IFTTT stands for If This Then That. It’s a tool that actually lets you build your very own automated actions, called “recipes,” so that you don’t have to do them yourself. For example, if you want all of your Instagram photos automatically saved to a public folder of your Dropbox account, you can do that by building a recipe with IFTTT so you never have do it manually.

Since social media marketing first came to be, strategists and markets have been getting smarter and more careful with the way they go about collecting information and distributing advertisements. With the presence of data collecting companies, there is no longer a need to target specific audiences. This can be seen as a large ethical gray area. For many users, this is a breach of privacy, but there are no laws that prevent these companies from using the information provided on their websites. Companies like Equifax, Inc., TransUnion Corp, and LexisNexis Group thrive on collecting and sharing personal information of social media users.[113] In 2012, Facebook purchased information from 70 million households from a third party company called Datalogix. Facebook later revealed that they purchased the information in order to create a more efficient advertising service.[114]
My eldest would chat to her friends every minute of every evening in parallel to life at home if allowed. They use What’s App. Do you know how well managed this app is? Her other favorite site is Pinterest. I spoke to her and explained why I don’t want her to use Tumblr or Facebook but one of the reasons I gave for not having a Facebook account was that she sees her friends at school every day, it’s best for family overseas or people you don’t see very often. She accepted that but the same could apply to a What’s App. I don’t think I would stop her using What’s App cos she frequently shares the exchanges she has with friends with me and it’s useful for communicating when they’re doing homework, but sometimes I feel she is living her life in several alternate realities and sharing every minute of her friends’ angst, fangirl hysteria and with some friends their loneliness. At the weekend I often take her iPod Touch off her and she participates fully in family life – still, only just a teenager!

Social media is also an important source of news. According to ‘Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2013’, social media are one of the most important ways for people find news online (the others being traditional brands, search engines and news aggregators).[72] The report suggested that in the United Kingdom, trust in news which comes from social media sources is low, compared to news from other sources (e.g. online news from traditional broadcaster or online news from national newspapers). People who aged at 24–35 trust social media most, whereas trust declined with the increase of age.
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.
Digital marketing and its associated channels are important – but not to the exclusion of all else. It’s not enough to just know your customers; you must know them better than anybody else so you can communicate with them where, when and how they are most receptive to your message. To do that, you need a consolidated view of customer preferences and expectations across all channels – Web, social media, mobile, direct mail, point of sale, etc. Marketers can use this information to create and anticipate consistent, coordinated customer experiences that will move customers along in the buying cycle. The deeper your insight into customer behavior and preferences, the more likely you are to engage them in lucrative interactions.
But wait… you soon realize their experience with your platform is not optimal; they are so far away from your operational region that the latency is terrible, and you obviously don’t want them to quit. If only there was an easy way of extending your global reach… but there is!
This is quite the article. You chalked in full of value, Kevan. Nice job! @PlanPromotePros finds that the research and development of a content marketing plan is time intensive, especially for someone who isn’t a marketing wiz. Planning each year is one of the best ways to take bite-sized chunks into marketing strategies, but rarely will small businesses take the time or know the steps. This post should be used as a rule of thumb each year at the planning retreat. Well done!
There’s also a good chance that, out of all the apps on your phone, you use Facebook’s the most. The News Feed is the most coveted avenue for publishers, and many news organizations are part of Facebook’s Instant Articles program, so some of their stories are hosted directly inside the Facebook app.
MeetMe: Chat and Meet New People. The name says it all. Although not marketed as a dating app, MeetMe does have a “Match” feature whereby users can “secretly admire” others, and its large user base means fast-paced communication and guaranteed attention.
