Klout score – Can it really measure influence and...
Klout believes that influence is the ability to drive action! I really like that statement. In many ways the Klout score is maybe the best that we currently have as one metric to measure social media influence.
The Klout score looks at how many people you influence, and by how much, and how influential they are, and it now does that in 12 social networks, and the list is growing. Klout measures...

Welcome to Zuckerberg's Law
bitshare:
One might think with all the changes Facebook made this past week that we are and will be over-sharing to the point of ad nauseam. With the new Facebook Timeline profile, literally your life is out there for the world to see. If you don’t have the new Timeline profile yet, you can get it here. My philosophy is though, you can only see what I let you see; meaning if you don’t want...

Social Analytics - don’t always grab for low...
“What gets measured gets managed”.

Patrick Ward (an Athletic Development, Sports Preparation & Performance Coach) used it in a recent blog post about sports performance. I often use this term when it concerns interactive marketing. If you want to see me with an uneasy look on my face is when I am trying to convince...

Which Social Media sites do you visit daily?
This is a picture of some of the social media sites that I am a member of. I have joined many of these as a part of my own curiosity about how social media communities work, and how the tools facilitate community growth, and others just because I want to. Some I visit on a daily basis because of my job as a community manager/strategist or as a subject matter expert (Lighting design).
So I guess...

Social networks can definitely be useful tools for businesses and brands, when it makes sense. For my startup, it does not by the nature of what my company does though 9 has a…

Can location based services be used by Business to...
I am a Foursquare user. I also looked at Gowalla and also Facebook places. Strange enough, last month Facebook announced that they were killing off Facebook places, but will continue to use the concept of location based services, specifically to;
share where you’ve been
share where you are now
share where you’re going
It is clear that the consumer oriented company can find a...

Social Media is not killing TV, it's helping it
bitshare:
Leave it up to Gary V. to squash the “tv is dead” statement and reinforce that television is not going anywhere but up. Social Media and TV are not against each other. Social Media only assists TV shows in getting more viewers and advertisers with even more incentive. Watch the video to see how he explains how Social Media is actually driving people to watch more TV. I love this...
