News sites have a big advantage over other companies on Facebook because they regularly produce breaking news and other forms of quality content that can be featured on their pages and placed in user news feeds. News Sites on Twitter: Who is Making the Most Impact? So perhaps they have less of a need to add extra bells and whistles.

It’s particularly worrying in some areas, where companies of the size and scale of Google have effectively closed out the market, particularly in terms of RSS syndication with Feedburner and RSS reading with Google Reader. But also the @Feedburner Twitter account is being closed from today as well.

by Adam Sherk on May 26, 2009 The discussion about HubSpot’s post on the syndication of social media press releases vs. traditional press releases called my attention again to PitchEngine , a platform for creating and sharing social media releases (SMRs). The contest was hosted on YouTube, and therefore the videos lived on YouTube.

Some marketers have felt that the guidelines are too limiting or controlling, but among other things Facebook is trying to prevent significant manipulation of the news feed. Of course everyone tries to facilitate engagement on their Facebook Pages and increase exposure in users’ news feeds; that’s a basic component of Facebook marketing.

But that’s no longer a significant opportunity, so blog tags are now more about on-site usability; directing users to additional content on a particular topic or allowing them to subscribe to topic-specific RSS feeds. To be clear, I’m not saying that blog tags have no SEO purpose or value. What Horrible Things Did Time Magazine Do in 1964?

It gives you a good sense of how far your message traveled on Twitter — I get that this isn’t always the best metric, but if you have breaking news, it’s nice to be able to equate how far and fast news traveled on Twitter in a way that most executives recognize: number of tweets, top twitterers and impressions!

In cross checking against the news sites in my posts on Twitter impact and Facebook Page valuation I also did not see Digg profiles for Newsweek, ABC News, AP, NPR, PBS, The Financial Times or The Guardian.

by Adam Sherk on May 1, 2009 I’ve been surprised by how many people choose to follow the main Twitter account of major news sites. I know in some cases it’s because they are featured as “suggested users” to people who sign up for a new Twitter account. But it seems like there are much better ways to monitor daily news feeds.

Twitter Following a user and then unfollowing them before they have a chance to follow back. Consistently using your Twitter stream for nothing but self-promotion and ego. This is much more bothersome when the request comes via IM or email and not on Twitter itself. Twitter is also about real relationships.
