What all these stories have in common is that they all have a more-or-less related theme, which is essentially how and why to live a good life. The more popular one is A Digital Nativity , but A Social Network Christmas is fun to watch as well. What do they have in common?

A while back, I asked a fairly straight-forward question on my Facebook page : What is your social media pet peeve? The value, here, is to help each of us understand what irritates other people in the realm of social media. Not that we have to please everyone, but if there are a lot of folks who are irritated by a specific behavior (ahem…auto-direct messages on Twitter), we might think twice about engaging in that behavior via our personal or business social media channels.

So what does this have to do with social media? I’m pretty sure that social media has replaced rock and roll as the complex issues facing parents, today. Too often, when I tell other parents that I’m the Director of Social Media for a digital agency , I get a blank stare and a request for clarification of what I do that goes something like “Does that mean you play on Facebook all day?” Do your kids know what social media is?”

Shhh… photo courtesy of Sarah G on Flickr via Creative Commons license. Recently, Twitter has been behaving pretty anti-socially with their data. For a company that is engaged in the business of social media (which means sharing things), they recently restricted how developers can use their API. Needless to say, a lot of people are pretty miffed about this behavior from one of the big social media companies. But fear-not fellow social sharers!

Speaking social can sometimes be tough, especially with clients who haven’t yet engaged in social media or sometimes just “don’t get it” Even those clients who do understand and engage in the social space are sometime confused about the use of specific terms and jargon that social media pros use. Below is a list of 10 terms that I think social media pros use or focus on that sometimes confuse our clients. Social can do both.

THE UNBELIEVABLE CONNECTIONS WE MAKE VIA SOCIAL MEDIA. Part of the beauty of Social Networking is the ability to “talk” to just about anyone from anywhere in the world. Perhaps it is the extrovert in me that was drawn to Social Media, and the ability to connect on a massive scale. THE SAME THING HAPPENS IN SOCIAL MEDIA EVERY DAY. Guess what, they’re in Social Media, too. HOW DOES THIS MANIFEST ITSELF IN SOCIAL MEDIA?

Social media companies, like Facebook, who choose to trade on the exchanges are going to have to walk a fine line between serving their members and their shareholders. Heck, Bono was a huge pre-IPO investor in Facebook but still isn’t an active participant in the social space. As a social network, LinkedIn focuses on the business of business. Basically, if Facebook sees ad networks as their golden ticket to monetization, they’re sadly mistaken.

Social media is huge and loud. It could be good: It could be umm, not so good: It could also be fun: Or not so fun: In any case, people are always talking on social media, and must talk about brands.

This last part is important, because that’s where social media is taking us. We’re acting as a sort of editorial board to our networks. That means you need to be a regular user of the social networks your audience is on. If they tell you they don’t allow social media access in the workplace, remind them that it is you , and not them, who are responsible for generating revenue for the company.

We hear all this discussion about corporations being more “human” Social media users are urging companies of all sizes to create a relatable voice for themselves. I would argue that this isn’t a “truly” social campaign since the impetus was actual paid tweets with a designated hashtag, but we’ll leave that for another discussion. Before you take to the social networks with your company stories, be sure your company can back up the story.
