Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

Facebook Social Immediacy – this is how Facebook comments became KGTI radio playlist on GrooveShark.

  • Chris Dumas, GTI Facebook fan created a KGTI playlist for us!  Thanks Chris!
  • Leann Lytle, another GTI fan, came up with the name: KGTI – Thanks Leann!

Chris Dumas created KGTI as a result of a comment made by Bill Miller, GTI SEO Specialist.  Excerpt from GTI Facebook page, the convo went like this:

KGTI Radio

Bill posted this comment about how invasive music is when you land on a website page.

It is much better to give users the option to turn on a tune for a myriad of reasons, states Bill with the following four points:

  1. Who says I like your music?
  2. It will embarrass your visitor and chase them off your site-We’ve all done this, went to a website and music started playing and the boss is right next to you in the meeting.
  3. I want information not a tune, I’ll go t…o itunes for that.
  4. Top performing websites don’t have music ie Craigslist, amazon etc.

And with the immediacy of social media. this is the gist of the article’s title Social-Media-See – social-immediacy.
KGTI playlist looks like this:

Have a great week!
