I’ve been an active user online for many years so I’m pretty easy to find. You can’t mention activism and social media without James Karl Buck coming up. His tweet activated his social network and word spread quickly. Change the date across all your networks.

What’s the best social media marketing tool for scheduling your updates?

Janet Fouts

JANUARY 28, 2018

Why social media scheduling is necessary – and what to look for: The most obvious reason why you need scheduling is that it saves you quite a bit of time – but also the fact that you can’t always be online, posting updates around the clock. But, not just any social media scheduling tool will do. Collaboration tools.

My friend said he signed up for Google+ ages ago, but really doesn’t enjoy it much because there’s not a lot of activity. That’s not how a social network works though. Clearly he’s not circling the right people on Google+. So here’s how to do that for Google+.

It also has an option to auto-post to social networks with a notice you are starting or just completed meditation. As someone who actively encourages people to try meditation and mindfulness practices in their daily work and home lives, I suggest apps and tools to help people develop a good habit of practice.

Especially in social media, taking the time to actively notice what’s going on before engaging can lead to a more focused, enlightening and productive experience for everyone. He says the more technology we have, the more we interact on social networks, get emails and text messages, the more we need to slow down.

Most businesses are now well aware of the benefits that using social media can bring, such as driving sales, getting customer feedback, building brand awareness and more. However, the majority are still only focusing on major social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

The popularity of Instagram is clear, and if you are inclined to snap photos and share them with your friends and customers on social networks you can make your business more social and build a powerful sharing community on Instagram quickly. Measure the other networks too. Why does Instagram work so well?

The site takes your activities on the site, the investments in you and the amount of social interaction on popular social media sites as runs some sort of algorithm to gauge your value overall.

Wait, Facebook is MySpace?

That’s even more true in a social network whose users are often less web savvy and thrown by major UI changes as well as concerned about privacy issues. Facebook chooses top stories for you.Top stories are based on how active people are on the story (remember the importance of edge rank!). Facebook news feed changes.

It used to be this would return a list of scholarly papers, some nasty pictures of you at a bachelor party, a random smattering of form posts about cupcakes or software and possibly your connections on some social networks. These days however, it can mean a whole lot more. Looking for a job in marketing? Peer Index.

Founder Dalton Caldwell created this new network–known to fans as ADN– a mere 12 weeks ago as an ad-free, real-time social network. Some are a little wobbly on their feet, but many of the developers actively take feedback on ADN and turn that feedback into features. How cool is that?

SEPTEMBER 5, 2014

Google+ is a great social network. People are constantly dissing this particular network even though it really has more intelligent conversation going on than many other networks. If I never share anything to the public and only share to circles then nobody knows I’m active on Google+.

The idea is that a short video clip from one friend can spread within your circle of friends to a much larger thing which can then be shared on your social networks or anywhere else on the web. Now, these are not the first to do live video streaming. Remember Qik (say “quick”)? After all they are in flux. The latest.

NOVEMBER 7, 2017

I just read the Sprout Social Q4 Index for 2017 , and it’s got some very interesting data, especially if you’re a marketer. The report is based on data from 357,000 public social profiles (171,000 Facebook; 134,000 Twitter; 52,000 Instagram) of continually active accounts. They analyzed more than 5.7 Yeah, you probably did.

Today we may think it has to mean they use social media, but there’s more to it than that. Just having millions of followers, fans and “interactions” on social networks doesn’t make you social. All of these are social activities too.
