The Game is On! Winter Olympics 2010 Twitter vs. Facebook

Friday’s kick off for the Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver was not only the start of a competition between athletes in winter sports like curling, bobsleighing, ski jumping, ice hockey – OK, you get the picture.

In a recent article, titled “Facebook and Twitter Compete for Olympic Glory” the New York Times introduced a new discipline for these Winter Olympics; the “Social Media Slalom”.

Well, in fact it really was the I.O.C. that talked about the first social media Olympics, as you will read below. However, these Winter Olympics indeed seem to be a competition between social media giants Facebook and Twitter.

Which one will be the most actively used by the online population to get their news from and which one will be the best in connecting and involving people?

Social media conversations: IntelBuilder 2.1; a tool to create and measure it!

It’s interesting to follow what I call the Klondike cycle of Social Media. The gold rush started by wanting to make the first giants, YouTube, Facebook, Myspace, Ning, Linkedin, Twitter, etc.

Then the social media marketing consultants boomed, experts, gurus, ninja’s everywhere claiming to be able to turn conversations into gold for companies.

Now I have a feeling that there is a major boom in tools to help all the consultants and companies managing and monitoring those conversations turning into gold.
