I like to tweet and face late and in weekends. Maybe I should do it more? A post from ReadWriteWeb by John Paul Titlow has the whole story . Here is a part: ...   Zarrella, who works for  HubSpot  and has authored such delightfully nerdy reports as "The Science of ReTweets", recently  hosted a webinar titled "The Science of Timing"  that took a close look at how the timing of social media activity impacts its effectiveness. The hugely popular webinar had a number of interesting takeaways, some of which were surpsing. For example: Tweeting later in the day and later in the week results in more retweets. The click-through-rate on tweeted links appears to spike in the late morning and then again around 5pm. The click-through rate on links tends to decline as more links are tweeted per hour. After about six links per hour, click-throughs essentially drop off. Still, tweeting more frequently leads to more followers, but Facebook is a different story: Too ...

This is a great receipe for how to create twitter list for research of streaming music. But it can be applied to whatever domain you're interested in. A post from ReadWriteWeb by Marshall Kirkpatrick has the whole story . Here is a part: Step 1  - I knew where the list of Rdio staff members was, because I had asked my darling virtual assistants at FancyHands  by email to find it for me a few weeks ago. So tonight I sent that link to them as an example and asked them to find similar lists of staff members curated by other companies in the space. I asked for Pandora, Spotify and Mog. I remembered Grooveshark later. Becky from Fancyhands sent me back great links for lists to Pandora and Spotify right away. The list she sent from Mog wasn't so great but no one appeared to have made a list of Mog employees yet. Step 2  - I made a list of Mog employees by searching for them on  LinkedIn . Then I trained the point-and-click database creation tool  Needlebase ...

I've been using TweetDeck for years. It's good to give a me control on various accounts. But it easy to be inpractical with too many columns. I've just set up SproutSocial Business ed. for 30 free days to see if could be of help. A post from Social Media Examiner by Drew Neisser the whole story . Here is a part: #4: You’re wondering how you’re doing compared to others TweetDeck is like a nifty broadcast center, making it easy to send messages to all your social channels. But among its many shortcomings is its inability to  assess how your social program is performing relative to current best practices . This is one of the areas in which SproutSocial shines, providing scores for both engagement and influence right on your dashboard. Better yet, by following up with items in your inbox, you can  watch your engagement numbers improve , making you even more confident that your social media time is well spent. The SproutSocial dashboard provides a score for both engagem...

Social Media network twitter is releasing impressive numbers. Twitter is currently our best marketing channel. When we turn it off, the visits on our web sites immediately goes down.

Here is a part:  Twitter is  celebrating its fifth birthday  and to commemorate the occasion, is  revealing  a number of stats showing its growth over the past five years. It took 3 years, 2 months and 1 day from the first Tweet to get to the billionth Tweet. In a given week, users send a billion Tweets.

Twitter es todo un fenómeno social del momento. Desde para transmitir minuto a minuto las revueltas árabes, hasta para ver una foto de una actriz justo antes de empezar un rodaje, subida por ella misma o por el director de la película. Es una twitterRevolución, sin duda. Y España, no sólo no se escapa, sino que es líder europeo en el uso de Twitter, con más de 2 millones de usuarios. Aquí os dejo un extracto de este interesante artículo de El País: Los blogueros asisten a un congreso en Burgos  y saturan Twitter contando lo que comen, ven y escuchan, mientras redistribuyen los últimos titulares sobre Libia y Gadafi de la cadena  Al Jazeera  . Por la noche se comenta el estreno de  Hijos de papá  en Cuatro  . La noticia en otros webs webs en español en otros idiomas Muestra quizá mejor que ninguna otra red social las relaciones desnudas, visibles como alambres Usuarios y medios están viendo que es un polvorín donde se mezcla lo público y privado, ve...

Flipboard tries to break the "siloing" of content, by mashing them up in intelligent way. In fact, it is one of three reasons I currently use my iPad dayli. A post from O'Reilly Radar - Insight, analysis, and research about emerging by Jenn Webb has the whole story . Here is a part: Today's  Flipboard update  sports increased speed, an improved design layout, a partnership with Instagram , and the ability for users to search across several social platforms, including Flickr, Twitter and Facebook. The shiny new features are  drawing  plenty of attention , but the really cool thing here — and what likely will fuel Flipboard's success — is the platform's ability to seamlessly present the newly integrated social content without overly focusing on the original source or platform. In a recent interview,  Craig Mod , designer and publisher at Flipboard, stressed the importance of putting the content first. By making content the focus of the presentation, user...

Interesting post by huffingtonpost.com giving us some pieces of advice regarding 11 things not to ever tweet ;) Here's a part of the story: Think before you tweet. Twitter is a powerful communication tool used by the likes of  protesters ,  journalists ,  astronauts  and public officials. But tweeters should take caution: the microblogging service is also frequented by  employers , insurance companies ,  law enforcement agents , even  criminals . And as search engines like  Google  and  Bing take steps to further integrate Twitter updates into query results, it's more important than ever to watch what you tweet. Given the platform's simplicity and 140-character limit, it can be tempting to dash off Twitter updates without pausing to consider the impact they can have. Experts agree that users should take a moment before tweeting. Especially if your tweets are public, that moment of reconsideration could save you your job, y...
