3 Types of Social Media Measurements

Alright, so in my previous post, I tried to setup a basic framework for thinking about program measurement, much of which I argued should start with the organization of three big data piles, pulled from: 1) Your platform analytics; 2) Your brand monitoring metrics; and 3) Your competitive benchmarks. Now, assuming you can wrap your [...]

Understanding the Big and Small of Social Media Measurement

So it seems like a lot of people still get tripped up when it comes to social media measurement, and really, in fairness, there’s good cause when you consider just how many different platforms, metrics and services makeup the average program. Frankly, it’s a friggin mess, but if you don’t understand how smaller (micro) measures [...]

On Domain vs Off Domain Strategies

So I’ve noticed a strange sort of tug-o-war taking shape among those managing social media programs and without going into all the details here, I’ll just say the tugging typically gets down to this question: where should you put your time, energy and money?

Defining Social Media ‘Expertise’

I joked (mostly) about social media expert-itis in a previous post, but if you really had to try and dig into what makes someone a “social media expert,” it’s really not that difficult of a thing to deconstruct, I mean, if you just focus on direct experiences. So…uh…that’s what I did. Well, it’s a start [...]

Voce Sponsoring WordCamp SF

WordCamp SF approaches this Saturday, May 30th, and I’m fired up to say, for the first time, Voce’s stepping in as a sponsor. For a few years now, we’ve “unofficially” been big believers and supporters of the WordPress organization, its platforms and, well, its larger open source community.

Corporate Social Media Must Keep SEC in Mind

The WSJ just posted this piece today on clients Intel and eBay, but with a focus on eBay and the story behind its use of Twitter for corporate news. This was actually something I pointed to here a few weeks ago that kicked-up quite a bit of discussion (check out “How to Tweet Material News”). [...]

Forrester Says Social Media Tops Interactive Spending

So an upcoming Forrester report (for release, I’m told, later this spring) indicates growth in social media budgets will outpace all other forms of interactive marketing. Now don’t get me wrong, these numbers are all fine and good, but here’s the problem with the data: the dollars for social media programs are coming from all [...]
