How things “change”… (Top Word of 2008) The Global Language Monitor has announced that “Twitter” is the Top Word of 2009 in its annual global survey of the English language. The survey examines the internet, the media, and an electronic database to estimate how many times certain topics are brought up.
Founder Paul Payack said: “In a year dominated by world-shaking political events, a pandemic, the after effects of a financial tsunami, and the death of a revered pop icon, the word Twitter stands above all the other words.”
This is great new for us at Poker, especially the social media department as this is proof, if needed, that Twitter continues to head up the portals for news and information.
YouTube recently added full 1080p HD support to its video playback options; this is great news as a growing number of consumer video cameras are now supporting the true HD format. This means we will be watching all the cute babies, skateboarding dogs and bad dancing in glorious detail and there will be no hiding behind poor quality videos in all those parodies any more.
To celebrate this new format, YouTube have teamed up with the Muppets for what has to be one of the best parodies ever … and possibly the Christmas number 1 … with this Bohemian Rhapsody cover.
The delightful Hannah Reville is the newest media savvy lass to join our team at Poker PR.
She fits into the role of Social Media Assistant and is a natural at finding what she needs on the web, and communicating on sites such as Twitter and Facebook is second nature.
Hannah will play an integral role in all social media campaigns, which are fast becoming a huge element of what we do.
Welcome on board!
We’ve been saying this at Poker for a while that Twitter would soon become as powerful as other search engines for discovering the latest happenings on the net – and it’s happening right before our eyes.
Twitter has shifted the balance from being a broadcast tool, where users tell the world about what one had for breakfast, to a portal for breaking news and information.
According to Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, no longer is the day where its micro blogging format is used exclusively for “personal musings”, but “people are witnessing accidents, organising events, breaking news… and so much more”. “The fundamental open model of Twitter created a new kind of information network and it has long outgrown the concept of personal status updates”.
