Mapping visualisation of 250 million Facebook users

Twitter data – the anti timesheet?

Katie Chatfield mentioned Xefer.com/twitter data visualisation tool at Ad:Tech Sydney. The tool allows you to plot a ‘twitterers’ behaviour over a week.

Choosing a social media agency

Here’s a check-list for evaluating social media agencies – with my thoughts inline. First posted on Connect. 1.
