Triad Tuesdays for 4/27

Being a new resident of the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina, one of the first things I did as a confirmed social media obsessive is start to compile a list of marketing, PR, social media, and just all-around interesting bloggers from the area to follow.

Given I’ve got a small but growing list, I thought I’d shared some of my favorite posts each week. This list is by no means comprehensive, just my own curation of posts I liked.

Know of any other great posts or bloggers from the Triad that are must reads? Please leave a note in the comment section below as I’d love to learn about (and meet!) more.

The list for this week:

Ryan Shell launches CUonTwitter.com a “tool that highlights credit unions that are using Twitter well.” Looks like six credit unions are up now, a nice concept overall.

Bob Knorpp posted yet another fine episode of The Beancast, this one focused on how Facebook rocked the Internet last week.

The team at Burris flagged an AdAge review of the iPad as a retail tool.

John Cass of Pace Communications noted an interesting finding from the “24 Hours: Unplugged” research report, that should resonate with anyone who makes heavy use of IM, texting, and social networking – when cutoff, the sense of loss isn’t so much about lack of access to news or information, but about loneliness.

Iconfactory, makers of the awesome Twitteriffic iPhone app, released a set of icons based on the original Clash of the Titans film. (not strictly a blog post, but cool in any case)

Danielle Hatfield posts over at Mobile Local Social about the new Facebook “Like” button.

    Thanks for the comment David, and I just realized I had left your blog out of the “Triad” group in my Google Reader, and missed your recent posts. Sorry about that, I'll definitely correct it on the next one.
