Xava Thoughts

  • Content that creates emotional response from people and see the traffic rise – Summary from @sarahfwood #websummit
  • Social Media Measurement – the future of analytics #websummit
  • Did you watch Felix Baumgartner skydive hoping something would go wrong? @janrezab #websummit
  • Summary from #digital stage social media works like human society-word of mouth, engagement & content matter-its just all online #websummit
  • Makelovenotporn has a category dedicated to sexual bedroom(or kitchen if you are so pleased) bloopers#websummit
  • There is money to be made in sex – D’UH!! Probably Homer Simpson knows that too #websummit
  • How socialising porn led to reinventing money!! Some link cos of mainstream companies refusing to work with the sex industry #websummit
  • @cindygallop wants to blow the biases attached to the sex industry to smithereens and not compromise the name or identity of her venture.
  • 4square allows micro-reviews – again allowing u 2 engage with strangers but in a way that wasnt possible without#socialmedia #websummit
  • Some people need to stop using the stage to plug products and new services – I am here to listen to stories of why or how things are done and not to listen to a feature list that I can read about on the web anyway – thats what the old WWW is all about!
