If you want to get a reaction from a public relations or social media pro, ask them about influence. The Klout Score uses data from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Foursquare in order to. That’s why I continue to believe that you can’t accurately measure a person’s influence in social media.

Who owns your brand’s social media data? Every company is looking into the social game in one way shape or form nowadays. Facebook is the hotness that many are using as their community platform to build out oodles of fans (Twitter and LinkedIn are doing this to a lesser extent).

I must also confess that I am a social media junkie, so my love affair and ease of use does not apply to the non-geeky populous who flock to Facebook like it was the last piece of dry land in Waterworld. It is short hits that cut to the chase and there is no room for crap in 140 characters.

When you think about it in the big picture, companies like LinkedIn, Facebook and Google all have skin in the community game. The easier that they make it for companies to test the community waters on their platforms, the more that these same companies (and their customers) will spend on their platform.

Sure Google+ has some social components, but it is far from a social network, rather it’s a means to make search smarter. Sure it’s 40 million user-base is dwarfed by those of Facebook, Twitter and even LinkedIn, but none of them have the user base of Google. Think I am wrong? Think again.
