The EAT ME Conundrum: Occasionally, a company who is jumping into social media will get lucky and land in the viral vortex. Building up your social media presence will almost definitely take time.

And with over 63 million company profiles on LinkedIn, it’s important to know when the best time to post is for you to engage with your followers – whether they’re clients, customers, employees or prospects, or all of the above. High engagement hours are more concentrated midday and don’t extend too far out past the workday hours.

Social media, which by definition is about being communal and sociable, making someone move towards the other end of the spectrum? There’s no way – no way – I would have felt so much a part of that community if I hadn’t previously connected with many of the folks I meet IRL on social media. Interesting.

Every time I tell someone I’m a Community Manager , I get a varied response. &# That last one might be the most honest of the three, since asking a Community Manager whether they tweet for a living is like asking a construction worker if they cat-call for a living, or a doctor if he asks people to say “ah!&# for a living.

And more important, are you SHARING other people’s status updates with your community? Facebook crosses over audiences, so while I have some business "friends" an update about my company or a blog post that really got me fired up wouldnt make sense shared to mostly old school friends. Are you RT’ing other people’s messages?

Its the same old folks (often because the companies use the same old faulty metrics -- evidenced by the AdAge Power150, especially when they introduced Alexa -- or because the more subjective lists are published by groups of pals who like to pat each other on the back).

But application server preferences aside, the first thing any company should do is not skimp on their hosting provider. You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to hosting in my experience.

There’s no single right way to use hashtags on Instagram but there are definitely some best practices. This is a good tactic to use for following industry or community hashtags because it helps you keep tabs on them. Branded hashtags are oftentimes the brand’s name, a brand slogan or related to a brand community.
