One of the UK's top domain registrars launched a national search yesterday to find the worst company domain name.

Whilst we've been giggling at their hilarious examples below, there is a serious point behind the search - the Names.co.uk Worst Domain Name Award aims to raise awareness that your domain name is a key part of launching your own successful small business and recognise key mistakes businesses can make when registering their web address.

I’ve not been this excited in ages. After a while you see a lot of the same stuff getting repeated in social media. Rarely do you see a useful innovative product that people would actually use that benefits both brands and consumers.

Hashtag Pages does exactly what it says on the tin. They are a unique page designed to pull together all the media and interesting commentary around a certain hashtag. The first people to take advantage of this is #NASCAR.

L2 and Buddy Media recently revealed the results of their second annual Facebook IQ Index®, with Macy's, Sephora, Lancôme, and Michael Kors ranked as "Geniuses".

The Index measures digital aptitude of 100 iconic luxury and prestige brands across Beauty, Fashion, Specialty Retail, and Watches & Jewellery on Facebook, the world's largest social media platform.

Earlier this year in February, Social Media Week London saw 178 events take place, hosted by 97 wonderful event partners. 391 speakers shared their knowledge, thoughts, ideas and opinions with 15,000 attendees and 10,000 online viewers. 

Now it's your chance to get involved again! Social Media Week London is back for Round Two this September (24th - 28th) and it's finally time for you to start submitting your events...

Remember the Chinwag Insight: Facebook Marketing Conference that took place last October? Well, it's back and it's bigger and better than before. A day packed full of case studies, panels, advice sessions and insight into marketing on the 800m+ social behemoth that is Facebook with the new commercial realities post-IPO.

This time around we're reaching an even broader digital marketing and agency audience by partnering with Our Social Times, who run events covering social media measurement, marketing and analytics to bring you a day packed with strategy insight, analysis and practical examples of how to access, engage and build value from Facebook's massive data-rich audience.

The first event of the series is taking place in London on Wednesday 18th July with future events planned for New York and Singapore later in the year. Whilst we confirm the full programme details there's a chance to save 50% off the standard rate with a Trust Ticket.
