Hot trends to watch, Social Media where to focus? 
Steven Mallach's curator insight,
April 30, 11:00 PM
Trend watching is not only fun, it's one of the areas that every copywriter should keep an eye on.
Trends are ideal topics to give your content some snap. Topical issues and interest areas are also shared more often (obvioulsy).
So if you create content either for yourself, or for a client make sure that you have weekly recommendations for inclusion in their owned channel (blog / website) and their shared channels (social media).
There are plenty of great trend tracking software applications on the web, many of them free. Make use of them.
Keep an eye out for trends which are directly and indirectly related to client services and products and leverage this knowledge. Remember the sign of a great copywriter is to be able to apply knowledge laterally. The topic may not be directly related to everyday client activities, but will the audience find the trend interesting?
Remember to keep your copy light, humor never hurt either.

2012: The Year Of Social Business Strategy... For a lot of business, 2011 was the year of “finding itself” in its attempt to bring itself online in the social media era. Almost over night, thousands of social media-centric job openings began appearing on job boards. Some of them were more traditional-sounding roles, while others appeared to be completely new. As you can see, social business isn’t designated to a single department within a company. Rather, it is far reaching and requires the involvement of people both in the C-Suite and on the ground. 2012 is the year when talk turns into action, and teams formed to develop plans and strategy, really get to work.

Being able to convince people with the own attitude and talents is good, being liked and followed by many is wonderful and being successful is great, but what really counts above all is character. Character is the key for a life of integrity and ethical excellence.
1.) Action is the measure of character - saying and doing the right thing are two different things – only action is the true measure of character.
Now you will say:
-> For you maybe and for a short-term success, but not for long-term. Influence is a matter of transitoriness and your reputation is only a shadow of your character.
“Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow. The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing.” ~ Abraham Lincoln
NOW WHAT WILL YOU DO FURTHERMORE?
Hunting after your ability to influence people and forgetting your character? Or concentrating primarily on your character?

Can't help feeling surprised that contests are scoring highest as engagement means for social media followers.
Interesting factoid here: questions rank pretty low on the engagement totem pole.
Posting this because it's useful, i.e., the "info" drives the "graphic", not the other way around.
