My daily fix of inbound marketing and social media usually starts with the Hubspot blog. Hubspot's latest blogpost about LinkedIn explains how they have a new Twitter app that you can add to your profile which gives a lot more integration with Twitter allowing you to respond to tweets as well as follow people within LinkedIn. The nice thing about this app is that you can now easily see which of your LinkedIn connections also have Twitter accounts. The new app also provides a link to create a complete private Twitter list of these connections. 

For those LOST fans out there, you probably noticed the amount of TV ads that ran during the Season Finale. Admittedly, I was getting frustrated with the constant interruptions but I really enjoyed the ads that Target ran. (You can preview the TV Spots below.)

As we've been using Twitter more and more to communicate with clients and friends, most of the time I find myself doing this on my iPhone. The problem I've been running into is that the twitter apps like hootsuite and tweetdeck don't alert me if I'm not using my phone when someone has replied to my latest tweet like a traditional SMS text message would. This can be difficult to try and carry on a quick conversation when my iphone goes to sleep and then I need to turn it back on to see if someone has responded.

Today in Milwaukee AirTran Airways celebrated the debut of 'Brewers One', a new  Boeing 717 painted with the throwback Milwaukee Brewers logo and colors. The event debuted the new plane, celebrated the team's 40th anniversary in Milwaukee as well as presented a $50,000 check to the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee for their summer camp program.  Twenty kids from the YMCA were in attendance and had to pull the plane twenty feet (along with some Brewer assistance) to receive the check. Rollie Fingers and Brewers executives discussed the team's importance in Milwaukee the past 40 years along with appearances from the Racing Sausages and Bernie Brewer.

I'm with Coco. I'm sure you've heard it or have seen it somewhere in the past few months. In case you haven't, it is the icon/logo/driving force of the Conan O'Brien support movement (http://www.facebook.com/imwithcoco).

This past weekend Milwaukee hosted the quarterly event Gallery Night and Day which featured 66 venues throughout the downtown Milwaukee area. It always draws a great crowd and this year Journal Sentinel asked people to help "check in" to art galleries on Foursquare to help draw attention to the local art scene in Milwaukee. What a great way to promote the event, galleries and artists as well as celebrate the first Foursquare Day. By checking in to 10 different galleries a person could also unlock the Warhol badge. People also used the hashtag #galnite on twitter to promote the event in the days before the weekend as well as for touching base with other people during the event. For more information on what you missed this past weekend check out the Art City blog.
