo-PR relationships, or actually quite detrimental in that it’s trying to define a relationship with rules. Some things should be left unsaid, especially in relationships. If journalists have concerns about receiving spam PR e-mail, then they should ask to be removed from lists… PR’s should be diligent in doing so. Simple.”
Of course, I know all the effort at Text 100 to build targetted press list. But the video is also some electrochoc for the rest of the industry. I tend to think that solutions such as opt in + Social media newsroom could be a good way to cleverly push information to the perfect target.
Your opinion ?
We’ve asked you your feedback about the Disruptionblog as a plateform and in term of content to know how to improve the place (and a someone lucky got a fantastic Tshirt 🙂
Only 5% of the people registered on the Disruptionblog actually took the time to answer those questions, but with a lot of very detailed and inspiring suggestions. It’s now time to share them with you 🙂
All the people that answered seems to be part of the regular readers, using both the website or the RSS feed.
Even if 75% of the respondant currently are happy with the frequency, only 50% actually read the content.
It seems that the content is considered as interesting (at least most of the time 🙂 but case studies definitely needs to be shared more often as people claim for them
Contribution is an issue for the Disruptionblog. And no suprise here : time is a big problem for everybody here 🙂 Note : since the respondant represent very frequent reader of the blog, no surprise they are overweighted in the survey.
And that’s the same for commenting :S
Since the design seems to be quite OK, recommendations are always welcome. Weekly newsletter will then come back, and the tag cloud will be less flashy 🙂 As for the cramped homepage, we’ll investigate solutions, but any more specific recommandations are more than welcome.
Those comments are very interesting. Should you like to add comments and them, feel free to share.
Any other thought that come to mind ?
Let’s face it, Twitter was really the word of year 2010. Maybe even overhyped … And the latest “State of the Twittersphere” by hubspot tends to really balance the craze over Twitter. Less growth, but more engagement … a sign of maturity ? The latest survey shows a few stats, interesting to keep in mind as long as you’ll speak about Twitter. Speaking of stats, let’s keep in mind that
– Twitter users are currently 50 millions, half of them being americans
– Twitter.com has 1.5 million unique visitors (oct 09, comscore)
– 127 500 french (sysomos 2010 jan)
New feature on the disruptionblog – from now on, each post will display a block of information about its author. For that, that author of the post has to get its gravatar (the avatar image used to identify a blog user) set up and some information entered in its profile.
It’s your chance to showcase yourself and write a few word about your work.
To set up a gravatar : http://disruptionblog.com/?p=1523
To enter information about yourself (if you haven’t already done it during the registration process) and edit your profile : http://disruptionblog.com/wp-admin/profile.php
Should you have any question, feel free to shout 🙂
Okay, everybody already have seen this video, but you’ll have to admit this a good one 🙂 Just for the pleasure of your eyes, it’s now shared here on vimeo.
By the way, does anybody knows who is the company who made that great animation ?
It’s really a nice one to keep in mind as an example for some of our client works.
It’s been (already) a year since we launched the new version of the disruptionblog on a new plateform with new functionnalities and more contributions. We’d really like to have your feedback about this plateform – is it just a toy, or something that has become important for the vision of our business ? Do you read it often ? Do you contribute to it ? It’s your chance to express yourself, and to win a fantastic and ultra cool Firefox collector TShirt for the 5 years of the browser that will make all your (geeky) colleague jealous. Just leave us your email address on the survey, and we will pick a name randomly among all the participant early january.
The survey is open until january 5th.

A few stats to share :
Chargement…
It’ll maybe seems obvious for most of you, but I’ve find it really powerful : I’m in charge for the few weeks for the social media training in the UK office. And to assess the level in Social Media to prepare my training program, I just created a survey, and sent to the team to let them have their own feedback, with very interesting insights and comments. As for me, I used a googledoc form (I find this is a remarkable tool to run surveys). You’ll find hereunder the PDF generated after the survey. And you, have you asked in your office what people expects in term of trainings ?
