Facebook to replace “become a fan” with “like”

Posted by admin at March 31, 2010 | Category Uncategorized

Instead of asking users to become a fan of Cheryl Cole, Lady Gaga or what ever you like to follow, Facebook will let social networkers click on the “like” button in the future instead.

According to the site’s number crunchers, Facebook users already click “like” on comments, photos, status updates, etc nearly twice as much as they click “become a fan”.

They reckon changing the button will make people more comfortable with linking up to brands.

Facebook also makes money from the ads used by businesses to attract social networkers to their pages, with the average user currently becoming a fan of four pages every month.

Sony generates £1million in social media sales

Posted by admin at March 8, 2010 | Category Uncategorized

Sony Vaio’s Twitter account has generated over £1 million in sales, people working in website marketing may be interested to know.

Speaking at the Social Media for Brand Building event, hosted by Marketing Week on February 25th, Sony head of corporate communications Nick Sharples said the company sees Twitter as a viable sales platform as well as a tool to amplify PR activity, New Media Age reports.

The technology giant launched a website promotion campaign for a special edition of its Cyber-shot camera range last year and used social media to extend PR coverage over nine months, resulting in over £12.5 million in revenue.

However, while speakers from brands including Diageo and MyDeco agreed that social media delivers results, at last week’s event, held in London, many insisted it must always be used alongside more traditional channels.

Further, one social media commentator has suggested that brands and businesses that hope to profit from their social media campaigns may have the wrong idea.

SEO specialist Katy Woodrow Hill said that while “product focused brands” may look to use social media as a sales channel, for most brands it is a communication channel.

“For some people social media marketing has nothing to do with making money,” Ms Woodrow Hill explained.

“For them it’s about saving money and reducing costs elsewhere by using it as a customer services feed rather than a sales feed.”

But she added that it was dangerous for brands to venture into social media thinking that they are just going to make money.

“You have to work with your consumers, your advocates and those that don’t like you in order to develop a social media personality.”

Social Networking is THE new media!

Posted by admin at March 1, 2010 | Category Uncategorized

There has been a great shift from traditional news platforms to online and mobile news sources in the last couple of years.

Having your dog bring you the freshly delivered copy of the latest newspaper headlines seems like a memory from the past in today’s world where social networks such as Twitter can provide instant updates in the event of breaking news.

The wider availability of nearly instantaneous micro newsfeeds has changed the very notion of our news consumption. Younger generations and technological savvy individuals are relying on news sources that are delivered in the form of community-sourced information. These “news sources” are often supplied in the form of friends status updates, blogs, trending topics and retweeted news headlines.

Consumers are also branching out from the one newspaper subscription model to become better informed about current events.

According to a report published by Pew Internet on March 1, 92 percent of Americans use multiple platforms to get their news during a normal day. Only seven percent turn to one single media platform to read their news.

In the digital era, humans have turned to news platforms that let them customize information according to their personal tastes. Twenty-eight percent of internet users have created a personalized homepage that delivers news and information about topics that interest them.

They also expect to be able to access news headlines from their mobile phones when they are away from their computer. More than 30 percent of mobile phone owners use their device to read news headlines.

“In this new multi-platform media environment, people’s relationship to news is becoming portable, personalized, and participatory,” explained Pew Internet.

The study shows that people are becoming increasingly interested in participating in the news. 37 percent of internet users surveyed said they had either contributed to the creation of news, posted a comment about current events or helped spread news headlines via social media sites.

“To a great extent, people’s experience of news, especially on the internet, is becoming a shared social experience as people swap links in emails, post news stories on their social networking site feeds, highlight news stories in their Tweets, and haggle over the meaning of events in discussion threads. For instance, more than 8 in 10 online news consumers get or share links in emails,” said Pew Internet.

2,259 US-based respondents took part in the survey from December 28, 2009 to January 19, 2010.
