Happy Thanksgiving!

FeedMagnet would like to wish you and your loved ones a safe and grateful Thanksgiving holiday.

We created a live feed (no longer active) for the holidays, plotting Thanksgiving geo-tweets on a Google Map, displaying all mentions of the phrase "Happy Thanksgiving" on the right, and searching for food and holiday related photos at the bottom! Please post your photos and well wishes to see if they appear...

Happy Eating!

FeedMagnet, agencies, and a walrus.

We came out of the agency world. Prior to starting FeedMagnet, each of us spent most of our careers doing marketing and web work for clients at various agencies. Much of the inspiration to build FeedMagnet came from the frustration of not having the right tools available to implement our ideas from within agencies. We have a special place in our hearts for agencies and love partnering with them.

One of our first agency partnerships has been with Attention!, based in Manhattan. Attention is a social media marketing and communications agency, and their strategic approach to word-of-mouth marketing is a perfect fit for FeedMagnet. In addition to working on several client projects with Attention, we recently launched an experimental site together that aggregates brand content from Facebook. As a bonus, there's a walrus involved.
