2204355 - Spoof, Goof, or Start of a Viral Campaign for KFC?

2010-06-28T20:11:00Z

Go to Google, type in 2204355 and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky" and you'll go directly to a flash vid of a guy with a chicken drumstick in each hand dancing to some generic music with a pyschadelic background playing. Kind of weird. Good start if it's part of a ad campaign, it's being talked about all over the web. I found it on Time.com a few minutes ago. Anyone have an idea what it might be?...(read more)

2010-06-25T18:51:00Z

My apologies, this is not really about SalesLogix Cloud , but I couldn't resist the headline. By now you've probably heard about the epic fail of the iPhone 4 that's dominating the web today . I just wanted to post the email from Jobs to a customer that touched off the firestorm. This was followed up by an Apple spokesperson who suggested buying a rubber band Apple just happened to be selling, in order to fix the problem. Fail....(read more)

Linkedin Users Can Now Follow Companies - Follow Customer FX

2010-04-30T18:00:00Z

Rolled out last night, it seems Linkedin is playing catch up with Twitter and Facebook. Good move on their part, as the old company pages were basically static billboards with a feed from your blog. What next for Linkedin? How about more control of the company page and a way to interact with visitors. That would be pretty cool. Check out the Customer FX Linkedin profile, and while you're there, how about following us? http://www.linkedin.com/companies/customer-fx...(read more)

Killing Trees Is Stoopid - Moving to the Cloud - Part 9a

2010-04-27T12:29:00Z

E-Signatures. Eliminating printing, signing and faxing/scanning contracts, sales orders, and all of the other docs we use that need approvals and signatures. This is a solution we've been talking about for a few years, but somehow it was always pushed down the priority list. When thinking about how to remove friction from the customer experience in working with Customer FX, this process struck me as being a pain in the ass. The same PITA process I go through when working with 99.9% of the vendors...(read more)

Our Very Own Custom Facebook URL - Finally

2010-04-05T17:23:00Z

For the last few months we've been focusing on making our Facebook Fan Page a good resource. We added a YouTube page last week, and have more fun stuff planned. The long, cryptic URL for Fan pages has always bugged me, especially the vague requirements Facebook describes to qualify for a "custom" URL. Some combination of number of Fans, age of page, quality of posts, etc. Or something. So we've just focused on creating a good resource. Anyway, our work has paid off and I am pleased...(read more)

Video - Social Media Revolution or Evolution? [Video]

2010-03-04T14:35:00Z

I was going through my YouTube favorites the other day and came across this video from last fall. It got me thinking about the evolution of "Social Media" from Compuserve, Prodigy, Bulletin Board systems and such, to blogs and forums, and the mass market social sites of today like, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and the rest. It really has been evolving for more than 2 decades. Maybe more of an explosion than revolution, but the numbers in this video are pretty mind blowing. Some of the facts...(read more)
