This is not a regular practice on the social news giant, and unfortunately, that is probably the biggest thing causing its downfall.

Industry colleagues are those I have met in person (typically in a casual atmosphere or at conferences). Social media connections are those I know through a variety of online forums, the blogosphere, Twitter, and the like (but I generally don’t befriend someone immediately; I still give it time). Great post.

Because this critical post of Royal Caribbean disappointed me, I polled my Twitter followers for feedback. RCCL’s own words at that conference tells the tale: Hannock noted, “The key to success in viral marketing is to subtly influence the influencers without them overtly realizing they are being influenced.”

I don’t necessarily expect to meet with those folks immediately; often, these powerful relationships are formed online, and I then try to learn what I can about the blogger himself/herself and follow up, normally at a conference or industry event.

Don’t cross promote to Twitter (offer a different incentive on Twitter). Hootsuite , for example, has multiple tabs that highlight their social involvement elsewhere on the web. Don’t just broadcast the same messages to your Twitter and Facebook followers. You can elect to do this one of two ways.

Social Media is More than Just Twitter and Facebook Hopefully, if you’re participating in social media marketing, you’re using more than just the tools everyone else is using. However, you need to articulate to your client or marketing teams that social media is not just about participating on Twitter and Facebook.

As all conferences I’ve attended, it was a great one, and by far the best part was the smallness of the conference overall which really helped the networking efforts. Evan: I’ll admit, I shoot the monkey on the advertisements. One in a magazine or one that is online? Now why would I do that?)

Yup, you can’t just chat with people on Twitter and broadcast on Facebook. Market saturation brings lots and lots of experts , many of whom think Twitter is a shiny new object and are ready to write books, charge $2000 for conferences where they promise TWITTER TIPS AND TRICKS THAT NOBODY HAS SEEN BEFORE (in caps!),

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.

For me, it’s just asking, via email, Twitter, or Facebook. For example, I write a lot about AOL, and after the recent layoffs, I wrote how the entire mobile advertising team took a voluntary buyout and quit the company.

This transition happened most notably in parallel with the rise of Twitter and Facebook as platforms to share content. Mashable adapted their content to the social media space and started publishing more articles than ever before; not unlike what the Daily Mail has done with the online version of their publication.

Reply Adam Metz April 28, 2010 at 11:00 am Sure, Tamar, many of the new developments in the last few years are not great for small business (marcom/ad budgets under $100k), but even SME brands won’t blink an eye at having to become a basic Facebook advertiser ($600-1200/year). I want Facebook to look at this guy on Twitter.
