LinkedIn Social Media Social Media Management

shared by Pedro Gonçalves on 27 Feb 14 - No Cached
  • ideally you want to post content around noon or early evening. If you post a status message or share a link to an article at noon, you're more likely to catch business professionals on a lunch break who are looking to catch up their online social networks. Early evening, starting between 5 P.M. to 6 P.M. is another great time of the day to publish content to LinkedIn, because you are catching users at the end of their work day.
  • The worst time to post content or share links with your LinkedIn connections is between the hours of 10 P.M. to 6 A.M., as most business professionals are sleeping during the night time hours. These hours are considered the "dead zone" according KISSmetrics
  • The best days to post to LinkedIn are midweek from Tuesday to Thursday. Mondays are not a good day to post content you want eyeballs looking at, because most professionals are getting back into the work week grind. Fridays are not good days to publish important content either, mainly because most professionals leave the office early to start the weekend. However, Saturday and Sunday can be good days to post content, as some users want to catch up with their social networking on the weekend.

How Facebook Plans To Take Over The Internet - ReadWrite - 0 views

Facebook Internet Internet.org Web

  • Imagine people in developing countries thinking Facebook is the gateway to the Internet. They would log into Facebook to access email, Wikipedia pages, weather information, and food prices. If they wanted additional services like the ability to stream video, they can buy it with a simple click—through Facebook. That’s Mark Zuckerberg’s vision for Internet.org. 
  • “Connecting the world” is Facebook’s vision—one that can’t be achieved without the support of other organizations, including the six telecom companies it partnered with for the Internet.org initiative.  Zuckerberg said the organization is looking for an additional three to five partners to bring on board, ones that will bet big that Facebook subsidies of social services will pay off by up-selling their data plans.
  • By using Facebook as an on-ramp to the Internet, the next one billion people will use social logins not just to control various apps, but their entire Internet usage.

  • Another intriguing theory for strokes of genius coming closer to midlife is due to the "burden of knowledge": science has accumulated so much understanding about the world that there are way more bits of information for a researcher to process before she can start making her own original discoveries.

Innovation--You're Doing It Wrong: How To Put Intuition And Ideas Before Tests And Anal... - 0 views

  • Subjects were asked to report when they could explain why they favored one deck over another. It required about 50 cards before a participant began to change their behavior and favor a certain deck, and about 80 cards before they became aware of why they did it. Rationality is a relatively slow process.
  • Damasio formulated the landmark somatic marker hypothesis. This model of decision making shows how our decisions often depend upon access to what he calls somatic markers, feelings that are tagged and stored in the body and our unconscious minds. As Damasio states, “It is emotion that allows you to mark things as good, bad, or indifferent literally in the flesh.”
  • The topline reports skim the surface because we’re asking consumers and ourselves to explain primarily intuitive purchase decisions. Intuition by definition is “something that is known or understood without proof or evidence.” The primacy of rational analysis is reflected in the abysmal failure rates of these tests. Most ideas that pass, go on to fail in market--about 80% of the new products launched in the US.

  • Steve Jobs refused testing. James Dyson, and Dietrich Mateschitz did pre-test but fortunately ignored the reports that told them their ideas wouldn't work. And Apple, Dyson and Red Bull respectively, created revolutionary products and dominated entirely new categories.
  • Disruptive ideas rarely pass because they’re benchmarked against norms of average old ideas, not revolutionary new ones. For example, the Red Bull test failed to measure the emotional value of wild parties and exciting sports to come, the future keys to the brand’s success.
  • Intuitive leaps are not always right. But testing online provides an invaluable chance to gauge real behavior and apply logic after the fact, where it is most helpful.
  • When you measure actions not words, you are measuring the hidden emotions that drive responses.
  • Let Execution Inform Strategy The industry standard for testing positioning concepts involves stripping them of emotional executional elements often in the form of “white card” concepts. The goal is to isolate the single functional benefit that best drives sales. This doesn’t make sense, nor does it work. It emphasizes the rational reasons to justify purchase, not the emotional motivation to buy in the first place.

  • now they’re doing multiple things--it’s not like if you’re on Instagram you’re not on Tumblr. You use Whatsapp for this group, and you use Snapchat for these friends. It’s like a complete mess right now.
  • The thing that is really different has to do with how your life is configured in relationship to technology versus other opportunities. As an adult, you have the ability to go out and hang out with your friends when you want to. Yeah, work may get in the way; yeah, you might not feel like it; yeah, you might be too busy, but you still have a choice over your time and your schedule in a way that young people do not. Their lives are very heavily configured and structured. Their ability to get together in unstructured time with friends is extremely difficult.
  • To them Facebook is everyone they ever knew, and Twitter is something they've locked down to just a handful of people they care about--which is often the opposite of how adults use them.

  • The story with marketing and young people is the story with marketing and adults. When people are looking for information, they're much more open to advertising than when they're trying to hang out with their friends and you're getting in their way. Branding and being recognized as a brand is a lot about being an authentic participant in those spaces. Young people are totally aware of when a company is making a YouTube video just to sell to them. They're not dumb, they totally get this. The thing is, it's funny when they're on YouTube and seeking it out, it's not funny when it's getting in the way of talking with their friends.
  • What's interesting is that as a lot of young people are running away from their parents into a variety of apps, they're also running away from marketers. That will be an interesting battleground in the next couple of years, because that creates monetization issues for the app creators.
