This is a great story! I had a similar experience with MarketWire, I tweeted to ask if anyone had used them and got a response from them almost immediately. GREAT way for companies to use SM!

That sounds like an amazing customer service experience. I hope more companies see the value in social media. Obviously Mike and his company do; and they used the medium in the right way.

That’s great! Tweetgrid.com is another good service for monitoring tweets of various keywords.

Whoa, a Blurb book. Just checked out the website, and it looks like something that’s right up my alley! I created a scrapbook for my family for Christmas a few years ago that was a big hit! The process, however (printing out those photos manually, buying all the materials, gluing things together), was oh so arduous and a mess.

A Blurb book seems like the perfect way to keep the creation process digital and have the physical product printed and delivered right to my door.

Do I have that about right? Colleen, would like to more about your experience in creating a Blurb book yourself. If it’s positive, I may just take the plunge. After all, Christmas is but a few weeks away!

Thanks Colleen, I’ll be sure to send them the link. Always best to hear good stories from the people that experienced them, right? =)

@Raul – sure Summize with pick it up, but those are easy to weed through. I don’t see that as a big issue.

@Sameer – Sure, thanks for asking! Be sure to point them here for more info! :)

The only problem is if someone else uses the word “blurb” (which we do – “hey can you send me a little blurb about so and so”) and of course, Summize will pick it up!

Nice to hear they are in social media!
