How to organize your social media usage - the beginning of analytics

[wpvideo Y4dE6In9]

 

The stream of social media tools seems never ending. Every day a new update or twist of usage comes along, to the point that it becomes difficult to know where to start. To that end, I am posting a presentation as a primer on using social media. It's a great way to figure how to get the ball rolling.

This presentation was first shown at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis class in November 2009. My client was Eric Anderson, who was conducting a special class on communication. The presentation covers the following:

  • how social media formed with the internet
  • a chart of different kinds of social media
  • great starting place for building a blog or Twitter profile
  • analytics tools

Since the presentation there have been even newer developments. A follow up to this presentation is being planned shortly, including using rating and Q&A sites as well as new sources for blogs such as BizSugar, and the growing predominance of geolocation tools like Foursquare, so stay tuned for more ways to organize your engagement online!

  1. I see you're going to be talking about the application of Q&A. I live it and breathe that stuff as the co-founder of YouSaidIt. We take a unique approach to Q&A in that it is "applied" to specific purposes, be it politics, journalism, advice, etc. The key to our approach is handling internal and guest experts, so it's possible to have the community interview a guest directly, host a roundtable, invite a political candidate, etc.

    You can check it out at http://www.yousaidit.com and either contact me directly or ask me a question from there. The product at work!

    Thanks

    1. Thanks Charles for letting me know. I will definitely take a look, and give some thoughts and comparisons. I took a glance for know, but the product looks promising.
      Thanks again for taking the time to reach out.
