Video outtakes from Motor Transport

I'm no truck fan but I do like this video of outtakes from my colleagues at Motor Transport. Anyone doing video will have this kind of content. Make sure you use it.

Video: Terry Wogan - the best bits

After eons Sir Terry Wogan's last show on BBC Radio 2 was broadcast on the morning of Friday 18 December 2009. Love the web cos the BBC has shared this pit of footage. I thought I would share this for that reason - I'm not a fan of Sir Terry, but heh, he's got a grand voice.

Making the most of thankyou pages

Am looking at thankyou pages and came across this post which sums up why a thankyou page is so important in user experience. The thankyou page is not the end of the process - as many thankyou pages make out - but the start of engagement with the user.

If they got to a thankyou page the user has done something positive with you - signed up to an email, bought something etc - so this is the point at which you want the user to carry on engaging with you.

They might not want to carry on engaging at that point but at the very least give them the option.

Boosting blog traffic through social media

Great post here on how to use tools such as Twitter to drive engagement with your content. Note to me: start doing this stuff now.

In the post there was a word of warning on using automation tools to ease messaging between different networks. I have just stopped tweeting direct into my Facebook profile for this reason . . .

A word of caution. While all this automation can sound like a blissful thing, you may find your amplification efforts more effective if you take the time to customize your updates and the way you refer to your content in slightly different ways for different networks. I can’t put my finger on it exactly, but followers on Twitter react in different ways than friends on Facebook or connections on LinkedIn.
