7 ways Kanye West uses his new social media power one year later after the MTV Video Music Awards infamous imma let you finish moment

Almost exactly one year ago today Kanye West went from one of the most admired hiphop artist and somewhat well liked to one of the most hated music artist of all time in one 15 second mistake. Mr. West drunk or not, caught up in the moment or not, influence by a Amber Rose or not, taking up for his little sister Beyonce or not will forever be linked to the MTV Awards and Taylor Swift. His “imma let you finish” became an instant internet meme and affected Kanye’s music sales, plans for a clothing line and future concert tours. Right after Kanye West made the mistake of interrupting Taylor Swift I wrote blog post titled MTV’s biggest dot: Could you fix Kanye West’s personal brand problem? were I list 7 suggestions.

Now we’re hours away from the one year anniversary of Kanye’s mistake at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 and Kanye is schedule to preform this year during the 2010 awards. Some have said they’re tired of Kanye West and just want to move on but with Kanye’s recent use of “social media” from Twitter, Ustream and even on website I believe we’re going to see a lot more of Kanye in the next few days. Let’s take a look at how Kanye West uses social media, along with other offline events to “almost” restore his brand.

1. Kanye West preforms at Facebook HQ

2. Kanye West joins Twitter and share his life after the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and apologize to Taylor Swift. See a more detailed blog about Kanye’s tweets here via Techcrunch.

3. Kanye gives away free music via his website but you must enter your email address to download. (email marketing). He tweets the new song every Friday.

4. Kanye launches Ustream.TV channel (http://www.ustream.tv/KanyeWest) and talks with fans about his upcoming album.

5. The Kanye West blog: http://kanyewest.com/blog/
A few weeks ago Kanye was using his blog to list free music and show fan made videos. Now it’s under construction. I’m thinking we’ll see a new Kanye West blog launched tonight or tomorrow after the MTV Video Music awards.

6. Kanye West Power song used for the theme music of the Facebook Movie trailer called the Social Network.

7. Kanye West releases still motion Power video on Youtube and now has over 9,901,604 views.

Questions:

Are you excited about the return of Kanye West to the MTV Video Music awards?

Do you think we’ll see Kanye and Taylor Swift preform a song tonight at the MTV Video Music Awards?

How would you like to see Kanye West and other music artist use social media?

11 must see QR Code Marketing and Implementation Campaign Videos

Update

Looking for a fast QR Code Reader / Scanner? Try my new iPhone app: CLICK HERE

---

Lately I’ve been focusing on two areas, location-based marketing and QR Code implementation with various clients. Both can work without the other but can have some awesome results when used together such as scavenger hunts, check-in at food trucks along with location verification and analytics. During my research I’ve been reading various blog post and looking at videos of pervious QR Code implementai across the globe. Notice I said across the globe being that while there are a few QR Code examples from brands in the USA, overseas they have been using QR Codes for years.

Being that QR Code use is still new in the USA, sometimes you may need additional marketing efforts to educate your audience on what a QR Code is, what app to use or download to scan a QR Code and/or a sneak peak of what they will receive if they scann a QR Code. With that being said here are 11 must see QR Code marketing and implementation campaign videos.

Video: The Twitter Movie? If Facebook can have a movie, why can’t Twitter have one too?

You know abou the Facebook movie called “The Social Network” set to be released October 2010. But what about Twitter and the other social networking sites? Will Hollywood leave Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Buzz off the big screen? I’m not sure but if there was a Twitter movie it may or may not look like the one below. Take a look at the Twitter Movie Trailer: Rated Awesome on youtube.

It’s not an official movie but it’s pretty funny. Hat Tip to @zenaweist for the video.

What social networking site you would like Hollywood to make a movie about outside of Twitter and Facebook?

5 How to use Google Wave YouTube videos to watch for better understanding of real-time collaboration

Google Wave has been out now for little over a year and depending on who you ask it’s a great tool or it’s a flop. Personally I’m a big fan of Google Wave and use it almost daily with my partners. Note I said with my partners because collaborating with others is the number one way to use Google Wave in it’s current state. Yes you can take notes, make a to-do-list, or write blog post in Google Wave but to really understand the power of Google Wave it’s best to use it working with a team on projections.

Often I’ll Tweet how much I like Google Wave and then I’ll get a response like the one above or that people are trying to compare Google Wave to another social network such as Facebook or Twitter. Google Wave does have friends list/contacts and you could look at the inbox as a wall but I don’t think that’s the correct approach. At one point I remember saying that Google Wave could even replace email. I still think it could but for right now Google Wave is all about collaboration.

To help users learn how to get more out of Google Wave, Google created a series of getting started YouTube videos. Here are 5 how to use Google Wave Youtube videos if you’re new to Google Wave.

1. Meet Google Wave

2. Managing your inbox

3. Google Wave: 15 features

4. Replying to waves

5. Editing waves

Do you use Google Wave if so how? If not why not?
