Ever wonder what it would look like to plot every single geotagged tweet since 2009 on a map? Twitter has done just that.
Twitter posted these maps of Europe, New York City, Tokyo and Istanbul on its blog Friday. They use billions of geotagged tweets: Every dot represents a tweet, with the brighter colors showing a higher concentration of tweets. It's pretty amazing how the mapped-out tweets clearly match with population centers, highways and the like — though perhaps that's obvious. Via Lauren Moss

A massive survey of internet users reveals trends in social media usage across numerous platforms, ages, races, genders, population density and which social media sites do they frequently visit.
The Pew Research Center has released the results of a comprehensive social media survey, conducted over several years to evaluate which demographics were using social media, and on which platforms. Which social networking sites emerged on top?
Of the online adults surveyed at the end of 2012:
67% use Facebook
20% use LinkedIn
16% use Twitter
15% use Pinterest
13% use Instagram
6% use Tumblr
A decent amount of Americans appear to be using social media, but which demographics use social media in greater numbers?
It appears that women use social media 9% more than men do, at a whopping rate of 71%. Other frontrunners with the highest social network activity in their demographic include city dwellers(70%), Hispanics (72%) and adults with a household income below $30,000 annually (72%).
The most pervasive and consistent divider amongst social media users remains, unsurprisingly, their age. 83% of the young adult demographic (18-29 year olds) use social media, which is well over double the activity of online adults over 65 years old (32%).

Building brands is a lot like leaving legacies. What does it mean? Do we have the luxury of thinking we have that much control or will there be features that allow us to be dishonest with brand building?

Boy are these kids going to be mad at their parents by the time they're 20-somethings... "Why didn't you protect us?" they will ask. "Because we didn't know better," their parents will say.
Putting a kid on the internet without knowing anything about how cookies and cache and logins and TOSs work is like handing them a handgun or putting them behind the wheel of a running car and then leaving.

Written in response to Is SEO Dying? Yes It Is http://www.digitalgossips.com/2013/05/is-seo-dying-yes-it-is.html by Munaz Anjum (@munazanjum) this post is an answer to a friend's question.
J. Nolfo (@JNolfo) asked if I thought SEO was dead or dying. The short answer is YES, but I did add a sixth force to the five SEO Killers Anjum noted:
* Mobile.
* Tech.
* Google.
* Social.
* Us.
The Master Blaster controlling force, I argue in the linked post on @NewMediaLeaderz is E N T R O P Y.

Therese is right. Until we plug in directly math will need to understand marketing and that means some level of technical SEO remains IMPORTANT.

I think the real data will show up when we explore linked open data of social networks, rendering this with social footprints, blogs and other contributions people who influence because they share their unique parts of the knowledge taxonomy with one another and like this comment, usually in a meta or keywording format/s.

Social media strategies devoid of risk management can lead to long days in the court room. Most businesses are not aware of the legal and reputational risks surrounding social media done poorly. Comments are welcome.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight,
May 21, 6:28 PM
"It’s been said that 85% of the people who work in social media have been in the industry for less than two years. I think it was LinkedIn who first suggested this, but it often explains why there is so much bad advice floating around, so many poorly devised strategic plans and so much money wasted on failed campaigns." We have serious problems because many are self-appointed leaders.

As usual, another great scoop by Robin Martin. This one is VERY helpful to me right now. Thanks Robin.
From the article:
3. Use Google Alerts To Identify Clips, Comment Opportunities and Fresh News
This last tool is something more people know about: Google Alerts. It’s typically used so that you get an email every time news about your client hits the Internet.
Most set up alerts for the company name, stock symbol, executive names, brand or product names, etc. It allows them to capture a copy of the clip and monitor mentions. (Learn to set up Google Alerts here – it is also under the “More> Specialized Search” area.)
However, most PR pros don’t think to use alerts in another way: to identify news articles where they can post a client comment. When a news article hits that is relevant to your client and you aren’t taking part in it, posting a comment is a great way to join the conversation.
