Motorola Gets Into Facebook's Stream

Don't know exactly how it works, perhaps you mention the brand and it recognizes the text, displaying the logo. It worked. I noticed it.

Ah, it's an app. Motoblur. Would be better if it were something FB offered all brands (per mention)

Now that's stepping outside the "early adopter shoes!"

If I'm reading that correctly, I think FB has made that possible. When they started to allow 'mentions' for brands and people [e.g., @Coca-Cola & @amberportercox] links within our status, I think the ability to truly measure impact within the platform began. [API's/page stats allow us to see all sorts of good nuggets the average user isn't aware.]

I think your idea might be great for a mobile application that aggregates brands. With the increase of geo-targeting in mobile apps, I think we'll see that - and then the tracking gets another layer of crazy - with brand mentions becoming even more specific and quality.

So...how it might work "I mention I'm at Starbucks in a photo posted to FB, it posts my actual store location and Starbucks logo WITH the photo I took of my Mocha!"

My last thought: 'very cool, I may turn those settings off - but good stats for brand loyalty.'
