This has been an exciting week in terms of big news. The DC earthquake managed to shake things up on the East Coast as well as on the Twittersphere; Steve Jobs decided to step down as CEO of Apple; The Yankees rocked three grand slams in one game and now we are all preparing for Hurricane Irene.

Nowadays when natural disasters strike, people tend to turn to social media to find and share information. So the team at Squeaky has created a free tool to help you track what the Twitter community is saying about Irene.

Utilizing the power of hashtags and the Twitter API we’ve created portal to provide people with real-time updates on the storm. So stock up on water, food, other essential supplies and head to irene.squeaky.com for up to the minute information and don’t forget to contribute to the conversation by sharing your photos, links and stories with any of the following hashtags and keywords: #irene warning, #irene help, #irene evacuation, #irene, #hurricane, #hurricaneirene.

From all of us at Squeaky,

Have a happy and safe weekend!

Websdays: A Monthly Meetup for the Internet Community

As a diverse small-business, Squeaky understands the benefits of networking with others in the web/tech community and we are constantly on the look out for new events and meet ups around the city. Passionate internet enthusiasts typically frequent these events and can provide valuable insight into the industry. That’s why we were excited when we learned about ‘Websdays’, a monthly meet up for the NYC internet community.

Internet Week New York has partnered with the creator of the Webutante Ball (Richard Blakely) to create this awesome networking event. There is a limit to number of guests however but, tickets are also ridiculously inexpensive.

After the most successful Internet Week New York to date, we expect these monthly gatherings to be equally notable. So head over the Websdays.com for details and to get your ticket quick before they’re sold out (as of this posting you have a little less than 5 hours) and be sure to follow us on Twitter (@SqueakyNYC) for real time updates from the event.

A Little Retraction for a Big Talent

by admin on 1 Aug ’11 in Digital, Mobile, Squeaky, Technology, company culture, iPhone, social media, web development with No comments

With so much information available on the web, it’s hard to distinguish between fact and fiction. And as avid internet users, we’re typically weary of blogs and individual sites as valid sources of information but when it comes to major publications we—for the most part—tend to believe what we read. The following is our own retraction/correction and an example of why we should not always believe everything we read.

Recently our in-house start up, Crowdbeacon was written about in Entrepreneur Magazine.

Even though it is an honor for our agency and the product, it was unfortunately inaccurate in naming the mobile application’s creators. Crowdbeacon was actually the brainchild of start-up expert, Robert Boyle, Anthony Del Monte and a skilled Sardinian developer named, Luca Columbu. Scott Wells was misquoted as the co-creator because he was the one who conducted the phone interview. Scott is one of our lead strategists and was important in launching Crowdbeacon’s social media and marketing efforts.

For the most part, the other details of the article are true but in publishing this correction, we wanted to highlight Luca for all his hard work and dedication in developing Crowdbeacon. They may have neglected to mention you Luca, but we know how hard you worked; all the hours you put in and we are glad to have an intelligent developer such as yourself on the Squeaky team.

Grande Opera!

Squeaky Gives Google+ a Go

By now we’ve all heard about Google entering the social media battlefield with their eyes set on competing with the network giant, Facebook. Can they do it? We’ve seen Buzzworthy attempts before, but could this be the Facebook killer? A few of us here at Squeaky were lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try it out and had some opinions about the different features of the site.

United Insight hosted a great half-day conference last Wednesday in New York called “The Science of Word-of-Mouth in the Age of Social Media.” Like all conferences, this one was successful because of the quality of its speakers who provided valuable and actionable insights for attendees. Squeaky was fortunate to be in attendance and picked up a few gems about marketing and social media in particular that hit home for us. These are things that are standard practice for our own social media service offerings and what we teach our clients, but are key nonetheless.
