We've committed many social media mistakes that have cost us reach, engagement, fans, and customers! Here's what we've learned and how you can avoid them.

Let’s get started…

Learn from These 10 Social Media Mistakes We’ve Made

Here’s a quick overview of the social media mistakes we’ve been making until recently:

1. Focusing on quantity over quality
2. Being on all social media platforms
3. Posting the same content across platforms
4. Using only landscape images and videos
5. Sharing only our own content
6. Not curating user-generated content
7. Not uploading videos to social media platforms
8. Not targeting specific audience for our content
9. Not boosting the right posts
10. Not replying to questions on social (fast enough)

Terrific Twitter resource.

Great Post!

"Twitter is chaos" -- a very good point.  And that's why tools to cut through the clutter are so essential.  this is really useful for writers and publishers who consider Twitter a key to their publishing and marketing efforts.

The Ultimate Twitter Toolbox: 80 Twitter Tools: #Content_Curation_Magazine

This reminded me of what someone said about the difference between Facebook and Twitter (but regret I can't remember who):

Facebook is the place to go to connect with the people you went to schools with.

Twitter is the place to go to connect with the people you WISHED you had gone to school with.

It works for me!

Just over a week ago, I attended a great conference organized by Ray Wang CEO of Constellation Research - I tweeted almost 2000 times - he'd gamified the tweeting and set up a leaderboard, so it raised my competitive instincts. it was interesting to see for myself what would cause me to send out so many tweets - it was a fascinating conference - and you scored more points with photos, so during the conference I learned to illustrate almost every tweet with photos. The psychology of twitter is still evolving.... as I am finding out myself as I learn to interact with this new medium

Et vous, où vous situez-vous ?

From the paper abstract:  "Social media such as microblogs have become so pervasive such that it is now possible to use them as sensors for real-world events and memes.

While much recent research has focused on developing automatic methods for filtering and summarizing these data streams, we explore a different trend called social curation.

In contrast to automatic methods, social curation is characterized as a human-in-the-loop and sometimes crowd-sourced mechanism for exploiting social media as sensors."

The paper attempts to analyze curated microblog data and to understand the main reasons why people "participate in this laborious curation process".

It also looks at "new ways in which information retrieval and machine learning technologies can be used to assist curators" and it also suggests "a novel method based on a learning-to-rank framework that increases the curator's productivity and breadth of perspective by suggests which novel microblogs should be added to the curated content."

The paper contains valuable information for anyone interested in having more statistical data about social curation activities and patterns on Twitter, the use of lists and the typical reasons why individuals want to do this. 

Interesting. 7/10

22 maneras efectivas de aprovechar  Twitter en el Salón de clases.

Twitter and Bloom's! I'm very very happy right now.

Try to use Twitter in class #motivation #newways #challenge

With Twitter announcing staff lay-offs today I thought this was quite an apt article.

I agree with you,but I wish it was easy. I spent an entire semester encouraging students to take ownership in class. Things are changing but this change is gradual. However, it is a learning experience for me.http://goo.gl/TO8FCc

Basic tips for beginning 'Tweeters'!

Happy Friends is a new free tool created by Dave Winer which allows you to closely follow those Twitter accounts for which you don't want to miss a beat. 

Happy Friends makes it easy for you to add (but not to delete for now) any Twitter account you want and to easily expand it to see all of its most recent tweets. 

The result is a simple interface which lists your favorite Twitter sources and allows you to check rapidly what each one of them has posted. 

What may escape anyone not reading this, is that by clicking on any of the headlines displayed inside Happy Friends you get to see the full Twitter card display, just as it was intended to be seen on Twitter with integrated images and video. 

Happy Friends fulfils for me a true need, as with Twitter typical readers and tools (including lists) it is very difficult to track specific sources postings without doing a few click acrobatics. 

I hope that in one of the upcoming versions, the formatting of the tweets will also be improved as to make it easier for the eye to rapidly scan the information presented. The twitter grey icons on the left do to little to quiet down the noise created by all the the tweet texts and links appearing on the Happy Friends page. Vertical spacing between items and separating text from links would significantly improve legibility and rapid eye-scanning of the content.

Very useful.

Free to use.

A super Twitter utility service for aggregating your favourite Twitter resources,

#socmed

#twitter

add your insight...

Hoping this facility will soon be available to use on aggregators other than Tweetdeck (which I don't use).  Looks useful, particularly for themed storytelling. #socmed #curation

I realize this is old news but it is still relevant and new to a large number of teachers and pre-service students.

I would also recommend folks to follow Robin Good's scoop.it site for a vast array of curation tools and resources. 

Ditto is a FREE, automated weekly backup of Twitter, Facebook and Gmail with integrated search capabilities.

To curate, means also ability to archive, preserve and safely store the data/information/content available in your newsradar/collection/lineup. As a matter of fact, if you decided to follow-up on an academic pursuit of your data-curation interests, you would be immediately confronted with the learning of the best methodologies, tools and workflows utilized to preserve and archive digital data.

In addition, given the times we are in, and who controls our data, you can never know what happens next, and whether you are always going to be able to access both your account and the data that's in it.

For these reasons I think it is relevant for anyone involved in professionally managing content / data, such as a content curator does, to have the ability to easily and automatically backup all of his Twitter / Facebook data as well as his own Gmail.

With Ditto, you can export all of your backed up data from Facebook, Twitter or Gmail, into a handy PDF file.

Free to use. (max 3GB of archive space can be used - if you leave out your Gmail, that's plenty of space.)
