"When it comes to B2B businesses and corporate YouTube pages-and why you might want to optimize them to take full advantage of all SEO benefits-consider this: YouTube is the second largest search engine on the Internet. The only larger search engine (today anyway), is The Google, YouTube's parent company. In fact, according to Alexa and SimilarWeb, YouTube attracts the third highest amount of traffic of all websites in the world."

"Legitimate research has determined that student evaluations of professors are biased, and so their "customer ratings" aren't fair. Legitimate research also indicates that while professorial popularity and effectiveness do overlap, one does not immediately signify or correlate with the other. Further, most students don't actually view themselves as customers, because they know how education works and actually want to get one."

"In the beginning, there is basically no difference between making a choice that is 1% better or 1% worse. (In other words, it won't impact you very much today.) But as time goes on, these small improvements or declines compound and you suddenly find a very big gap between people who make slightly better decisions on a daily basis and those who don't. This is why small choices ("I'll take a burger and fries") don't make much of a difference at the time, but add up over the long-term."

"As it seems that social media will only play a bigger role in future research of all disciplines, I took to doing my own research on how Facebook posts, tweets, YouTube videos, etc. should be cited in academic publications."

"I think the best way to approach this would be to break it down by social media network and the observations/viewpoints I've gathered over the years."

"When I first began tweeting, I came up with the following "formula" to help guide my work. Identify>Engage>Leverage This approach was (as it is today) pretty simple. If I could find the people I was interested in following, I could engage with them (e.g., retweet their posts, promote their blogs, share their professional achievements, etc.) and then "leverage" these connections; this "leveraging" process would include followers responding to my "Questions of the Week," retweeting my posts, and/or reaching out to me directly referencing my handle in their tweets.) The challenge, of course, is actually finding these "influencers" and in this post I'll share some research approaches that have worked for me."

"The Butler County Sheriff's page was updated Tuesday night with a mugshot of Marcum looking red-faced and apparently in tears. The department wrote that Marcum "will be off Facebook temporarily because there is no social media access in the Butler County Jail. He's turned himself in.""

"Magic. Effortless "networking" for geeks like me. (I put the word in quotes, because I still find it vaguely awkward, despite loving it), I write about what interests me for my own later use, and others find me based on those interests."

"Effective immediately, the single sign-on and gradebook syncing capabilities between the two companies are available for all current and prospective Canvas users. This is especially important for the many faculty who would like to enjoy the benefits of OER but have not had adequate tools and services to support this. With panOpen, not only can faculty make use of the platform tools, but also of panOpen's editors and instructional designers to help ensure that both faculty and students have the best possible experience with open content."
