A research paper released at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) by Facebook’s data scientists tells us they have been manipulating user’s newsfeeds to see if negative or positive emotions are as contagious on social networks as they are in real life.

I’m pretty sure you can think of more than one social media example of how a brand simply did not understand their user-base and suffered for an unconscious tweet or Facebook post! The ability to step into the shoes of co-workers and customers allows us to earn trust, loyalty, and understanding.

Because this is clearly a direct assault on Facebook pages. For example: Friend Mike Elgin created a page where he and his wife plan to share their new diet called The Spartan Diet and he says he’ll be sharing on this page instead of to the circles of foodies he had created. How could we resist?

They proceeded to demand that she personally solve the issues and just to add that extra weight to their influence they informed her that “We’re tracking all of this on Facebook&# implying that if she didn’t solve it they’d be talking about her personally with her neighbors and trashing the shelters reputation to boot.

However, the majority are still only focusing on major social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

For example: A page can’t follow you until you follow it first or mention it in a post. There is no facility to add admins to a page (like Facebook) so you either create an account just for this purpose or share your user name and password with other admins. Look at H&M for example. That’s the really sad part.

You may want to start by searching only blogs, or only Twitter or videos for example. Gather links for their Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Linkedin profiles at a minimum.

This is particularly true on Facebook. Because Facebook has a ranking system called “EdgeRank&#. Because Facebook has a ranking system called “EdgeRank&#. Facebook is looking to see if you have common interests and the quality of those interests, and it does this with an algorithm. Low ranking? Be polarizing.

Google+ is worth the effort. But nobody uses Google+.

You can have the biggest following on Twitter and Facebook and Google+ , the best videos on Youtube and a constant flow of repins on Pinterest and still not make a single sale. For example, I have one for a Google+ e-book. I know, social media is what I do, and I love it, but in the end it’s a tool. Basic, but often ignored.
