Search Engine Watch: Kinetic Results now DexterityMedia

Taken from Search Engine Watch:

Kinetic Results Now Dexterity Media

Dallas-based search and social media marketing firm Kinetic Results has rebranded itself as DexterityMedia, and founding partner Kevin Ryan has left the company.

"We've been working for the last year or so on ways to promote social media, and we think we've got the formula down now," Tony Wright, Dexterity's VP of client services, told SEW. "We've had tremendous demand for these services, and we wanted our name to more closely reflect what we do."

Kinetic, itself founded amidst an exodus from Zunch Communications in October 2005, has shuffled execs once more. Ryan's departure is not directly related to the name change, which was in the works prior to his decision to leave, Wright said. The team at Dexterity is now made up of Giovanni Gallucci, president & COO; Tony Wright, VP of client services; David J. Wilkie, VP of creative; and anthony Zapata, VP of client strategy.

Over the past year, Dexterity has built up a podcast network, Media Swamp, as well as a social media optimization planner, which helps clients create a framework for social media marketing. Those services will continue to grow under the new direction of the company, without giving up on its search marketing practice, Wright said. all contracts with existing clients will be maintained, he said.

"We'll definitely continue to offer search marketing services. We think social media dovetails nicely with search offerings," he said.

Social Media Dashboard

SMDDash

DexterityMedia launched the The Social Media Dashboard (socialtrackr.dexteritymedia.com) this past week. w00t!

a few weeks ago, we realized that there was no place on the web where all the social media websites were listed and rated by their users. You know, a one-stop-shop with info about say, several music sharing sites, or social networking sites. There are actually very few places to even find a listing and/or side-by-side comparison of similar social media sites out there, save a few sites which simply regurgitate Comscore rankings from 2006.

We tossed around the idea of designing and developing an application paying homage to the search engine relationship chart tool created by bruce Clay. but, we wanted to take this idea a bit farther.

We decided to design a tool that will give users an easy to use interface showing the top social media destinations tied to a back-end directory with more detail. So, after some time with designers and developers playing nice-nice together, we are proud to launch this nifty little tool. We call it the Social Media Dashboard. Have a look and tell us what you think. We will update the tool monthly to keep up with current trends in social media.

Our highly-scientific methods include a complex algorithm that takes into account may factors including traffic rankings, number or registered users, traffic patterns and volume trending analysis, logo color considerations, twitter buzz, and personal mood swings.

If you like it feel free to link back to the Social Media Dashboard at http://socialtrackr.dexteritymedia.com. You can go directly to the Social Media Directory by logging on to http://www.socialtrackr.com.

Lastly, if your favorite site is not listed in the Social Media Directory, then by all means click here and let's get it listed!
