1. Tell us about the early days of social media at TransLink:
Well, initially we started a Twitter feed during the Olympics with the aim of communicating with media outlets. We hoped to alert them of service disruptions. Internally we organized the resources so that Twitter was supported 20 hours a day during those 17 days. Our plan was well received by the public and our dedicated team and systems associated with the channel grew strong. After the Olympics, our budget was reduced and we had to begin managing the channel(s) from our own desks.

If you’re a homeowner, then you know the importance of maintaining your house. As long as you keep your home from deteriorating, you’ll be taking care of that long term investment. There’s always something you need to add, subtract or repair around your house.
A good business website can be the same. You don’t just put up all your information on your website and sit back and relax. Like a home, there’s always one, two or twelve things you may need to do. Maintaining your website is a good practice for any business.
Aside from having a better page ranking on search engines, a dynamic website also attracts visitors and keeps them coming back for more. If you’re interested in updating your current website and want to take advantage of this limited time offer, call us for a quote on any of your website maintenance needs or see below for promotion details.

We found an iPhone application recently that’s really mastered the integration of social media and made it a core strength. It’s the Nike+ GPS application for runners / walkers. At only $1.99, it’s the bomb diggety. Yep, I said it, bomb diggety.
Based on this, October 17 Media has come up with a list of social media features you should try to apply to your own iPhone application:
(P.S. We do social media consulting and brainstorming if you want custom ideas… and in all honesty, we don’t cost that much either!)
