One question: Your grid lists the Patriots as having the most Twitter followers with 30k but the text claims the Chargers as No. Really interesting stuff, I wonder how these match up with franchise valuation? 1 with 28k so…which is it?

Has anyone ever framed a good comment thread from a company blog, or a collection of “likes” on a Facebook Page? Here’s another question: Would you foot the bill to give users free access to coverage of your company or clients? So it’s hard to imagine mainstream media relations falling too far out of the PR toolkit.

That’s not an easy question to answer without having access to each site’s analytics data and knowing their goals and objectives. PostRank counts “engagement events” which it defines as individual activities such as a tweet, like, comment, digg, RSS view, etc. So which news sites are getting the most out of their social media efforts?

Of course the larger question is whether or not companies will use third-party services to distribute press releases via Twitter when they can do so for free on their own. in the comments below, today I corresponded with Greg Galant , CEO of Sawhorse Media, the company behind Muck Rack.

However my comedic talents are limited, so please bail me out by suggesting more reasons in the comments. Adam Sherk January 21, 2010 at 3:49 pm Thanks for your comment Charles.

Only the news organizations themselves can fully answer that question; their own analytics data combined with internal estimates of the value of fans and various actions will paint the clearest picture.

A couple weeks ago Tom Foremski and Todd Defren looked at the question of whether or not PR firms could or should use their ability to drive exposure and traffic through social media as a carrot in media pitches. A similar question could be asked of news organizations. Paywalls, Media Coverage and User Access: What’s a PR Pro to Do?
