Ryan B, Blogger at CheshireGreat research here for this presentation. Of course you expect the giants such as Google and Microsoft, but was unaware of Target here in the UK! It is interesting that Nike is on there, but no Adidas!:D http://www.80s-fancy-dress.com http://www.guarantorloansuk.com3 years ago

#10 walmart.
Despite being last on the list, consumers are probably more satisfied with Walmart than with Target or Amazon.

#9 nike.
Nike’s Facebook page might be less successful than Adidas’ but overall, it still emerges as the winner in terms of
online popularity. The sport apparel brand uses blogs, Facebook and Twitter intensively; showing other brands what
thought leadership and solid content can do in today’s online age.

#8 blackberry.
BlackBerry has the highest positive tone rating. Despite facing intense pressure from Apple’s iPhone, it is still
considered the best business phone (at least in my opinion).

#7 sony.
Sony has the lowest positive tone rating amongst the top 10 brands listed. Even if its intensive marketing campaign
managed to push it rather high up on the list, it should certainly start taking note of what people are saying about it.

#6 honda.
Being the only automobile company on the list tells us something about Honda – it has used the web pretty well to get
consumers’ attention, especially in times of recession. The commercial that cost them $6.2 million 2 years back
rocked the world. I wouldn’t say the same for its product manager, who was caught astroturfing.
By Willis Wee • Penn Olson
#5 target.
Its numerous Twitter pages are all about discounts and new offers. That could explain how it attracted over 650,000
fans on Facebook as well. But it seems like its holiday commercials aren’t that well-liked this season.
By Willis Wee • Penn Olson
#4 apple.
Apple is undoubtedly tweeps’ favorite. It has become a routine for ‘iPhone’ and ‘Apple’ to make it on Twitter’s
trending topics. New product launches, speculations, holiday discounts, lawsuits and Steve Jobs keep the buzz alive.
iTunes has also been featured as one of the top 25 Facebook pages, with more than a million fans.
By Willis Wee • Penn Olson
#3 amazon.
Amazon’s $850 million acquisition of Zappos was big news in the online world this year. Besides that, the online
retail giant has also created multiple Twitter accounts for different deals and services. Another most talked about topic
revolving Amazon would be its e-book reader, Kindle.
By Willis Wee • Penn Olson
#2 google.
Google’s ever changing logo is bloggers’ favorite topic. Its UFO doodle, for example, has caused a stir as all that was
given were hints to why there was a logo redesign. Google has also created great presence on Twitter, with multiple
Twitter pages that cater to different consumer needs.
By Willis Wee • Penn Olson
#1. Microsoft
Aggressive online and offline marketing is the core reason why Microsoft is on the number 1 spot this year. Its
Windows 7’s launch was huge business despite Apple’s mockery. It has a Twitter page of over 35,000 followers and a
Facebook page of over 70,000 fans. Not very impressive numbers for a big brand like Microsoft, but I guess its the
buzz that matters. Congrats!
