When a Social Media Impression Is Not an Impression

When a Social Media Impression Is Not an Impression | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it
It seems every measurement tool has its own definition of a ‘Social Impression’, but that definition always takes the theoretical maximum number of views based on the number of followers each participant has. Unfortunately, the metric is disingenuous at best. The likelihood that every follower was online, saw, engaged, recorded, took note and let their eyes fall over that specific interaction is unlikely (if not impossible).I’d encourage brands to worry less about the media coverage and dig into metrics that, while may seemingly result in smaller numbers, account for true engagement and real interactions including response rates, shares and re-tweets.by Andy White

5 Reasons People Favourite Tweets on Twitter

5 Reasons People Favourite Tweets on Twitter | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it

.

 

With approximately 500 million users and an average of 400 million tweets sent per day,Twitter is undoubtedly one of the most popular social media platforms.

 

Increasingly so in recent years, brands have been embracing it for customer service, nurturing relationships with their customers, product feedback, promotion of their products and services, and generally boosting their online reputation.

From a consumer perspective, it seems that many have also grown used to disclosing a lot of personal information on Twitter.

Users retweet or reply to anything that particular resonates with them, that they find intriguing or that arouses interest in one way or another.

That’s why we thought it might be fun to take a look something we think is not as well understood in terms of functionality: the ‘favourite’.

What does it mean and how do people use it?

What Does Your Favorite Social Network Say About You? [INFOGRAPHIC] - AllTwitter | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it
What is it about Twitter that makes it your favourite social network? Could it be that you value sharing information more than personal experiences? Or if Facebook is your social network of choice, is that perhaps because you are uncomfortable with the unfamiliar, inasmuch as other social networks give you the heebie jeebies? And if you love Google+, then there’s only one reason for it: you work in online marketing. After all, why else would you bother? Some of these are a bit of a stretch, but there’s at least a sliver of truth throughout this visual fromDigital Information World, which proposes what your favourite social network says about you.

The Ultimate Guide To Pinterest For Every Brand: Engage And Flourish

The Ultimate Guide To Pinterest For Every Brand: Engage And Flourish | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it
THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO PINTEREST FOR EVERY BRAND: ENGAGE AND FLOURISH On the surface, Pinterest metrics seem simple, but underneath they are actually a bit confusing. This follow up article to our Ultimate Guide for Pinterest should help you gain a deeper understanding of Pinterest metrics and provide tips on effectively engaging with, and growing your follower base. Like Twitter, Pinterest allows you to post content to your feed that will appear in the newsfeed of your followers. The catch is unlike Twitter, you actually have multiple feeds that you can post to in the form of boards. This in of itself is not hard to understand, think of it as categorizing the content you post. The confusing part comes into play when you look deeper and realize each board has its own set of followers (see this blog post by a Pinterest developer on the inner workings of the follower graph). This means that any one of your followers may only be following a subset of your boards.

Twitter per il Business, 6 consigli utili

Twitter per il Business, 6 consigli utili | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it

Twitter è lo strumento più difficile per le imprese, forse uno dei più complessi da spiegare ai corsi.

Alessandro Rea's insight:

 Il magazine business2communitytenta di dare le principali nozioni per utilizzarlo nella comunicazione aziendale (successivamente potrà essere utile anche questo post su come scrivere il “tweet perfetto“).

 

1. Dai un’occhiata in giro
Gli inizi non sono facili, prima di twittare qualcosa prenditi qualche giornata di studio in modo da capire come gestiscono gli account le aziende leader del settore e i migliori professionisti, questo ti darà una buona base per il tuo primo tweet.


2. Stile personale
E’ molto importante distinguersi dalla folla di chi twitta. Personalizza l’immagine del tuo profilo in modo da dare un look unico e non confondibile. Inserisci il logo aziendale nell’immagine dell’account. Twittare con l’ovetto di default non è molto apprezzato.


3. Tweet brevi e chiari
Hai solo 140 caratteri, forse sono pure troppi, più sarai incisivo e breve e migliori saranno i risultati che otterrai. Uno studio rivela che per avere buone probabilità di retweet bisogna stare sotto i 120 caratteri. (alcuni buoni consigli li ho scritti qua: Come fare il tweet perfetto)


4. Non essere freddo
Non scrivere come un ufficio stampa o un robot, il linguaggio deve essere naturale se credete nel mezzo mediatico dovrete obbligatoriamente RISPONDERE a chi vi pone delle domande. E’ fondamentale impegnarsi nella conversazione altrimenti chi vi segue perderà interesse verso di voi.


5. Utilizzare gli hashtag
Quando partirete nessuno inizialmente vi seguirà, l’unico modo che avete per farvi un seguito e scrivere cose interessanti includendo un paio di hashtag adatti all’argomento. I più bravi li inseriscono nella frase in modo naturale. Quelli meno fantasiosi alla fine (oppure all’inizio). Un buon modo è inserirsi nei temi di tendenza, senza però sforzarsi troppo, ricordate di essere naturali.


6. Controllare le interazioni
C’è una TAB in alto con scritto “Connetti”, quella va tenuta costantemente monitorata per capire chi vi segue e soprattutto chi vi scrive. Chi vi segue spesso ha piacere di essere ricambiato, valutate se chi scrive può interessarvi e seguitelo anche voi. Personalmente seguo quasi tutti quelli che mi seguono, a meno che non siano account spiccatamente pubblicitari.

Questi sono consigli base, ai più potranno sembrare banalotti, purtroppo ho notato che molti non li conoscono ancora e trovano Twitter troppo difficile perché non ne conoscono le logiche. Spero che questo post serva a orientarsi nei primi passi.
