KLM will let passengers select who to sit next to on flights using social media such as Facebook. The Dutch airline, part of Star Alliance, will introduce the app next month. KLM says “meet and seat” is aimed at networking, but will some abuse it to join the Mile High Club?
Who you are seated next to on a plane can definitely affect your air travel experience. This is why KLM wants to give passengers the option of selecting who to sit next to using social media tools like Facebook. KLM says the “meet and seat” program can be used for networking or to find passengers who share similar interests.

With social media already being an integral part of both personal and professional ways of life, it is not surprising to know that it is also playing a role in the armed forces. Last year at the BlogWorld Expo, WebProNews spoke with Lt. Col. Andrè Dean about how the U.S. Army was using social media to tell true army stories. This year at the show, we had the privilege of talking with Lt. Ana Thorsson about how the U.S. Coast Guard utilizes social media.
She told us that the U.S. Coast Guard encourages its personnel to be involved in social media in order to show that there really are people behind the uniform. Lt. Thorsson explained that the Coast Guard has particularly used social media outlets during moments of crisis such as with Hurricane Gustav and the Gulf Oil Spill. This action not only helps keep citizens informed, but it also gives the government the opportunity to protect them.
“We’re working very hard to actively engage on all platforms of social media to make sure that the public is getting the information as fast as we can get it to them,” said Lt. Thorsson.
Lt. Thorsson went on to say that Coast Guard is committed to further utilization of social channels in order to promote public safety and build more trust in the government.

Byron Gordon, SEO-PR, interviews Peter Stringer, Director of Interactive Media, NBA Boston Celtics basketball organization on the subject of sports social media marketing at SES Chicago 2011.
Peter says that sports and social media dovetail well together. It’s natural for a Celtics fan to like the Celtics Facebook page, follow a twitter handle, click on a tweet, watch a YouTube video, or respond to a Google Plus post. It’s easy, says Peter, because these are actions that sports fans already want to do because they are passionate fans of the sport and of their home team.
01:30 Scott then discusses the team’s use of Instagram (a photo sharing application for your iPhone). The Boston Celtics organization is now one of the biggest users of Instagram with more than 40,000 fans following the Celtics through Instagram. Scott says its use of Instagram is one of the newer ways the Celtics are connecting with their fans and spreading their brand.
Scott then goes on to elaborate about the challenges that any lesser known brand faces when using social media tools as part of its marketing efforts. Scott says brands must find out what their customers are most passionate about and focus their social media marketing to that end.

Byron Gordon, SEO-PR, interviews Bryan Srabian, Director of Social Media, San Francisco Giants, on the subject of social media marketing for a major professional sports organization at SES Chicago, 2011.
Bryan begins by answering how he became director of social media for the San Francisco Giants. Bryan had worked for the Giants for 14 seasons, working a variety of positions. He later left the organization but was later called back to head newly created position of social media director back in January of 2010. Bryan says major sports organizations are actively exploring how to effectively use social media marketing and some have devoted greater budgets for the department than others. Bryan is solely responsible for the Giants social media outreach. Brian stresses the importance of learning how to use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Plus, in addition to understanding the brand in order to respond and connect with your fans.
Next, Brian discusses the differences between Facebook and Twitter and what is more appropriate for the type of post you wish to make when connecting with your fans. The Giants have some 1.2 million fans on their Facebook page (more than half of those are from Bay Area fans) and more than two hundred thousand Twitter followers. Twitter is about real-time communication, according to Bryan, and Tweets have a short shelf-life which makes it easy to move offers fairly quickly while Facebook is better at promoting events and getting feedback from fans.
Bryan also elaborates on the importance of conducting reputation management for the SF Giants using social media and listening to what the fans have to say and share. Social media has given us the ability to react and learn from our fans. The key takeaway for Bryan is listening first and then engaging your fans. There is not one owner of the San Francisco Giants. It is the community of fans who “own” the SF Giants, according to Bryan.

As the BlogWorld Expo came to a close in Los Angeles, Rick Calvert, the show’s CEO and Co-founder, sat down with WebProNews to talk about the event. According to Calvert, it was the biggest show ever for BWE. He believes that the growth of the show indicates that the industry is growing as well.
At the very first BlogWorld, back in 2007, the audience consisted primarily of bloggers. There were only a few podcasters and only 1 or 2 video news outlets present, (WPN was there!) and Twitter was in its very early days. Today, the show has evolved to include WordPress, Blogger, and Posterous, and has sponsors such as Ford, Southwest Airlines, and Century 21.
Calvert told us that the show would continue to evolve as the industry does.
The next BlogWorld Expo will take place in New York June 5-7.
