If you have a Facebook Page for your business, you should strongly consider running a social, interactive promotion on your Page. According to Jupiter Research: 80% of all internet users have entered at least one sweepstakes or contest within the past year, and 50% enter them at least once a month.

I want to say I am sorry for reading your messages and requests to be my friend, for me to join your networks and for you to join mine. You wanted me to share myself with you on a deeper level outside of this blog and you invited me into your inner sanctum — and I said no.

For the first time, the percentage of U.S. consumers engaged in certain social behaviors actually went down, not up. Is the bloom off the rose? Is this the long-promised social media backlash? Overall, social media usage among U.S. adults with Internet access declined 1% from 82% to 81%.

Social capital is one of the new buzz words of the decade. Basically it’s a ratio of the size of your network and how much of that network listens to you, trusts you and takes action based on what they’ve read. How much Klout you have is one way to measure it. Tara Hunt calls it “ Whuffie “ Whatever it is, the better your social capital the more likely it is your followers will take action.
