Apple Gets More Serious About Using Twitter, but Why it Doesn't Matter

Techipedia: Tamar Weinberg

OCTOBER 22, 2009

First, I’m going to say kudos to Apple for trying involve themselves in the world of social media. Let’s envision this scenario: a user has a support issue about an Apple product. Apple has no such protocol in place, and at this point, there is no engagement. I’m going to stop there, though.

With social media — or quite frankly, the existence of the Internet, any misstep you make in your personal dealings with others can become public. Social media is social. We’re starting to use search — and social media — as our recommendation engines.

The Unfortunate Investment of Social Media (and its Consequences)

FEBRUARY 1, 2008

This is not a regular practice on the social news giant, and unfortunately, that is probably the biggest thing causing its downfall. Really, the biggest unfortunate investment of social media is that it’s often a thankless job. That hasn’t been much of a reality on Digg. Digg is not the government.

If you use Twitter regularly, you’d see that it wins as a social news site that provides instantaneous news — at least of that caliber. As Chris Garrett explains in his post, if you follow numerous feed bots, you can get the news all the time. The right news will hit the front page of Digg quickly.

Well, for one, social media users — that is, users on social news sites such as Digg, Mixx, Reddit — are not particularly enthusiastic about the proliferation of marketers in their community. This is a huge challenge for someone who wants to sell their product using social media.

Social media was always social , just not with that funny name. Today, Facebook or MySpace will help you locate lost family or reunite with old friends. Today, nearly all of my high school friends are online, and most of them maintain Facebook or MySpace accounts. That was almost a decade ago.

Yet with social media, there’s a perception that it’s easy to score freebies. Social media has introduced incentives to the online space, encouraging others to connect with your business. And unfortunately, social media is at fault for breeding this mentality and causing it to spread.

DECEMBER 15, 2009

However, the number of SEOs I’ve come across are much fewer and farther between than social media marketers. In fact, I hear the same SEO names every day; I learn of a new “social media expert&# twice a day. Despite this, social media marketing is much more difficult than search engine optimization.
