Hi %%First Name%%

How's 2010 been so far for you? One of my resolutions for 2010 is to do a better job of keeping in touch with my friends and associates. Because of that I've started a monthly mailing list that I hope will be useful and educational to you. This is the first email and it may be a little rough around the edges, so I'd love your feedback. Anyway, here are some things that I thought was worth sharing with you.

What's in store for 2010

The beginning of the year comes with lots of business predictions, but how many are relevant to Malaysian businesses? I took the time to speak to some local small businesses and startups to get their thoughts about social media in 2010, and I also offer some of my own observations.

- Social Media Predictions for Small Business and Startups: The Malaysian Perspective
- Online Trends For 2010 That Will Change Marketing In Malaysia

Social Media Club KL event on 21 January

I'm a member of the Social Media Club of Kuala Lumpur (SMCkl) and we're meeting again next Thursday. The theme of this meeting is engagement tools for social media and we're bringing together speakers from ComScore, Brandtology and Jamiq. It should be a very educational session. Tickets are going very fast, so check out the event page if you'd like to learn more or attend.

Buzzworthy News

Every month I'll highlight some online marketing campaigns that have done a good job or resources that you might find useful for your own business. Think of it as a 'best of' list that I've filtered for you.

Ten Commandments of Social Media - this is older than a month but I found it to be a very good article which provides good rules of thumb, especially for those who are new to social media.

Trident Integrates Social Media with Print Ads - in the US, Trident Gum did a great job of tying together traditional advertising with cutting edge social media.

Billshrink piggy-backs Nexus hype into consumer consciousness - how a startup took advantage of Google's announcement of their Nexus One mobile phone with a simple idea that led to great results.

What Buzzmedia is up to this month

I'm working on a guide to Facebook Pages. If you know someone who's promoting their business on Facebook, perhaps you could get them to sign up for the mailing list. I'll share the guide with you in my next email.

That's all for this email. I mentioned that I would love feedback on the email, so if you have any just reply to this email and tell me what you think. Thanks and have a great 2010!
