Read of the Day #1: “What The Hell Just Happened at Google?” (via ReadWriteWeb)
RWW examines the mess at Google. Just yesterday, they announced financial news (bad news, at that) in the morning instead of the end of the day. And it wasn’t the right version of the news release. Could these be symptomatic of bigger issues in their business?
Read of the Day #2: “Metrics That Matter” (via Kasey Skala)
In a word: YES.
Kasey preaches results-driven social media programs. And the example he gives with his brand (Great Clips) and Old Spice is fantastic. They had an idea, they tested it with a relatively low investment and it performed well. Smart, calculated and successful. Well done!
