Great job with this, Kevan. I have a question for you. From research to publish, how long did you spend on it? While I don’t write copy more than 1500 words max and yours is almost 2500 words, I am sure that you have spent more time on this; but I am trying to see if I am too slow or my boss is expecting miracles.
WhatsApp was founded by Jan Koum and Brian Acton.WhatsApp joined Facebook in 2014, but continues to operate as a separate app with a laser focus on building a messaging service that works fast and reliably anywhere in the world.WhatsApp started as an alternative to SMS. Whatsapp now supports sending and receiving a variety of media including text, photos, videos, documents, and location, as well as voice calls. Whatsapp messages and calls are secured with end-to-end encryption, meaning that no third party including WhatsApp can read or listen to them. Whatsapp has a customer base of 1 billion people in over 180 countries.[55][56] It is used to send personalised promotional messages to individual customers. It has plenty of advantages over SMS that includes ability to track how Message Broadcast Performs using blue tick option in Whatsapp. It allows sending messages to Do Not Disturb(DND) customers. Whatsapp is also used to send a series of bulk messages to their targeted customers using broadcast option. Companies started using this to a large extent because it is a cost effective promotional option and quick to spread a message. Still, Whatsapp doesn’t allow businesses to place ads in their app.[57]
Video advertising – This type of advertising in terms of digital/online means are advertisements that play on online videos e.g. YouTube videos. This type of marketing has seen an increase in popularity over time.[46] Online Video Advertising usually consists of three types: Pre-Roll advertisements which play before the video is watched, Mid-Roll advertisements which play during the video, or Post-Roll advertisements which play after the video is watched.[47] Post-roll advertisements were shown to have better brand recognition in relation to the other types, where-as “ad-context congruity/incongruity plays an important role in reinforcing ad memorability”.[46] Due to selective attention from viewers, there is the likelihood that the message may not be received.[48] The main advantage of video advertising is that it disrupts the viewing experience of the video and therefore there is a difficulty in attempting to avoid them. How a consumer interacts with online video advertising can come down to three stages: Pre attention, attention, and behavioural decision.[49] These online advertisements give the brand/business options and choices. These consist of length, position, adjacent video content which all directly affect the effectiveness of the produced advertisement time,[46] therefore manipulating these variables will yield different results. Length of the advertisement has shown to affect memorability where-as longer duration resulted in increased brand recognition.[46] This type of advertising, due to its nature of interruption of the viewer, it is likely that the consumer may feel as if their experience is being interrupted or invaded, creating negative perception of the brand.[46] These advertisements are also available to be shared by the viewers, adding to the attractiveness of this platform. Sharing these videos can be equated to the online version of word by mouth marketing, extending number of people reached.[50] Sharing videos creates six different outcomes: these being “pleasure, affection, inclusion, escape, relaxation, and control”.[46] As well, videos that have entertainment value are more likely to be shared, yet pleasure is the strongest motivator to pass videos on. Creating a ‘viral’ trend from mass amount of a brands advertisement can maximize the outcome of an online video advert whether it be positive or a negative outcome.

In the context of the social web, engagement means that customers and stakeholders, such as consumer advocacy groups and groups that criticize companies (e.g., lobby groups or advocacy organizations) are active participants rather than passive viewers. Social media use in a business or political context allows all consumers/citizens to express and share an opinion about a company’s products, services or business practices, or a government’s actions. Each participating customer or non-customer (or citizen) who is participating online via social media becomes part of the marketing department (or a challenge to the marketing effort), as other customers read their positive or negative comments or reviews. Getting consumers and potential consumers (or citizens) to be engaged online is fundamental to successful social media marketing.[21] With the advent of social media marketing, it has become increasingly important to gain customer interest in products and services, which can eventually be translated into buying behavior (or voting or donating behavior in a political context). New online marketing concepts of engagement and loyalty have emerged which aim to build customer participation and brand reputation.[22]
There is little question that Mr. Vaynerchuk is a master at promoting himself. But what about his clients? They tend to regard him as a colorful savant, pointing to his immense online following and his track record in spotting companies like Twitter and Facebook, both of which he invested in long before they went public. (You hear less about Yobongo, a social discovery app that he also “spotted” but that flopped.)

