I get asked A LOT about social media measurement. Generally the questions fall in to a couple of buckets – but predominantly I get the “ROI” question. There are a lot of answers that I could give.

Facebook, which has been built on the premise of people using their birth names rather than pseudonyms, will soon allow prominent public figures and celebrities to use a nickname instead of their real name.

In the last decade social networking has not only become a buzz word but a way of life for nearly one billion users around the world. Website users use social media to engage their audience, family use it to stay connected and other users engage in their own personal ways.
While the Grovo created video might not provide eye opening facts for those of us who spend a majority of our time online it’s a great way to engage family members and friends who just don’t get this “whole social media thing…

While quality content is still the best way to build a site, blog, or brand; the best posts include photos, videos, slide shows, audio, etc. The more complete the package of information is the better the responses to it will usually be. I recently found a buyer for a piece of equipment, but this only came after the listing was updated to include a video with audio so people could really appreciate how great the item was. Given the easy access to high-speed internet access, you must take advantage of using all possible media in your posts. good luck, Max
