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.
For the original post click here
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.

The Five Pillars of Social Media Marketing
Posted by Rory Martin in Social Media Marketing on March 19, 2009
Great article from MarketingPilgrim.com
Any and all forms of Social Media Marketing tactics fall under at least one of these five forms of action. Often the same channel will incorporate two or more of these:
1.   Declaration of Identity
2.   Identity through Association
3.   User-initiated Conversation
4.   Provider-initiated Conversation
5.   In-Person Interaction
Identity-based Interaction is your declaration of your value, who you are, and where you can be found. Your customer happens upon your online identity that you, as a provider, define and declare. This is anything from your About Us pages on your blog or website, to your MySpace profile, to your Naymz profile. Here, there is very little interaction outside of your own declaration, but this becomes critical in defining how you can benefit your marketplace.
There has been a recent outcrop of websites created purely for this function. An expanded business card, if you will. Most also include the opportunity to link to your other forms of presence online, bringing together your presence in one place…well, kind-of. They include:
•   Naymz
•   Ziki
•   ClaimID
•   SuprGlu
•   LinkedIn
Association-based Interaction is your customers’ opportunity to associate themselves with you and you with your customers. Most obviously, this is accomplished through things like becoming “Friends†on MySpace, you and your customers’ BlogRoll, or through their social bookmarking. This is your customer wearing your company’s logo proudly – Like Andy wears his Beatles shirts.
The most explicit form of allowing for this ability is through social bookmarking sites. I say this, and not social networking sites, because this is the sole function of these sites. Make it easy for your customers to bookmark your site, blog posts, etc with their favorite tool.

Competitor Analysis in Seattle
Posted by Rory Martin in Uncategorized on March 10, 2009
The RoryMartin.com method of competitor analysis in Seattle is the process of reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of existing and upcoming competitors. The analysis provides an offensive and defensive strategic framework through which to identify opportunities and threats.
Seattle competitor analysis is an essential part of corporate strategy. Many firms do not conduct this type of analysis often enough. Instead, many companies operate on impressions and intuition, based on experience. As a result, traditional practices place most firms at risk of having competitive blindspots due to a lack of this, competitor analysis.
No matter your location, firms in Arlington, Auburn, Bellevue, Boise, Bonney Lake, Bremerton, Des Moines, Edmonds, Everett, Gig Harbor, Graham, Indianola, Issaquah, Kent, Kingston, Kirkland, Lake Stevens, Langley, Los Angeles, Lynnwood, Marysville, Mill Creek, Mukilteo, Oak Harbor, Olympia, Orting, Portland, Port Gamble, Port Orchard, Poulsbo, Puyallup, Redmond, Renton, SeaTac,  Seattle, Silverdale, Snohomish, Southworth, Steilacoom, Suquamish, Tacoma, Tukwila, Tumwater, and Yelm, can all benefit from local Competitor analysis.
