    Are you on foursquare yet?
    My last post ‘Are you playing the Foursquare game?‘ had me ranting on whether there is scope for marketers to tap the ever increasing user base on Foursquare. Foursquare has already answered my question. Cafes are now offering “Mayor Specials” – a free coffee or  appetizer or maybe a special discount to the mayors of their [...]

    Brainstorming on Social CRM
    A little brainstorming on customer support using online communities at the office. That little distortion / blob / rectangle on bottom left is my rendition of how a community support overlay should look like. Doesn’t look very good, does it? I guess I need to work on my drawing skills, eh? :) document.getElementById("post-698-blankimage").onload();Oops! No related posts [...]

    Are you playing the Foursquare game?
    As if whats on your mind and what are you doing wasn’t enough we now have where are you? Don’t get me wrong. From the day I was introduced to Foursquare I have been hooked on to it! I have been checking where ever I go, and it’s become quite addictive. Foursquare is following more [...]

    The underbelly of Indian social media industry
    Having been on the hunt for a social business executive to join our team here at Superchooha, I have had the pleasure (and sometimes horrendous) experience of meeting over 40 applicants in the past 3 weeks. Some shocking facts that I have come to realise from the experience: Disclaimer I’m not a social media guru / evangelist [...]

    A look behind the addiction called Farmville
    Zynga’s Farmville has taken the world by storm! And its not just the teens mind you, people of all age groups and walks of life are hooked to virtual farming! But what is this craze about? And most importantly WHY? Maybe because, in a day and age where land rates are sky high, everyone can have [...]

    The piano
    Sitting in the corner, oh so proud and so shiny What would the choohas do without you, Mr. Piano. Damn, that didn’t rhyme. There’s nothing like writing a case study at 4 AM after a quick blast of rhytmless strumming on the office piano. Oh and did I mention that it is the coolest thing to [...]

    Can enterprise micro-blogging actually work?
    You open the internet, and it’s everywhere. It’s Twitter this and Twitter that. Why has it become so popular in the recent years, achieving a staggering growth of 500%? It’s not because it is cool or it’s a cool piece of technology. It’s caught on because it’s changed the way we communicate on the internet for [...]

    An advice to marketers: What not to do on Twitter
    Now that Twitter is (sorta) becoming a mainstream media channel; the past few years have seen celebs, movie houses and news channels adopting Twitter to ‘connect’ to the audience. But how good can Twitter itself prove when it comes to Direct Marketing? And that too by such shady means. Often PR companies who give social media [...]
