Channel Adoption and Usage Study in Customer Service: Third Year

Channel Adoption and Usage Study in Customer Service: Third Year

By Esteban Kolsky on January 6, 2015

As I promised earlier this year, I conducted the third run of the channel adoption and usage study (focused on customer service) that my friends at KANA, a Verint Company,  continue to generously sponsor. Truth be told, it took a little longer than expected to get to the right number of answers, but we did […]

Twitter — from friendly village to noisy megalopolis

Twitter — from friendly village to noisy megalopolis

By David Terrar on December 15, 2014

A few things struck me today about Twitter and about one aspect of a World gone social. I subscribe to a great service called Timehop, which reminds me every day about tweets and Twitter conversations for this day but 1, 2, 3 and more years ago. It’s a great way to bring back things you […]

pretzel logic: l’acte deux

By Sameer Patel on August 5, 2013

Five years ago I started this blog because I felt really strongly about an ill conceived contention in a blog post about the promise of RSS. Hours before I read that post, I had no intention or desire to blog but I felt really strongly about my PoV and decided to put up a blog […]

Yahoo and Tumblr – Avoiding Commoditization by Association

By Maggie Fox on May 22, 2013

So, it’s official – while many of us (especially on Twitter) waited and watched over the weekend after All Things D broke the story, Yahoo has agreed to buy content sharing platform Tumblr for $1.1 billion in cash.

By Denis Pombriant on May 3, 2012

With the Facebook IPO just around the corner some people have started wondering if a “Facebook killer” might be lurking in the bushes and the new photo sharing website Pinterest has become the new darling.  Well, maybe.

Mobility’s Future Seen in Instagram Acquisition

Mobility’s Future Seen in Instagram Acquisition

By Denis Pombriant on April 18, 2012

CRM vendors that have wondered about the necessity of porting their applications to the small screen (i.e. mobile) should take note of last week’s acquisition of Instagram by Facebook. Instagram is the tip of a big iceberg and is perhaps a signal of yet another disruption in a disruption prone industry.  It represents a big […]

Twitter Drafting – Marketing in the Tweetstream

Twitter Drafting – Marketing in the Tweetstream

By Merv Adrian on February 2, 2011

Racing fans – cars or bicycles – are familiar with the concept of drafting – travelling close behind another vehicle to reduce wind resistance.
