The challenge with most brands attempting to utilize this level of Facebook Connect integration is the seasonality of their product. Seems like Levi’s is using sku-specific reviews, likes, purchases, etc.
A better experience would be to see what anyone in my network has tweeted, purchased, liked, etc. instead of what only my FB friends have liked.
One more example of how a platform agnostic social graph could make the web a better place.

Mission Cheese opened today in my neighborhood. I already love this place because a.) passion for cheese was how the restaurant idea was born b.) the owner used indiegogo.com to fund the extra $12k they ended up needing to open c.) they are small and innovative- down to their POS system which runs on an iPad
Mission Cheese is one of a handful of San Francisco restaurants first to use POS Lavu. At a quick glance both in-person and online POS Lavu exemplifies the simple and intuitive user experience that Apple hardware has made available with the iPhone and iPad.

The Next Web posted this interview and how-to with Dave Olson from HootSuite. TNW recommends that existing HootSuite users have their account open before starting the video and I totally concur. Dave moves fast and the 19 minutes is dense with info and tips. For those short on time you can skip the first two minutes of niceties and get to the meat.

Note that the information is a few months old so new HS features have undoubtedly been added but the info is still relevant.

The RememberMe artwork is a collaborative project with the Oxfam shop, near Contact Theatre. Leading up to FutureEverything, a research assistant will be based in the shop and recording brief stories about the donated objects into a microphone: where they acquired it, the memories attached and any associated stories. This audio clip will be linked to an RFID tag and QR code.

From the number of mumbles I heard when this was announced at the web 2.0 Applied Communilytics Intensive I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who didn’t know…
Less than 20% of tweets are posted on the twitter web interface. The majority of remaining traffic is driven by twitter clients like TweetDeck, Tweetie, Twhirl, et.al. Because these twitter clients aren’t browsers they don’t pass along referrer data so they register as “direct traffic” in google analytics.
@yoast posted The analytics issue with Twitter way back in Jan 2009 (doh!) that explains the issue further.
This is obviously important if your one of those smart marketers who is tracking your campaign performance but it’s also important because the folks linking from a tweet will behave very differently from genuine direct traffic and could screw up your site usage analysis.
@kortina from bit.ly shows you how to differentiate the google analytics “direct traffic” that came from typing in an url from the other “direct traffic” within the existing google reporting segments.
One pre-campaign solution that was proposed by many (including @acroll and @seanpower at the web 2.0 intensive) was to use utm source tags in your twitter campaign links so google analytics can properly identify the referrer traffic. Of course most of the short url options offer analytics if your willing to do some aggregating for your campaign report.
