Learn to use the recommendation feature to give and receive recommendations for people you have worked with in the past. You should give recommendations only to people whose work you are willing to vouch for. I’ve heard of employers who take recommendations on LinkedIn almost as seriously as ones received in more traditional ways. So if anything gives you pause, you should find a gentle way to turn down a request for a recommendation.
Consumers can also offer social media inspiration, not only through the content that they share but in the way that they phrase their messages. See how your target audience writes tweets, and strive to mimic that style. Learn their habits—when they share and why—and use that as a basis for your social media marketing plan.
Three researchers at Blanquerna University, Spain, examined how adolescents interact with social media and specifically Facebook. They suggest that interactions on the website encourage representing oneself in the traditional gender constructs, which helps maintain gender stereotypes.[159] The authors noted that girls generally show more emotion in their posts and more frequently change their profile pictures, which according to some psychologists can lead to self-objectification.[160] On the other hand, the researchers found that boys prefer to portray themselves as strong, independent, and powerful.[161] For example, men often post pictures of objects and not themselves, and rarely change their profile pictures; using the pages more for entertainment and pragmatic reasons. In contrast girls generally post more images that include themselves, friends and things they have emotional ties to, which the researchers attributed that to the higher emotional intelligence of girls at a younger age. The authors sampled over 632 girls and boys from the ages of 12–16 from Spain in an effort to confirm their beliefs. The researchers concluded that masculinity is more commonly associated with a positive psychological well-being, while femininity displays less psychological well-being.[162] Furthermore, the researchers discovered that people tend not to completely conform to either stereotype, and encompass desirable parts of both. Users of Facebook generally use their profile to reflect that they are a “normal” person. Social media was found to uphold gender stereotypes both feminine and masculine. The researchers also noted that the traditional stereotypes are often upheld by boys more so than girls. The authors described how neither stereotype was entirely positive, but most people viewed masculine values as more positive.
Revealed preferences represents the extent to which social media exposes customers’ likings (e.g., “likes” and followers) and increases a firm’s financial capabilities (e.g., stock price, revenue, profit), or for non-profits, increases their donations, volunteerism rate, etc.
These questions have produced an age of anxiety in marketing the likes of which have not been seen since television and Uncle Miltie landed in living rooms decades ago, and it has given rise to a new tribe of entrepreneurs, all peddling their own forms of Xanax. There are now so many social media experts out there that some of them renounce the label.

Bo Han, a social media researcher at Texas A&M University-Commerce, finds that users are likely to experience the “social media burnout” issue.[170] Ambivalence, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization are usually the main symptoms if a user experiences social media burnout. Ambivalence refers to a user’s confusion about the benefits she can get from using a social media site. Emotional exhaustion refers to the stress a user has when using a social media site. Depersonalization refers to the emotional detachment from a social media site a user experiences. The three burnout factors can all negatively influence the user’s social media continuance. This study provides an instrument to measure the burnout a user can experience, when her social media “friends” are generating an overwhelming amount of useless information (e.g., “what I had for dinner”, “where I am now”).
In 2014, over 80% of business executives identified social media as an integral part of their business.[10] Business retailers have seen 133% increases in their revenues from social media marketing.[11]
Auch youtube setzt auf Bewegtbild, auf dem Kanal können Videos platziert werden. Der Social Network Gedanke ist hier nicht das wichtigste, deshalb kann man YouTube-Videos auch auf allen anderen Networks einfach einbinden. Allerdings solltet ihr als Unternehmen bedenken, dass ihr mit einem eigenem Videokanal auf YouTube (Unternehmens-Channel) auch gefordert seid: Die Produktionskosten für hochwertiges Videomaterial sind erst einmal etwas höher und zudem müsst ihr ständig neuen Content nachliefern. Der Upload an sich ist dann aber einfach und ihr könnt auch ganz easy die Videos auf eurer Webseite einbetten.
Too many passwords, too little time. This app creates a secure password for your various accounts and them remembers them so you don’t have to. Anyone who’s kept a pad of paper with their passwords on it needs to switch, especially if you’re about to go and download a veritable ton of apps.
Die Motivation ins heimatliche Elend freiwillig zurückzukehren, ist nachvollziehbar gering. Wer ohnehin als Krimineller seine Heimat verlassen hat, um sich so der Strafverfolgung zu entziehen, wird erst recht nicht zurückkehren wollen. In Europa und insbesondere in Deutschland lebt es sich selbst als illegaler Einwanderer deutlich besser als in der Heimat. Aus diesem Blickwinkel ist es absolut verständlich, dass Länder mit recht gut funktionierenden Sozialsystemen eine Anziehungskraft auf all jene Migranten ausüben, die in der Heimat selbst auf Mindeststandards verzichten müssen.
