The (Lack Of) Clarity In Facebook's New 20 Percent Text Rule - 1 views

  • The rule does NOT apply to standard images you upload to your page, but only images you promote in the newsfeed Thumbnail images for videos or links that you promote in the newsfeed as ads are subject to the 20% rule As of this week, announced in a tiny update on Facebook’s Developer Blog, the rule applies to application icons (which includes timeline tab images too) ***UPDATE***: Facebook reps have indicated that the text rule does NOT apply to the thumbnail icons, but they still recommend using images with little to no text.
  • Product shots (i.e. real life photos of a product) do not count against the rule. This means name tags, stop signs, text on the actual product, etc. – that’s all good to go and does not count towards your 20% text allotment “Tune-in” images for TV shows or movies have leeway as the title of the show/feature, the tune-in info, and the names of the actors and actresses involved do NOT count towards the 20%

Put Cloud CRM to Work | PCWorld Business Center - 0 views

  • "Four out of five U.S. adults are involved in a social network," Band adds. The result: Businesses are increasingly trying to follow their customers' social networking updates. It's a logical extension of CRM, which is designed to help businesses broaden their understanding of customers' interests, needs, and concerns. Many business relationships today begin on the Internet, as customers increasingly find businesses from Google searches, Facebook fan pages, and Website visits, adds Brent Leary, a CRM and small-business technology analyst. So it makes perfect sense to track and build those relationships using cloud CRM services, especially if they offer social network monitoring.

  • Facebook told me that this is a tool meant for businesses, not individuals. The company doesn’t encourage users to convert their profiles to Pages because content doesn’t move over, only connections.
  • Here is what converting a page actually means, in terms of user content:Only your profile photo transfers, no other profile photos or intricate profile information carries over.Any uploaded photos, wall posts, comments and likes disappear.Facebook messages disappear.Any applications linked to a Facebook account lose that connection.The username you have on your profile may or may not transfer over. In my case, it didn’t, and now http://www.facebook.com/christina.warren serves up a big fat, not found page, rather than my profile. The kicker? The name has been “used” so I can’t claim it again.The resulting account is known as a Business Account and can only be used to create and manage pages, not to engage in personal contact. This means that even if you do create a brand new Facebook profile (more on that later), you have to consistently switch between the two accounts for different tasks.

In their new report, the researchers explain, “Agile for Marketing (A4M) drives long-term marketing strategies with short-term, customer-focused iterative projects that improve responsiveness and relevance. It allows for faster creative, more testing, smarter improvements and better results.”
  • 63% of marketing leaders indicate agility as a high priority, but only 40% rate themselves as agile.
  • The CMOs we spoke with needed a solution that would help them orient marketing activities around the constant change in the marketplace—a solution that allows them to be more dynamic and flexible in their operations, more productive, and more collaborative and integrated in their work product.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Where confusion or inconsistency sets in is around Agile, the methodology, and the use of it in marketing. Agile helps reinforce a culture of agility by providing structure that drives marketers to be iterative, flexible, customer-centered, and focused on priorities of high-value. Many CMOs are unfamiliar with the Agile Methodology used in software development and its application to marketing. We are seeing adoption grow, but it’s still a new concept in marketing.
  • As CMOs become more and more responsible for growth, they have an unprecedented need for speed and flexibility.
  • Marketers who wait to deliver a big splash are not taking advantage of real-time ways to infuse market feedback into the development process.
