Post written by Joanna Ezekiel Twitter can be a confusing place. There are so many people, and so much content being shared. Don’t get me wrong, that’s an amazing thing – it makes Twitter one of the most exciting social networks around. But it can be difficult to know where to start, who to follow, and where to get the best content. I’m not going to tell you that this is the definitive list of [...]

Post written by Jonah Balfour This was a very exciting morning in Israel. After more than five years in captivity, Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was returned to Israel. It was amazing how all of Israel tuned-in to the news, whether on TV, the Internet, or the social Web. At one point it felt like all Web access had somehow slowed down, probably due to everyone simultaneously refreshing their browsers for more news. As the events [...]

Post written by Kevin Swaine Last week Facebook announced another set of changes to the popular social network. In a surprise move, one of those changes gave the power back to the Facebook user to monitor what photos are tagged of him or her. As most people are trying to ensure that their parents don’t see pictures of them lying on the ground outside a club, passed out due to the drinking of their own [...]

Post written by Shahar Goldfinger Yesterday a friend took a picture of me and two other friends sitting together at a coffee shop with all our heads buried in our smartphones. When he was asked why he did this he yelled “This is what these <expletive deleted> phones are making us! We don’t communicate anymore! Every morning before I wash my face I check my phone! It’s not normal!” That got me thinking, is technology [...]

Post written by Jonah Balfour I’m still digesting the massive amount of announcements that Steve Jobs and Apple dropped at their recent WWDC keynote, but I was particularly interested in the new built-in Twitter integration that is part of iOS 5. There had been word about this shortly before the keynote so it wasn’t really a surprise to me, nor was it a particularly ground breaking announcement. It’s awesome, to be sure, but the integration [...]

When Blonde 2.0 began to assist HP Israel’s Personal Systems Group with their social media marketing efforts, we found they had no representation in the social media world. A community had not yet been built for the group and their customer base did not have a proper network to turn to for questions and answers. Over the course of a few months’ time, Blonde 2.0 and HP quickly exposed HP Israel’s PSG group to the [...]

Yesterday I attended Jeff Pulver‘s 140 Conference in Tel Aviv. I really enjoyed @thekotel‘s presentation which unfortunately I didn’t film but go to the twitter profile and check it out. Alon Nir is doing a remarkable job there. The lecture I enjoyed in particular was Yaniv Golan’s (CTO of Yedda)  “The 140-characters Netscape” where he stated: “I believe that in 2 years the Twitter brand will be in the same position as the Netscape brand [...]

(Guest post by Dorine Sinigaglia) Recently, I noticed a friend of mine following a food truck company on Twitter. Call me old-fashioned, but I didn’t even know food trucks were still around – let alone had Twitter accounts! Food vendors always reminded me of a place where starved businessmen would run to grab a quick bite in TV sitcoms. I realized I knew very little about this business, so I began to do some research, as the [...]
