Sure, you can search popular video sites like Vimeo and YouTube , but it can take a while to filter through all the videos available to find the good stuff. Other users can subscribe to your channel, follow hashtags and re-share videos through the app or the major social networks. Got an Apple computer or TV?

For that you need a network of connections, preferably with connections of their own! That makes the $Billion question: “How do I build a following to drive traffic to my…blog, web site, Facebook page, Twitter page, etc, etc, etc.&#. Fortunately the answers are the same no matter what network you’re trying to grow.

Equally, if you expect it to stand alone without the support of the people in your social networks you may as well rent a billboard in the desert. If you create scads of content and expect people to flock to your brand out of nowhere you’re nuts. Where do we get content? You write about the passion that makes your company great.

Just like other social networks, what gets shared the most is still videos photos and jokes. On your web site. Make it easy for the fans you’ve already got on your web site or blog to share your posts directly to Google+. Popular gets you shared, but is it your message?

The user interface is getting better but it’s still painful to get in and out unlike sites like Twitter and Facebook which are very manageable through 3rd party apps. The traffic we get from Google+ also sticks longer than other social media referrals. AlmostSavvy.com. Irene Koehler.

I can sketch out a design for a client on my iPad with Penultimate, save it to a folder in Evernote and share it with my designers instantly, clips web pages, take photos or scan documents on site and add it to the folder and have it all be easily accessible to whoever needs it. Great for saving those middle of the night bright ideas.

How could we possible avoid talking about social media? We’d spend the next hour or two with our phones turned off, and every time a social network or an iPhone app was mentioned the offender took a shot of Tequila (I don’t recommend this). So we decided on a little experiment. And we did.

We tend to hangout with the people we know, but on this platform people interested in the same thing you are freely drop into discussions and the follow you there or on your other social networks. Bottom line.

It used to be this would return a list of scholarly papers, some nasty pictures of you at a bachelor party, a random smattering of form posts about cupcakes or software and possibly your connections on some social networks. Run it on more than one site so you get a good feel of what’s out there. Here’s a game plan.

So here’s a thumbnail of just 4 “social networks&# and how community applies to them (in my opinion). This is very general, so don’t get your panties in a bunch if I say your favorite network is not what you think it is. Link sharing is easy here and it often gets carried over into other networks like Facebook.

I can monitor conversations from social media sites, import my contacts from Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, email and then tag, sort and monitor what’s going on at the individual or corporate level across my social networks through their dashboard. As a social media coach I work with a lot of companies.

You’ve got to have a solid plan and hopefully either a large social network or access to people who have large and engaged networks to help you. Crowdfunding is definitely easier if you’re already in a social business mindset.

The idea is that a short video clip from one friend can spread within your circle of friends to a much larger thing which can then be shared on your social networks or anywhere else on the web. Now, these are not the first to do live video streaming. Remember Qik (say “quick”)? The apps are relatively easy to use.

Today we may think it has to mean they use social media, but there’s more to it than that. Just having millions of followers, fans and “interactions” on social networks doesn’t make you social. You must talk to your customers. Engage them, inform them, entertain them.

This year flew by and the sheer number of new social networks and applications is simply stunning. I wanted to take a moment to thank just a few of the people I’ve learned from this year and I asked them to share an answer to the following question: What was the most important thing you learned about social media this year?

Follow them, re-pin something of theirs.
