This is not a regular practice on the social news giant, and unfortunately, that is probably the biggest thing causing its downfall. There was only one occasion when the users were able to make a lasting impression on the social news site. It’s hard to say if that will happen again. Time will only tell.

I ran the social news site Reddit through the tool as an example and I’m told that around 55% of visitors are male (though I expect this to be a little lower than reality) and 24% of the audience are over 50 years old. There are lots of ways to go with this, but hopefully you get the idea.

First, I’m going to say kudos to Apple for trying involve themselves in the world of social media. Let’s envision this scenario: a user has a support issue about an Apple product. Apple has no such protocol in place, and at this point, there is no engagement. I’m going to stop there, though.

Well, for one, social media users — that is, users on social news sites such as Digg, Mixx, Reddit — are not particularly enthusiastic about the proliferation of marketers in their community. This is a huge challenge for someone who wants to sell their product using social media.

If you use Twitter regularly, you’d see that it wins as a social news site that provides instantaneous news — at least of that caliber. As Chris Garrett explains in his post, if you follow numerous feed bots, you can get the news all the time. The right news will hit the front page of Digg quickly.

Reply Tamar Weinberg September 26, 2007 at 12:17 am My primary complaint with Reddit is that while it’s not slow at all compared to other social news sites, the interface is very primitive. Maybe I should start using Reddit more. Lots of other reasons to love Reddit.

From that standpoint there is no difference whatsoever between social media and SEO. sure, maybe SEO is more “technical&# than social media and can probably be measured more, but that’s a primitive argument because you’d be comparing apples to oranges. But again, you’re comparing apples to oranges.

He also contributed to what I call padding , which is now popular on news websites. An Apple event that could normally be covered in one or two blog posts will be turned into five or ten, purely for pageviews. The New York Times? Digg was the biggest social news site on the web and everyone wanted to be on their homepage.

Our family’s first computer (which wasn’t net-equipped) was an Apple IIgs which my father purchased in 1987. Today, nearly all of my high school friends are online, and most of them maintain Facebook or MySpace accounts. Computers are getting smaller, cheaper, and more efficient.

On the other hand, in Internet Marketing, you sure can, so I wonder if it’s an apples-to-oranges comparison. You know, I’ve always wondered what a “free consultation&# in the legal field entails. Can you get much actionable information out of it? Probably not. I have no idea, really.

Your comparison is apples to oranges. I get that this is all a social proof numbers game. Again, apples and oranges. By your logic, wouldn’t it be better to offer the button without indicating how many times it was clicked?

The Apple Students Group is a great way for Apple to market its own products, and over the summer, it offered free songs through iTunes. If students aren’t looking to pay to connect to their friends (it would defeat the allure of coming to the site), the site needs to pay for itself in some other way.
