Between the endless Euro drama and the Bitcoin brouhaha, currency has been much in the news of late. Most people would probably name the US Dollar as the dominant currency in this day and age. Via janlgordon

Pinterest announced that it's now allowing users to set up business accounts (as opposed to personal accounts), along with releasing business-specific terms of service, separate from the TOS for regular folks. Pinterest cited the contribution of quality content from the business community as a reason for launching these business-specific accounts Great job HubSpot for sharing this useful piece, including converting personal accounts to business accounts (those that are already mostly business accounts anyway!)
Excerpts:
How to Convert Your Personal Pinterest Account Into a Business Account
Step 1: Go to business.pinterest.com, and click the red 'Convert your existing account' button.
Step 2: Next, select your 'Business Type,' and update your 'Contact Name,' and 'Email Address,' if necessary.

Google+ attracted over 100,000,00 users within the first 6 months of its launch and sites with a Google +1 button across their site generate 3.5 times more visits to their Google+ Page than those without the button.

"Recently, the CEO of Oracle, one of the largest and most advanced computer tech corporations in the world, tweeted for the very first time and joined a club that remains surprisingly elite." DN: Twitter is peerless in its current, to the moment sensing of what is going on in the world and the ease with which connections happen. Leadership + social, however, moves slowly, as attested by the CEO of HootSuite. HootSuite has been my favorite twitter management tool, by the way.
Leader reluctance to fully understand the impact and usefulness of social media may be to their company's detriment, via new findings released by McKinsey as well as learning which big companies are investing in social now. ___________________________
Social technologies [can] free up expertise trapped in departmental silos. High-skill workers can now be tapped company-wide ___________________________ Excerpts:
Among CEOs of the world’s Fortune 500 companies, a mere 20 have Twitter accounts. Larry Ellison, the Oracle CEO, by the way, hasn’t tweeted since.
A new report from McKinsey Global Institute, however, makes yet another business case for social media: According to an analysis of 4,200 companies by the business consulting giant, social technologies stand to unlock from $900 billion to $1.3 trillion in value. At the high end, that approaches Australia’s annual GDP. Two-thirds of the value ...rests in “improved communications and collaboration within and across enterprises...” Any human interaction in the workplace can be "socialized"--endowed with the speed, scale, and disruptive economics of the Internet.
___________________________
In the last year...Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Adobe and even Oracle, spent about $2.5 billion snatching up social media tools.
...R&D teams brainstorm products, HR vets applicants, sales fosters leads, and operations ...forecasts and monitors supply chains.
Social technologies [can] free up expertise trapped in departmental silos. High-skill workers can now be tapped company-wide.
...social sharing translates to a productivity windfall as "enterprise information becomes accessible and searchable, rather than locked up as ‘dark matter’ in inboxes.”
In the last year, the world’s largest enterprise software companies--Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Adobe, and even Ellison’s own Oracle--have spent upward of $2.5 billion snatching up social media tools to add to their enterprise suites.
Even Twitter-phobic CEOs may have a hard time ignoring that business case.

"Using LinkedIn to create a network that you can really do business with, in the emerging "gig' economy."
Good reminders on building traction and just-in-time contacts, including travel connections. I've set up open invites for places where I travel, after making connections at conferences, just as Neal suggests. ~ Deb

Excerpted:
It’s important because half of us won’t be in jobs within 8 years. We’ll be part of what Susannah Breslin calls the “gig” economy: small, micro-businesses highly dependent on our personal brand value and our connections for revenue!
...The reality...is we all need new ways to convert weak ties into business.
Here are more excerpts from the featured interview with Neal Schaffer who has written “Maximizing LinkedIn for Sales and Social Media Marketing” providing insider tips on...converting weak ties into strong.
_______________________
That is the supreme value of my LinkedIn connections, ...activate them...when I need them. _______________________
NS: “I look at my current LinkedIn network as something inbetween a following and a community. ...my LinkedIn connections provide me something that no other social network has: The ability to activate my Professional Graph, on demand, when I need to reach out to someone after finding them on an Advanced People Search.
That is the supreme value of my LinkedIn connections, ...activate them...only when I need them.
...I activate my LinkedIn network ...when I travel. I can easily search for my connections who live in a certain area and contact them in hopes of visiting them. This has led to many great networking events and new acquaintances, including one who introduced me to a Japanese publisher for whom I am currently negotiating a book deal.
All of this happened because of
1) my proactive engagement,
2) the LinkedIn functionality and
3) the fact that the demographic on LinkedIn is professional and more homogeneous in its professional nature than you will find on other social networks.”

This a timely and important piece from Mark Schaefer of {grow} in which he touches upon several issues which confront all of us who are trying to keep our heads above water in the ever-evolving world of Social Media.
To quote: "Not only do the platforms shift every day, the rules of engagement change constantly, too. Can anybody keep up with the real (and rumored) changes just to Facebook's EdgeRank formula? What we considered best practices six months ago are passé today. Social media is overwhelming, especially when there is pressure to master every new platform that comes along How do you keep up?."
Remember:
** Platforms may change but marketing fundamentals remain the same
** Absolutely nobody can navigate this changing world alone as there are too many facets to it, so form a mutually beneficial support group.
** There's too much informationfor any one person to keep on top of all of it, so pick a main focus and try really hard to keep mainly to that.
** Know your audience and go where you will find them. This might mean giving up on one of the major platforms. Swallow hard and do it!
** The more successful you become and the more your reach grows, the less time you will have to engage one-on-one with people. Don't let yourself feel guilty about this as it is inevitable.
** Go to a trusted source for information but be warned: Such a place may not (yet) exist.

Conversation Agent quotes on Influence from Valeria Maltoni It's the age of the connected customer and people are now comfortable using technology to share -- privately or in public.
Here are some highlights:
How social currency influences behavior
**Social influences include peer pressure and social exchange. The latter is stronger than an economic motive.
**Most human interactions consist of an exchange of value. From a psychological standpoint, actions like sharing signal desire for self expression, need for validation, and social status recognition, and also simply altruism and affinity with a group or cause.
**Both social influences are amplified in public settings.
Psychologist Robert Cialdini documented six principles of ethical persuasion:
**social proof
**authority
**affinity
**commitment
**consistency
**reciprocity
