This INSANE Graphic Shows How Ludicrously Complicated Social Media Marketing Is Now

This INSANE Graphic Shows How Ludicrously Complicated Social Media Marketing Is Now | Cool webtools | Scoop.it

Maybe this is the reason General Motors went "mental" and pulled its Facebook ad budget.
Digital marketing is confusing—really confusing—as this insane graphic shows (below).
Trying to navigate through the various new social media categories, blogs, sharing sites, and social media firms is an absolute mess.
This depiction of the digital marketing landscape was shown at a Buddy Media event marking the launch of the social marketing software agency's new suite of measurement tools.
You can click to enlarge it, but that won't make it look any simpler.
Bonus points for reader Ryan, who realized Pinterest isn't on there.

Bitly Launches New Social Search Engine: Realtime

Bitly Launches New Social Search Engine: Realtime | Cool webtools | Scoop.it

Giuseppe Mauriello: Bitly announced new service called Realtime. It's a social search engine in private beta for finding the most clicked on Bitly links. It allows users to filter searches by keywords, topic, social network, country, target domain, language.

From review article on The Verge:
"Bitly's calling it an "attention ranking engine," and that seems apt in our testing so far. Unlike Twitter's trending topics or the competition, you're able to find out which webpages are most shared, rather than simply the most viral comments on those stories.

As reporters, we're definitely fans of the idea: we can see it being a very useful tool for people who want to know what's interesting right this moment.

Of course, the results are only really useful if Bit.ly gains popularity yet again: Most social networks have their own URL shortener these days..."


Request an invite now and try out it: http://rt.ly
