Well it’s getting towards the end of the year, so I thought I’d take a look to see what we’ve covered here at Shiny Red in 2008. It’s been a big year for global politics, economy and culture, and we were there for the elections (and these), the Olympics as well as the less serious end of social media.
The work we’ve been doing has been varied as well – from education and finance, to FMCG, travel, consumer technology, and healthcare – so many industries are now taking a much more positive and in depth look at how they interact with their audiences online.
So it’s no surprise that our top ten most read stories this year is as varied as our team and work is here. Spanning FDA reports, Guardian gap year bloggers, Burlesque meetups, and - of course – social media’s success story of 2008: Twitter. So here it is, we’ve had a great year and will be posting more wrap-up stories all this week.
