Naming your page isn’t so important when you set it up.You want it to be evocative of the mission of the page, sure, but you’re probably going to change it anyway, and until you get that precious 25 followers the url is going to look something like this: [link]. It’s the only way people are going to find you on Facebook.

So you might think my position would be that Google+ is the be-all end-all social media network for business and people should be pitching their blogs and Facebook pages out the window in favor of Google+. A “vanity URL so you can direct customers to your page in print material or verbally. And there you’d be mistaken.

Because this is clearly a direct assault on Facebook pages. Save the Children UK launched their nonprofit page and did a great job setting off their profile with moving photos (hmm, just like Facebook pages eh?). You can use a URL shortener to get you a nice tidy URL to share with your friends. How could we resist?

It works with most major social networks, namely: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Instagram, and YouTube; in terms of scheduling, thought, with all but YouTube. First of all, it only works with 3 social networks: Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Take the list and search their names, their blog title, URLs to find out how many mentions there are online. Gather links for their Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Linkedin profiles at a minimum. Look up the blog URL on Compete.com and/or Alexa.com to see an estimate of how much traffic they get.

The new communities effectively replace the old Google groups, Facebook groups, maybe even Facebook Pages and offer a lot of features we like about all of them. Better Visibility Than Facebook Pages. Even Facebook will tell you that only 16% of the users who opted in for news from your Facebook page ever even see it.

Of course there are the obvious apps like Linkedin , Facebook , Skype etc. Upload images with just about all of the popular image and video services used with Twitter and shorten URLs with my shortener of choice. Obviously I couldn’t keep from sharing a few of my favorite social apps too, it’s what I do.
