Rebranding Shibz.com

If you have noticed recently, Shibz.com has been going through some upgrades. I have updated the wordpress engine to the latest one, and tested some themes. The upgrade went very well. But I am not very happy with the themes available. Well, I am only talking about the free themes here. Now I think it will be better for me to design one.

As a first step, I designed a new logo. And I am going to show you that now…..

Here is it. What do you guys think? Let me know…

Should corporates control social networking?

It’s quite obvious that most of the companies would like to reap rewards from the social media revolution. But at the same time, they are quite skeptical about the social media conversations going out of their control.
The latest news is ESPN Digital Media publishing their guidelines on social networking. It has already became a hot discussion topic in twitter. You can follow the news on Mashable.
My take on this subject is this: I don’t think corporate should control social media. But they can take part on these conversations and positively influence them. But that can’t happen overnight. You need to make your company  web 2.0 ready first.
I feel that ESPN is quite sincere about engaging social media. But they should have found another way to communicate their social media plans to the staff.
