Top 10 Most Read Blogs Of 2012 - Image
The Pen Is Mightier than the Sword it was once said… that’s why we blog so much… the power of instant communication to those that are truly interested in what you say rather than those with a passing interest ala the newspaper is what makes blogging so great
In contrast to our Top 10 Most Searched Local Businesses At Altrincham HQ we’re actually going to start our Top 10 Countdown with Number 1 first
Tesco Christmas
1. The Worst Customer Service Experience I Had Ever Had In 34 Years… at Tesco’s Altrincham
I’m not sure if this had the drama of Shakespeare’s best work or was as ranty as a Channel 5 Drama, but it obviously struck a chord with people
Customer Service in Altrincham is one of the most talked about subjects of the year and our most read blog of the year
In fairness Tesco’s did manage to turn up around as the follow up blog we’ve included here testifies to
Asda Supermarket - Broadheath, Altrincham
2, Asda Plan A 40,000 Sq ft Supermarket in Broadheath
When this blog went viral we did considered setting up an Altrincham Supermarkets HQ website
Is the supermarket good or bad for the area and Altrincham Town Centre
It certainly was a talking point in the last month of the year

5. #Followladder #FollowBus or just #HollowFollow
Every single Sunday night we used to avoid twitter as pointless spammy followback sessions started where random tweeters followed random tweeter and everybody patted themselves on the back
Actually we lied about the avoiding twitter bit – we got in people’s faces and directed them to this blog to show them the error of the ways
Luckily Sunday nights are now free of this rubbish now

Prestige Floor Studio - Nick Gilbert on the Right, James Hancock on the left
6. How to Win £7000 worth of Business On Twitter?
Twitters just for small purchases like restaurants and nightclubs isn’t it?
How we loved it when we could show this blog to the world about how twitter is about BIG BIG ORDERS as well

7. Don’t Ever Be The Emma Bunton Of Social Media
The blog where I got to be the Jack Dee or Morrissey of Social Media and wipe a few smiles off a few cheesy faces
But seriously – unless you’re on a Prozac and have a split personality you really don’t mean or believe everything you tweet
A ranty blog over the Americanisation and Daz White Smile of some Social Media folk

10. Tweeter Of The Day Altrincham
We haven’t ran the #tweeteroftheday #altrincham idea for a long while
But at the time our town needed talking about, promoting heavily and people tweeting on a daily basis
