On Wednesday I wrote about 4 questions about starting a LinkedIn group every CMO should ask. While managing your own LinkedIn group has many advantages, creating a successful group of your own is difficult—and definitely not for everyone. However, if you have decided to start a LinkedIn group, this infographic from Top Dog Social Media on the Top 10 Steps to Set Up Your Own LinkedIn Group offers some useful suggestions.

More often than not, it’s the little things that get you. You manage to get the family to the airport with all your luggage, the tickets, and your sanity intact, but realize the toddler isn’t wearing shoes. The day of the wedding arrives and things are going smoothly until suddenly you see that you’ve reserved a limo for tomorrow instead of today.

“Best practices for measuring social media marketing are still evolving, and even though brands are committing an increasing percentage of their budgets to social channels, many are still skeptical about its value and return on investment (ROI).”

Jobs involving social media have exploded in the last few years, with postings for social professionals on LinkedIn growing an incredible 1,357 percent since 2010. Long gone are the days when a single marketing or PR person could manage a branded social networking account in their spare time – certainly to any degree of excellence. Now, the bigger firms need social media managers, marketers, consultants and other specialists* to make sure the work gets done right. Some 42 percent of social media vacancies are senior level, and New York, San Francisco and London are amongst the world’s most social cities. This infographic courtesy of Offerpop takes a closer look at the rise of social media as a profession.

When you’re managing your business on social media, it’s essential that you equip yourself with the right tools to do the job. While I’m a firm believer that 90 percent of Twitter is just showing up, simply being a presence isn’t enough unless you have the platforms and apps in place to effectively measure your ROI and maximise your social strategy. This infographic from The Social Media Strategies Summit takes a closer look at 25 awesome social media tools your brand should be using.

If I told you that a fact, wrapped in an emotional story, is 20-times more memorable, would you believe it?
Alessandro Rea's insight:
The story author Michael Harris uses in this article proves his point so elegantly he hardly needed to write much more. But he did and this post is a terrific statement about how stories trump data and information every time.
And the article makes another subtler point about those times when we do need to share data: wrap it in a story to make it stick. It makes all the difference in the world.

Alessandro Rea's insight:
Mi è piaciuta l’intenzione, la creatività, lo stile del video, la bellezza delle pagine stampa, di ogni fotografia e delle parole che l’accompagnano… Parlo da creativo, da professionista e docente, attento ai linguaggi della comunicazione e a come la nostra retorica sa coinvolgere, raccontare, costruire ancora suggestioni di grande impatto visivo. Peccato per quell’hashtag e per la rincorsa allo storytelling digitale che fa tantoduepuntozero e ci rende tutti un po’ più simpa. Peccato, perché la Rete è piena di socialmediaguruexpertpionierivisionarieveteranidell’Internet. E questi hanno il comando breve sulla tastiera che scrive “epic fail” alla prima incertezza, ma non è di loro che dobbiamo curarci. Perché loro sono come i tanti allenatori al bar, prima e dopo le partite della nazionale. Sono il rumore di sottofondo necessario, ma Prandelli non si basa su questo per scegliere la sua formazione. Dobbiamo invece curarci dei guerrieri veri. E allora sì, forse questo hashtag ha peccato di leggerezza. Si è fatto prendere la mano e ha sottovalutato la rabbia e la frustrazione dei tanti che lottano e che stanno perdendo la loro battaglia. Quando scegliamo lo storytelling, dobbiamo avere un lieto fine tra le mani, il territorio narrativo dev’essere condiviso e il patto con il lettore dichiarato subito, nella prima riga del nostro scrivere.
E ancora, lo scrivo con grandissimo e profondo rispetto del lavoro di tutti i colleghi che hanno firmato questa campagna, forse valeva tentare un estremo atto di coraggio: rinunciare al logo su ogni oggetto di comunicazione. Lanciarla questa conversazione. Lanciarla così. Con quel video, con quelle pagine, con un sito internet e un hashtag pronto a raccogliere ogni testimonianza. Bella o brutta. E poi osservare. Senza loghi di mezzo. Osservare la conversazione. Monitorarla. Ascoltare le storie positive e quelle negative. Un po’ nascosti. Tra le righe. E capire poi, solo dopo, come inserirsi in quel thread, senza chiamarlo storytelling, perché quelli che scrivono i libri sullo storytelling non fanno il nostro mestiere e gli uffici marketing sono diversi dalle aule universitarie. Facile scriverlo adesso. “Del senno di poi, son piene le fosse”, ma qui abbiamo tutti una lezione da imparare e questa bella campagna ci sta insegnando a fare un passo indietro, quando la pubblicità si avventura sui nervi scoperti e non tutte le marche possono permetterselo. Anzi.

CC Search est un portail bien pratique que j'ai trouvé il y a peu de temps. Il n'est pas nouveau mais à l'avantage de donner accès à des tas de moteurs de recherche ou des moyens pour trouver tout le contenu que vous souhaitez, que ce soit image, musique, média etc..... Tout ce qui est libre de droit est à votre porté et tout près de vous sans se compliquer la vie. Grâce à CC Search, vous pourrez donc facilement trouver votre bonheur pour vos blogs ou autre sites web etc.... Comme il est dit sur le site, search.creativecommons.org n'est pas un moteur de recherche, mais le portail offre un accès pratique à des services de recherche proposés par d'autres organisations indépendantes. En Français et surtout hyper simple d'emploi CC Search est pour moi le compagnon idéal pour nos recherches en tout genre.

Alessandro Rea's insight:
The cast of AMC's acclaimed drama Breaking Bad tweeted their final emotional messages to fans before the Emmy-winning series ends Sunday night. The spoiler-free tweets arrived hours before the fifth and last Breaking Bad season concludes, although remnants of the popular show will live on through an AMC spinoff seriesabout criminal lawyer Saul Goodman. The spinoff is tentatively titled Better Call Saul. SEE ALSO: 'Breaking Bad' Finale Didn't Quite Break Twitter or Facebook At the Primetime Emmys, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan admitted to Mashable that the show may have met its demise after season two had it not been for streaming video on demand: "It's indeed a golden age of television ... I think Netflix kept us on the air." Spurred on by the official @BreakingBad_AMC account, fans are using the hashtag#GoodbyeBreakingBad in their tweets. The series finale airs at 9 p.m. ET.
