Seven dollars (USD $7) is the price you need to pay to free your iPhone without apparently “jailbreaking” it. This is the price of software that will allow you to download iPhone apps on your computer, and transfer them to your device with an iTunes-like interface, without pushing you into deep geek territory.
This is the exciting claim that comes with Swiss developer Ripdev’s release of InstallerApp and it seems likely to be a huge hit. It’s a Mac app (but coming soon for Windows) with “Pusher” software, that RipDev says can install Installer.app on your iPhone without “jailbreaking” it, so you can use Apple’s approved AppStore, alongside InstallerApp simultaneously.
The app supports Cydia, a popular installer for jailbroken iPhones, but does so, according to Ripdev, without making a mess of your iPhone’s file system or replacing any system libraries, as Cydia does, and you need Intel processor and OS X 10.5 Leopard or above. InstallerApp supports first generation iPhone and iPhone 3G, but not iPod touch as yet.
One $7 license lets you sync up to three iPhones and gives you access to free updates and email tech support for one year, and Ripdev even promises to support iPhone 3.0 shortly after the new software is released and jailbroken.
>> Check out InstallerApp now.

Digital Biographer Digital Red Nose
I had the idea to create Digital Nose Jobs for Red Nose Day (13th March), inspired by @jamie_oliver on Twitter.
I’ve done a few Nose Jobs this week to raise money for the UK & African projects that Red Nose Day supports. You can still order a red nose if you’d like (I have time for about another 15 4 nose jobs today!
Great minds obviously thinking alike, I’ve since discovered you can also have an official Red Nose Day Digital Nose Job - for just £1 (again, all money goes to Red Nose Day). Not as exclusive, but just as much fun - my one’s below.
Official Red Nose Day Images £1 from http://digitalrednose.com
UPDATE 16-Mar: I raised $220 for Red Nose Day - which itself raised over £59m ($74m). Thanks to all who helped to promote and especially to those who bought a ‘nose job’.

No, this is not scientific - it’s just my opinion. Following on from my popular Top Tweets of 2008 blog, and 50 Top Tweets of January 2009, these are the best Tweets from Twitter that I saw in February 2009. If you think you said something funnier last month, then follow @clarocada, or add the tag #ttom to your best tweets in February.
February was another month of growth in Twitter usage and mainstream reporting - Twitter hit the headlines again with yet another aircraft down - this time at Schiphol airport, near Amsterdam, and Stephen Fry got stuck in a lift and tweeted his way out.
Here are the best Tweets that I found in February. Choosing 50 wasn’t enough to do justice to this month. Enjoy!

“The Internet has its victims and its heroes. Social media has been the driving force in revealing and exposing good versus evil, by the participation and commentary of its inhabitants. Those who have clean hearts will gain positive publicity around their personal brands because people will only have good things to say about them.”
In a chapter entitled ‘eBranding for the Masses‘ Dan outlines the facts that tell us we can no longer choose whether to be connected, visible, and engaged — unless we choose to be invisible.

You Are Not Your Audience by Douglas Karr - marketingtechblog.com
“As a result, many businesses are classified this way but operate quite the opposite… the data lied, and I did not do my due diligence to learn about my audience. The target we used focused on women-owned businesses … with women no where to be found. We (a team of men) sent our direct mail piece to men.”
In a chapter entitled ‘You Are Not Your Audience‘ Douglas reminds us that you need to talk to your audience directly to avoid marketing tragedies.

World Wide Rave! vs Unscrupulous and Sleazy Viral Marketing by David Meerman Scott - www.webinknow.com
“Unfortunately, I’ve come to realize that viral marketing has a significant dark side — quite a bit more extensive than I had been aware of. Much of what people call viral marketing is nothing more than traditional advertising techniques that rely on interruption, bait-and-switch gimmicks, inane games, and frivolous contests. It’s the old rules of marketing transferred to the Web.”
In a chapter entitled ‘World Wide Rave! vs Unscrupulous and Sleazy Viral Marketing‘ David reminds us that one must draw a clear distinction between the amazing ways people spread ideas and share stories online and the bogus crap that misled agencies and corporations resort to with their ,viral. campaigns.

Why Listening is Priority #1 by Simon Payn - simonpayn.typepad.com
“After all, we’ve been taught that the most important skill of a great conversationalist is shutting up and listening to what the other person has to say. And any business that truly listens to the conversation that is going on around its products will show it has mastered marketing in the Age of Conversation.”
In a chapter entitled ‘Why Listening is Priority #1‘ Simon outlines a six-point plan for successful listening.
- Grow big ears.
- Show that you are listening.
- Ask for feedback.
- # Four
- # Five
- # Six

The Marketing Matrix: Ignore or Explore? by John Moore - www.brandautopsy.com
“In your left hand, I’m placing a blue pill and in your right hand, a red pill. Choose the blue pill and nothing changes, you’ll ignore everything I have shared and continue to believe in the inertia that binds you to the past. Choose the red pill and your journey begins… you’ll explore deeper and truer connections with your customers participating in the online groundswell.”
In a chapter entitled ‘The Marketing Matrix: Ignore or Explore?‘ John asks us to wake up to reality - those who trust the opinions shared by others in the online groundswell must use those methods to create a new type of effective marketing - a social kind.

Marketing is in the Eye of the Beholder by Corentin Monot - organic-frog.com
“Another reason why people are skeptical and even reluctant about conversational marketing is the fear of the new. Few people actually possess a genuine entrepreneurial mind, (and) we all know that the successful brands and businesses are those that have a point of view and are ready to defend it. The rest, which is the vast majority, are copying and pasting empty words for their vision values and purpose documents.”
In a chapter entitled ‘Marketing is in the Eye of the Beholder‘ Corentin reminds those who understand conversational marketing have a role to educate beyond a group of like-minded peers. We need to include the C-level, the boardroom and the mail clerks in our conversations.

Rise of the Global Agency by G. Kofi Annan - www.annansi.com/blog
“As the global centers of influence change marketing and advertising will need to ramp up their collaboration with and training of international agencies and employees. The question at this point is not when to divert resources internationally, but how fast to do so.”
In a chapter entitled ‘Rise of the Global Agency‘ Kofi Alaz suggests that there is a new breed of ‘Agency 2.0′ in the Age of Conversation - an international and independent type of body that works - guess what - in a different way.

Pricing in the Age of Conversation by Ozgur Alaz - www.marketallica.com
“Although influentials constitute a very small portion of Internet users, their effects are great. They have the power to influence thousands of people with the content they produce; they influence purchase decisions in many cases. I will discuss how the Age of Conversation may change our pricing practices by bringing forward a new provocative proposition.”
In a chapter entitled ‘Pricing in the Age of Conversation‘ Ozgur suggests a radically new pricing mechanism for online content. Radically new. But the price of this knowledge is of course, as ever in this series, the price of holding the hardback, softback or ebook version of AOC2!

How Do I Know Thee? Three Social Media Vignettes by Kate Trgovac - www.mynameiskate.ca
“I’ve never looked into your eyes, but I know you through your tweets. Each 140 character set touches my soul and each pixel of your 48 x 48 icon sets my heart aflutter. You are smart and funny and witty and charming and… dreamy. But apparently a lot of other people think so too.”
In a chapter entitled ‘How Do I Know Thee? Three Social Media Vignettes‘ Kate paints three different pictures with words. Dear reader, you’d have to read it in full - I can’t summarise this chapter. It’s like poetry.
