Christine has great points here and good recommendations!

I've learned a lot. This is a guideline every social media specialist should keep and follow.

 I came across this article on my Home Feed and thought it was a brilliant way to gather some information around the mysterious social platform, Google+. I will admit that prior to the article I was extremely intimidated by Google+. None of my friends had accounts- or at least ones that they spoke of on a frequent basis- but many of my favorite brands were present on this social platform. As a marketing student, I do believe that I should be as well versed on all current social networking sites as possible. I found this article, Why Google+ is the place for passions, by Mike Elgan and knew the time had come to understand and accept Google+ for exactly what it is.

Let me first clarify: every social media platform is different.  The engagement and use for each networking site is tailored to their direct audience. Elgan claims that “Twitteristas and Facebook folks” do not understand Google+ because they are expecting the platform to have similar engaging content as that of Twitter or Facebook. Frankly, it just not going to happen.  I consider Google+ to be a mixture of Pinterest with more sharing and connecting capabilities. Elgan presents the idea that Google+ is a platform where you can openly share your passion and receive a deeper discussion with those in your circle about it. You can also video chat and message others internationally who have your same passions as well. I have always felt that Facebook and Twitter have a superficial element. You can have as many friends as you would like on these platforms but the ability to share and engage with them is on a surface level. Google+ appears to provide a deeper passion behind content, which is definitely something I am more concerned with.

After reading this article I immediately created a Google+ account. Let’s see if Mike Elgan is right about this platform…

None of these 10 steps are super challenging, yet they are all critical to creating a distinct business identity for your company. Need help? Call CMK Marketing today and we'll get you on the right path, and help  you take a load off. 

The article discusses a new social media platform Tsu (pronounced Sue), which actually pays users for their posts. Payment is accumulated through an algorithm based upon who you get to join the network, your friends, and the engagement your post creates. Reviews of the platform look at it as beneficial because no other social media sites pay you for your posts. Tsu makes each and every post under your personal ownership. On the flip side, those who are members seem to posting anything and everything, without giving much thought or insight. Along with this, many are on their best behavior, being nice to everyone and becoming friends just to help with their payments.

It seems to me that recently a ton of social media platforms seem to be popping up than ever before. In no time, there will be so many to choose from that no one will become the next big thing. As I have said before, I think it will be hard for any new platform to compete with the ones already out there (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). These have been around for so long and have so many users that it will take something big to really gain any sort of market share in the social media world. While I am sure that people would love to get paid for their posts, I just don’t think the pay is large enough to bring large numbers of people over. On top of this, it just seems a little fake to me. Of course people are going to post as much as possible to get more money. I wouldn’t want to read stuff that people are posting that is uninteresting just so they can make a few cents.

This article is about How to write a social media update. The Social media websites that they talk about is Facebook, Twitter and Linkdin. The one for facebook that I thought was really helpful was put everything on different lines. It is better to put everything on different lines so everyone can read it and it is more clear. Clarity is very important with writing updates. The update that stood out for me on Twitter is alway using lowercase. I find that interesting that it helps if you make everything lower case. Finally the most important social media for new employees is linkdin. I find it very helpful to put everything on separate lines. Which I agree with from the article. The clearer you are on linkdin the better you sound to an employeer.
