Category: Homebuilding| Retail/Grocery| Social Media
27 Jan 2010Thank you to all that attended our webinar presentations on Social Media. I hope you all found something useful out of the presentation. Some of the key highlights we discussed were:
- What is Social Media?
- How Do I begin in the Social Media Realm?
The Social Media world is composed of many different types of websites and networks. Below is a quick re-cap of the main platforms and sites that we discussed during our presentation:
Social Networks (Facebook):
Social Networking websites allow users to build online profiles and share information, both personally and professionally, with others that are part of the network. Facebook is the largest social network on the web with over 350 million users.
Microblogs (Twitter):
Microblogging sites contain short, immediate postings of current thoughts or information. Twitter is the most popular microblogging site and allows users to send friends 140 character messages (similar to a text message sent from a mobile phone). There is an average of 54 million users worldwide who visit Twitter each month.
Photo and Video Sharing (YouTube):
Video is the most popular content on the web. YouTube is the most popular searchable video-sharing site online as well as the 2nd largest search engine today, having more searches than both Yahoo and Bing.
Social Bookmarks (Digg and Delicious):
Social bookmarking is web-based book marking of favorite websites, videos, articles, etc. It allows users to access bookmarks from any computer and to share with others. Delicious is the most popular social bookmarking website today with over 2 million users. Digg currently has over one million users.
The steps put forward on how to begin in social media are:
- Develop a plan.
- Listen to what others are saying about you and your industry.
- Participate in the conversations out there.
- Evaluate and work to improve.
If you have any additional questions on social media or if you would like to discuss further how to move forward with a social media plan for you company please feel free to contact Stevens & Tate Marketing or check out the Social Media section on our web site.
What is Social Media – Social Bookmarking
Category: Social Media| Stevens & Tate Speaks
24 Feb 2009Social bookmarking is a web-based book marking of favorite web sites, videos, articles, etc. It allows for users to access bookmarks from any computer to share with others.
The overriding benefit of social bookmarking is having your web site(s) or content bookmarked in a way that feeds the “popularity” ranking and increases your search engine ranking position. Some of the most popular social bookmarking web sites are Digg, Reddit, Delicious and StumbleUpon.
What is Digg?
Digg is a social news web site made for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the Internet. This is done by submitting links and stories and voting and commenting on submitted links and stories. Voting stories up and down is the site’s cornerstone function, respectively called digging and burying.
Many stories are submitted to Digg every day, but only the most Dugg stories appear on the front page of the site.
What is Reddit?
Reddit is a social news web site on which users can post links to content on the Internet. Other users may then vote the posted links up or down, causing them to become more or less prominent on the Reddit home page.
What is Delicious?
Delicious is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing and discovering web bookmarks. It allows users to tag, save, manage and share web pages from a centralized source. With emphasis on the power of the community, Delicious greatly improves how people discover, remember and share on the Internet.
What is StumbleUpon?
StumbleUpon is an Internet community that allows its users to discover and rate web pages, photos and videos. It is a personalized Recommendation Engine that uses peer and social networking principles.
Web pages are presented when the user clicks the “Stumble!” button on the site’s toolbar. StumbleUpon chooses which web pages to display based on the user’s ratings on previous pages, ratings by his or her friends and by the ratings of users with similar interests.
What is Twitch?
Twitch is your source for creative happenings from all around the advertising industry. Brought to you by Stevens & Tate Marketing and Endora Digital Solutions. Find news, updates and insight on everything from print, interactive and web and social, to viral and search engine marketing. If it's happening, it's Twitch!
