Research Shows Divergence in Social Media Uptake

Research Shows  Divergence in Social Media Uptake | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it

Research shows the use of social media at Fortune 500 has stalled, or perhaps even re-trenched.


This article for 'Grow' presents Data  provided by the Center for Marketing Research at the University of Massachusetts.


What particularly caught my attention is:


***The almost universal uptake of Social Media by Universities and Charities.


***The divergence in uptake between Fortune 500 companies - the "titans" of American Business, and the INC 500, comprising America's fastest growing companies


A perhaps even more interesting divergence among the Fortune 500 where:


***The top 100 companies are the most active blogging companies.


***Only 17% of the next 400 companies blog.


It would be easy to conject as to the reasons for these stark differences, but I choose to let the numbers speak for themselves.  I will, however, be on the lookout for further pieces and more in-depth Data on this intriguing puzzle.

The Resentment Machine -The New Inquiry

The Resentment Machine -The New Inquiry | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it

The popular adoption of the internet has brought with it great changes. One of the peculiar aspects of this particular revolution is that it has been historicized in real time — reported accurately, greatly exaggerated, or outright invented, often by those who have embraced the technology most fully.

What If Google Was a Person? - Google [Video]

What If Google Was a Person? - Google [Video] | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it

I found this video on State of Search - It's  the weekend, this is lighthearted, or is it? The thought of Google being a person is scary, well it might as well be:-)

 

Intro:

 

"Google knows a lot about us. That can be handy but also scary. What if Google would be a person and would know all about us?" And that person would know everything about us. Do you think we would like that?

The tiny lens attaches to the camera of the iPhone 4 and 4S, giving the smartphone fisheye, wide-angle and macro lenses—all in one convenient package. Switching between lenses is as easy as turning the accessory around, or, in the case of the macro lens, by unscrewing the wide-angle lens.

11 Tips You Can Use Today to Develop Outstanding Content for Your Blog | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it

How often should I post on my blog?... How long should my posts be?... Can I have other people write articles for me?... How far can I stray from my chosen topic?

 

How do I create incredible content that attracts hundreds of comments and shares? How do I keep people coming back to read everything I publish?

 

At some point, all bloggers have these and dozens of other questions about developing content. Maybe you’re struggling with some of them right now.

 

As we gear up for the launch of our new blog Expert Enough as part of the Million Dollar Blog Project, we’ve been thinking a lot about content strategy. I’m going to share our content strategy for the new blog later in this post, but first, here are 11 of my top tips for developing outstanding content for your blog:

The Inside Story: 5 Secrets To Pixar’s Success

The Inside Story: 5 Secrets To Pixar’s Success | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it

"The movie was completely rewritten and produced in the remaining eight months. Toy Story 2 went on to become one of the most critically acclaimed Pixar movies of all time, but only because Jacob and others on his team had the guts to say the work wasn’t good enough. It wasn’t something they could believe in.

It’s easy to be lulled into thinking creativity lives and breathes better when free of criticism. While quick judgment can kill great ideas in the nub, a straight-up, critical assessment is just as important as any brainstorm technique.

Be honest with yourself. When the work isn’t great, say so. Then get to work making something you can believe in."

We are living in experiential times and mass entertainment is in rapid transition. We, as producers of this content, are clearly marching down a road toward a personal entertainment Holodeck. Once the sole domain of theme parks every part of the media landscape is becoming experiential and there is a good deal evidence over the past few years of this behavioral and content media shift.
