The Social Network aka. “The Facebook Movie”

by Chris Stenberg on 16. Jul, 2010 in Consumer Culture, Movies

Perhaps I’ve developed the same voyeuristic tendencies that everyone else in this social media generation has. Peeping away at the lives of others from behind the veil of the computer. While I may sound a bit cynical, I actually believe that Facebook has been a good thing for the world. We are connected now in [...]

Facebook Traffic Conversion

by Chris Stenberg on 14. Jun, 2010 in Conversion Optimization, Internet Marketing

My recent post on the Nissan Leaf electric car went mini-viral quite quickly, and it led to some interesting data in terms of Facebook referral to Google AdSense click conversion.

The oddly semi-narcissistic trend swept Facebook with people posting all kinds of interesting doppelganger choices. Facebook being what it is though, [...]

Facebook Privacy Breach — Well, Sort Of…

by Chris Stenberg on 13. Jan, 2010 in Social Media

Social networking privacy is becoming more of a concern for me as I now have accounts not just on Facebook, but also on Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Digg, StumbleUpon, etc. etc. A while back there was a privacy notice that popped up when I logged into Facebook.

Facebook Bra Color Status Update

Facebook Bra Color Status Update

by Chris Stenberg on 07. Jan, 2010 in Consumer Culture, Marketing, Social Media

Why is everyone posting colors on Facebook? Over the past few weeks a bra-color related status update phenomenon has been sweeping Facebook. To those out of the loop it seemed a bit weird. What does this mean? Apparently it is a breast cancer awareness campaign where women change their status to match bra color. It’s [...]
