Great video from Socialnomic Erik Qualman

If you are 35 yrs or older you are rather familiar with many of the products in this video.

Other then what is in this video are there any products or services you would add?

Here are a couple I can think of.

1. Books
2. Party Lines (Phone)

5 Large Companies That Get Social Media & 3 Small Business Takeaways.

Here is a great infographic that Scott Monty's Social Media Marketing Blog Scott is the head of social media for the Ford Motor Company. Yes they are all big corporate companies with even bigger budgets and personnel. However as a small business owner you can take away some good ideas to implement into your own web presence strategy.

Here are 3 takeways that I thought might be helpful.

• Listen- Listen to your customers. This is often missed in the daily grind of a small business. WHAT TO DO: If you are a small business owner delegate employees to take shifts listening to the online chatter and report back.

• Surprise Loyalty- Surprise those that are loyal and spread the word about your business. Nothing is better than getting an unexpected girft or discount and especially being made feel special around the holidays is just a great feeling. WHAT TO DO: If you’re a small business surprise your fan's with a discount or free desert.

• Engage Fans- Interact with your fan base. Too many companies miss this one and it’s the easiest most inexpensive way to get a raving fan. WHAT TO DO: If you’re a small business pick a time during the week that you will make yourself available online to engage with your customers and personally answer questions.

Your Toilet Seat is Cleaner Than Your Laptop [INFOGRAPHIC]

All Thanksgiving holiday weekend I saw everyone on Facebook, Twitter being thankful for health, family, friends, which are all fantastic, but nobody mentioned being thankful for clean electronic devices.

I am going on the record to say that I am thankful for the new computer that ReachLocal provided earlier this month especially after 2 years of use.

(Reasons)

1. Keyboards, on average, are five times dirtier then toilet.
2. Computer keyboards have 60 times more germs on them than toilet seats.
3. Computer Keyboards are 150 times over the acceptable limit for bacteria.

This infographic was created by Keeping It Kleen, reveals the dirty secrets of our tech gadgets we don’t really want to know. Just another great way a company uses an infographics to promote a product or service.

PS- The dirtiest device in your house is the TV remote.
