27 May: An interesting article from the latest edition of Marketing Week pointed to the link between brand engagement and profits. This is undoubtedly a hugely positive piece of news for online marketers, who are at the forefront of consumer engagement.

26 May: Yesterday's Dellb2b Social Media Huddle that took place at Microsoft's London office - it has excellent facilities for this type of event including robust and reliable wi-fi - was highly worthwhile, according to much of the comment I heard from many participants in the pub last night after the event. (In the pub: that's where you get real feedback.)

26 May: I think I'm a bit late spotting this new trend of Haul Videos, where kids/shoppers show their Haul, ie, the stuff they bought. This report on ABC News reckons there is more than 100,000 Haul Videos.
Blair Fowler, for example, has become a bit of a superstar and she has packed in school to concentrate on making Haul Videos. She has even got an agent now.