Vero is the latest in a long line of would-be Instagram and Facebook killers, including the likes of Ello, Mastodon, Peach, and, most recently, Sarahah. But many of those apps faded into obscurity not long after first appearing on the scene. Facebook, the $500-billion-plus company that also owns Instagram, is unlikely to cede any ground to upstart competitors any time soon.

Der Erfolg von Marketing- und Servicekommunikation hängt wesentlich davon ab, wie spezifisch sie auf den einzelnen Kunden abgestimmt ist. Jetzt erreicht die individuelle Kundenansprache eine neue Dimension: die Hyper-Individualisierung.
Der Duden steht sich in dieser Frage ein wenig selbst im Weg. “soziales Netzwerk” wird, wenn man dem Link von Thomas Touzimsky folgt, im Duden als Begriffserklärung bzw. als Synonym für das Stichwort Social Media verwendet. Die Suche nach “soziales Netzwerk” selbst ergibt wiederum als Treffer Alumninetzwerk (= Verbindung von Absolventen einer Universität), netzwerken, MySpace und Social Network. Einen eigenen Eintrag für “soziales Netzwerk” gibt es im Duden nicht. Eine Begründung, warum Social Media und Social Network groß, soziales Netzwerk aber klein geschrieben werden sollen, liefert die Redaktion nur indirekt, indem sie “sozial” mit “gemeinschaftlich” synonym setzt und damit als normales Attribut gebraucht, das nicht, wie in der Frage angesprochen, im Verein mit “Netzwerk” als stehende Wendung eine neue Bedeutung annimmt. Dies ist aber durchaus der Fall.
Thanks for sharing, Ann! Really interesting to see inside your process. I think that the research-heavy, non-fluff articles are quite valuable as they stand out from a lot of the other content that’s out there to consume. Just my 2 cents. Would love to know what you think!
Reichweite, z.B. gemessen in Follower oder Umfang des E-Mail-Adressen-Verteilers, allein sagt nichts über die Intensität der Beziehung zum Kunden aus. Die Inhalte müssen Aufmerksamkeit erzeugen und für die Angesprochenen eine Relevanz besitzen.
Was bedeutet das nun für den Besucher einer solchen Seite? Welchen Browser der Besucher verwendet, hat eher statistische Bedeutung. Mit Cookies lassen sich Internetsurfer regelrecht durchs Netz verfolgen. Man kann damit quasi ein virtuelles Bewegungsprofil erzeugen. Die IP- Adresse macht aus einem anonymen Internetnutzer immerhin einen identifizierbaren. Insbesondere wenn ein Nutzer noch andere Internetdienste parallel nutzt, die eine Registrierung bzw. Identifizierung verlangen (Amazon, Facebook, Google uvm.) darf man sicher sein, dass die erlangten Datensätze sehr individuell Personen zugeordnet werden. Mit diesen Daten wird dann Handel betrieben, um beispielsweise personalisierte Werbung zu generieren. Die Benutzerprofile werden mit der Zeit so genau, dass sich mancher Hausarzt freuen würde, so gut die Lebensgewohnheiten seiner Patienten zu kennen.
Yeah on hot or not it doesnt tell you if someone rates you “not” but if you rate them “hot” and they rate you “hot” then it will say you guys connected. Only then can they message you. Most guys are only looking for nude photos which is gross. It is very easy to say no. Or just not use the app at all like me.

Sure, it’s full of self-righteous food reviewers, but Yelp is great at finding local events, food, landmarks, and anything else you might want to do. And if you ever wanted to know the qualiry of the bathroom at Starbucks across the street, you can bet someone on Yelp reviewed it.
Ungeachtet der Ziellosigkeit der Netze können sie vermöge ihres Umfangs und ihrer Dichte eine soziale Funktion haben, z. B. bei der Bildung und gesamtgesellschaftlichen Umverteilung „sozialen Kapitals“. Beispiel: Verschwägerungen in traditionalen Gesellschaften oder modernen Oberschichten; Förderung des beruflichen Vorankommens durch „netzwerken“ (Networking).
