Social Media Marketing Meets Social Responsibility at RoryMartin.com
Seattle-based social media marketing firm helps companies increase their brand awareness while furthering their philanthropic efforts with “Blog for a Blog, Blog for a Cause” Program.
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) June 30, 2009 — RoryMartin.com, an innovative Seattle Web design and online marketing agency, announced a new social media marketing program, “Blog for a Blog, Blog for a Cause.” The program is designed for companies, large and small, that are looking to expand their social media marketing and search engine optimization efforts, while launching or enhancing their philanthropic efforts.
“People and companies are feeling more and more empowered to give back and make an impact,” said Rory Martin, founder and CEO of RoryMartin.com. “This program was inspired by a recent experience with my mom, who proudly modeled shoes that she purchased on Tomsshoes.com. For every pair of shoes purchased, one pair of shoes goes to a child in need. ‘Blog for a Blog, Blog for a Cause’ takes a similar approach and helps companies we work with tap into the power of social media to build and grow their businesses, while contributing to the causes they believe in.”

“When social media marketing is combined with traditional search engine optimization tactics it can be a very powerful way to increase an organization’s brand awareness and engage their customers, prospects, and supporters in rewarding and ongoing dialogue,” says Martin. “This program helps individuals do this for their businesses and the causes they care about.” One of RoryMartin.com’s first clients to participate in this program is Bytor Security, who launched a section within their current blog to highlight their commitment to the National Cancer Institute.

Now That It’s The One Millionth and First Word, “Web 3.0″ Can Be Retired To The Dictionary
Posted by Rory Martin in Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Marketing, Social Networking, Web Design and Development on June 10, 2009
I kid I kid but…seriously?
As a Seattle Web Design company that specializes in Seattle Search Engine Optimization and Seattle Social Media Marketing, I think TechCrunch is sweet and reference it as much as possible. The following are some examples of how we’ll work with you even if you’re not a big corporate company but have monthly marketing budget.

What do you do if you are an obscure language group in Austin, Texas looking for attention? You declare “Web 2.0″ the one millionth word
in the English language. So says the Global Language Monitor, which looks at usage of words on the Web and adds them to its online dictionaries. “Web 2.0″ has been in common usage for a long time, even though Merriam-Webster does not yet recognize it. But interest in the term peaked long ago, and everyone is pretty much ready to move on now. Even John Battelle and Tim O’Reilly, who popularized the term with their Web 2.0 conferences, realize the term is stale. They are looking to extend their brand by calling their next conference “Web Squared.” I guess Web 3.0 was taken.
Kudos to the Language Monitor for picking the one word guaranteed to get them coverage. I just don’t think that “Hai Joi” (Word No. 999,999) or “Noob” (No. 999,998) would have elicited the same response. However, their definition is not so great:
Web 3.0 – The next generation of web products and services, coming soon to a browser near you.

We’ve discussed some tactics to get your company better engaged with social media. Lest you think there’s a limit to how you can connect with business and customer facing audiences, we’ve assembled this list of more than 35 companies who are experimenting with social media in a host of different ways.
This list is by no means exhaustive, and it represents a wide variety of businesses, industries and social media tools. As you can see, engagement takes many forms. Some are likely to generate more discussions with the company while others might result better connections between customers. Some will fade away over the next 6-12 months while others will continue to grow and evolve.
There are no rules to what form your engagement has to take. Look at your company, identify its strengths, what types of conversations energize employees and determine how you can best grow/shape/build/join your own community.
If you have other examples of corporate social media engagement, please share them in the comments.

TwitDoc: Proving That Every File Format Will Eventually Be Shareable Over Twitter
Posted by Rory Martin in Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Marketing on May 10, 2009
Here is the link for the full story on http://www.techcrunch.com.
Twitter is quickly turning into the media sharing platform of choice for many people, despite the fact that it, uh, doesn’t have any actual media sharing functionality. But a variety of services are popping up to fill the need, including countless Twitter-specific sites for sharing images, music, and video.
Today TwitDoc
is launching what appears to be the first service for sharing documents over Twitter, bringing support for PDFs, Microsoft Office Documents, and a bunch of other file formats. The site has integrated with popular document sharing hub Scribd
It’s a handy tool, but I doubt it will reach the same level of popularity as TwitPic
As a Seattle Web Design company that specializes in Seattle Search Engine Optimization and Seattle Social Media Marketing, I really like this stuff.
