Most Interesting. There is no reason why an individual/biz/ministry should not be using social media. At the present time it is free & valuable too.

We are living in a world where influence is migrating from offline to online.
The ability to influence is also moving from local to global. Its reach is also transitioning to mobile devices.

One definition of Influence is “the capacity to have an effect on the character, development or behavior of someone or something”
To be truly successful you must have the ability and power to influence.

If you want to know more about what is the ROI in social media, you should read this blog post and perhaps also the related book. [note mg]
Vincenzo Cosenza is a new media strategist living in Italy who has over the years, designed some of the industry’s most comprehensive infographics on social media’s global footprint. Recently, he asked if I would write the foreword for his new book, Social Media ROI. And, as I’m a fan of his work, it was an easy decision. As usual however, I asked for permission to share it with you here and his publisher agreed. This is the only place where you can read this in English…
For the record, I also wrote the foreword for Olivier Blanchard’s book, Social Media ROI in early 2011. Yes…same name. I’m not a supporter of the fact that the publisher of this latest book did not take Olivier’s title into account.

Whether we like it or not, Klout is here to stay, brands use it to find influencers who will in turn become advocates, companies use it when they're interviewing perspective employees and many of our peers pay attention to it too.
Once scrutinized for its methods and criticized as being nothing more than an online zodiac, Klout has nevertheless secured its place in the social media...
Included in this piece is a tip sheet to help you raise your score.
How does Klout measure your score?
**The number of people you influence + how much you influence them + how influential they are = your Klout Score

On the whole, UK councils are doing a nice job of using social media - possibly we caught on early because we're used to making the most of tools that don't cost much. 'Fair play ' as we say here in Wales, we're doing getting better at engaging. Via AnnaGenis Delete the scoop?
