Thanks for posting my Kuroshio sea video!

Social media was the reason it got so popular! Alot of people tweeted it, posted it on their facebook profiles, tumblr profiles, and blogs!

I’m following you now too. :)

cheers,
JON.

Update on the Kuroshio Sea video, the Barcelona members shot a video thanking Jon Rawlinson’s video. Turns out sales of their album shot up because of the video and they recorded their own to thank everyone.

You’re right it would be a great TV Channel. Especially at feeding time. I never understood the logs and I’m not sure if the bunnies ever made it here at Easter time, but they are freaky.

Wouldn’t that make an amazing TV channel? Something to just have on while you’re putting around the house? Infinitely better than that crazy Christmas fireplace!

As for social media, I think you’ve hit on why it’s so important to be engaged, at even a cursory level. People are gathering information on their own from lots of online sources these days and your information could just be exactly what they’re looking for — even if they don’t know it yet.

Interesting. I’ve had a more direct experience. After noticing a tweet for marketing work needed for a couple of remote lodges, I followed up immediately by email. The tweet was not by the company itself, but by a 3rd party organization the company had posted details at. Within a few minutes I received a request from the President’s assistant to call him directly that evening for a discussion. He later told me that only happened because I had followed up so quickly after they released the information. Personal experience – social media works for business.

That’s how social media rolls isn’t it? Ya just never know what path it will take. To “figure it out” just makes one’s head spin. It’s better to start small and build on it as you get more comfortable. Add value and be consistent, and pretty soon it takes on a life of its own.

I agree. That video is amazing, I forwarded it on to my family. They loved it, thanks. Now I’m going to listen to some Barcelona…