Amazon’s business strategy, revenue model and culture of metrics: a history I’ve used Amazon as a case study in my books for nearly 20 years now since I think all types of businesses can learn from their digital business strategy. From startups …..
“We’re talking about over 100 years of the industrial and postindustrial era in which our sole preoccupation has been accelerating consumption and production,” said David Levy, a professor at the Information School at the University of Washington. “If there is any good news in this story, it’s that what began more than 100 years ago has so intensified that more of us can stand back and say: ‘Is this really what we want? Where are the places for greater, noncommodified connection?’ ”
Was es nützen soll, wenn man Hasskommentare und Beleidigungen entfernt haben möchte, indem man die beanstandete Seite einfach ignoriert (Seite blockieren oder Seite nicht mehr abonnieren), zeugt schon quasi von bewussten Täterschutz. Doch wie beurteilt Facebook diesen Sachverhalt?
It’s often said that digital is the “most measurable medium ever”. But Google Analytics and similar will only tell you volumes of visits, not the sentiment of visitors, what they think. You need to use other forms of website user feedback tools to identify your weak points and then address them.
Here’s the graph of top 15 social networking sites in the world. As you can see Facebook is leading the pack with a huge margin in front of Youtube. Then there’s another gap of similar size to Instagram on the third place.
In practice, though, it’s very similar to Instagram, with a few important differences. Though most users seem to be posting photos, the app also lets you share text and URLs, as well as recommendations for books, TV shows, and movies.

Instagram lets users snap, edit, and share photos and 15-second videos, either publicly or within a private network of followers. It unites the most popular features of social media sites: sharing, seeing, and commenting on photos. It also lets you apply fun filters and effects to your photos, making them look high-quality and artistic.
The picture here is a bit different if we look at the brand names. WhatsApp and Messenger are in a close race for the top spot. But both of theses most popular social media apps are owned by Facebook so the competition may not be as fierce as between completely separate companies. Then there’s a lot of Asian apps and then on the sixth spot is Instagram, again owned by Facebook.
My child was lured by a complete stranger on Instagram. I am NOT a lax parent, in fact, very far from it, but you CAN NOT compete with predator. They are professionals. They can be anyone they want on a profile, and kids generally believe this stuff. Kids want more “likes” and followers. These predators can know where your kids go to school, anything they want just by keeping up with your kids posts! Please BE NOSEY! Don’t make the mistake I made, and then have to deal with what we are dealing with. This is literally every parents nightmare. It’s a hard toss-up because you want your kids to be able to contact you, but at what cost? Their lives? I know mine is LITERALLY lucky to be alive. Predators manipulate, lie, groom, tell your kids what they want to hear. If you live in a small area like we do, it wouldn’t be hard just from following posts to find out where you live, where your kids go to school. You think this could never happen to you, BUT IT CAN HAPPEN, and does happen WAY MORE THAN YOU THINK! I think I read it’s a 100% chance kids will be contacted by a predator online these days no matter how strict you are (I was very strict and always wanted to be in the know about what our kid was doing, with whom, and where) but it still wasn’t enough. Now my child is a victim, we get to go through a lengthy court battle b/c I had this person arrested, and I also have to carry the guilt of providing them with a cell phone. It’s not just the kids that have no supervision, trust me, PLEASE, if a predator wants to get at your kid, they will. This is why they are called predators because they PREY on kids. I hope that someone reads this and at least considers what I am telling you, because if one kid doesn’t have to go through what we are going through, it was worth making this comment!
In a 2014 study of CEOs and CMOs, IBM found 63% wanted social strategies which generate business metrics while only 20% of businesses worldwide actually have them. This means strategies which not only grow your company’s social footprint but link to yo… more
Using an omni-channel strategy is becoming increasingly important for enterprises who must adapt to the changing expectations of consumers who want ever-more sophisticated offerings throughout the purchasing journey. Retailers are increasingly focusing on their online presence, including online shops that operate alongside existing store-based outlets. The “endless aisle” within the retail space can lead consumers to purchase products online that fit their needs while retailers do not have to carry the inventory within the physical location of the store. Solely Internet-based retailers are also entering the market; some are establishing corresponding store-based outlets to provide personal services, professional help, and tangible experiences with their products.[20]
