Why Scoop.it should be a Hub of your Social Media Activity

Why Scoop.it should be a Hub of your Social Media Activity | Infographics and Social Media | Scoop.it

"Blogging is still important, but Scoop.it should be the hub of your social activities." writes Marty Smith in this very complete review of Scoop.it.

Marty's feedback is very interesting as you can take it as an experiment:

- What is the long-term effect of running social media from Scoop,it?

- How should you position this vs your blogging activities?

- How can the social features of Scoop.it help you create your community of interest?

Marty has been one of our early beta testers and a long-time blogger who built a strong social media expertise. His feedback after 18+ months on Scoop.it is precious and unique, especially if you're still hesitating about making Scoop.it the hub of your social media presence.

What's Really Going on With Klout & Why it's Important to Your Business [infographic]

What's Really Going on With Klout & Why it's Important to Your Business [infographic] | Infographics and Social Media | Scoop.it

My friend Mark Bartikoski brought this article and infographic to my attention. It was posted on Business 2 Community..

 

Whether we like it or not, Klout is here to stay, brands use it to find influencers who will in turn become advocates, companies use it when they're interviewing perspective employees and many of our peers pay attention to it too.

 

Once scrutinized for its methods and criticized as being nothing more than an online zodiac, Klout has nevertheless secured its place in the social media...

 

Included in this piece is a tip sheet to help you raise your score.

 

How does Klout measure your score?

 

**The number of people you influence + how much you influence them + how influential they are = your Klout Score

 

What goes into your score?

 

**Retweets and mentions

 

**Comments, wall posts and likes

 

**Tips, to-do's, done

 

**Comments, shares, +1s

 

Each user gets 5 +K each day to distribute to other users they consider influential
