Why Twitter? Everyday, millions of users create, share and discover ideas on Twitter Users also find great value in connecting with businesses of all kinds on Twitter to: Share their experiences, both good and not so good Provide feedback on recent events or launches Discuss product ideas Learn about exclusive deals or offers Get customer service To read more, go to business.twitter.com/twitter101/cases
A few Twitter success stories Twitter users follow Dell Outlet for exclusive deals on electronics—and have driven more than $3M in sales through Twitter Ice cream eaters in New York give local chain Tasti-D-Lite marketing feedback via Twitter—and sometimes get surprise dessert deliveries Coffee drinkers in Houston choose CoffeeGroundz for the personal relationships they’ve built on Twitter—and the shop’s Twitter-based ordering To read more, go to business.twitter.com/twitter101/cases
How does it work? Twitter lets you write and read messages of up to 140 characters, or the very length of this sentence, including all punctuation and spaces.  The messages (also known as tweets) are public, and you decide which accounts you want to receive messages from Twitter works equally well from your desktop or mobile phone To read more, go to business.twitter.com/twitter101/cases
Before you dive in If you want to spend time listening first, you don’t need an account to search at search.twitter.com Try searching for your company and a few key topics in your field Listening can help you get a sense of how you want to engage on Twitter To read more, go to business.twitter.com/twitter101/cases
Getting started is easy Signing up for an account takes just a few minutes To help people recognize and trust your account, fill out your profile completely and include a picture To read more, go to business.twitter.com/twitter101/cases
Follow relevant accounts Following somebody means you’ve subscribed to their tweets  To find people talking about your company or topics in your field, use search.twitter.com  When you find a good candidate, look under their picture for the Follow button You can also choose to interact without following an account, just send them a tweet To read more, go to business.twitter.com/twitter101/cases
Finding People
Post tweets People like tips, links to interesting stories and blogposts (they don’t have to be about your company), exclusive deals and a good sense of humor. People like the human touch and will appreciate posts with your thoughts and experiences more than you think They also like it when you say hi, respond to their questions, comments, praise, complaints and jokes To read more, go to business.twitter.com/twitter101/cases
Key terms… To follow somebody is to subscribe to their messages A tweet is an individual message A DM or direct message is a private message on Twitter RT or retweet is to repost a valuable message from somebody else on Twitter and give them credit Trending topics are the most-discussed terms on Twitter at any given moment To read more, go to business.twitter.com/twitter101/cases
…and some special lingo @username is a public message to or about an individual on Twitter A hashtag—the # symbol followed by a term and included in tweets—is a way of categorizing all the posts on a topic Shortened URLs. To fit links into the short messages, Twitter shrinks some URLs down automatically To read more, go to business.twitter.com/101/learning
Best practices Build relationships on Twitter Listen for comments about you Respond to comments and queries Ask questions Post links to things people would find interesting Retweet messages you would like to share Use a friendly, casual tone Don’t spam people To read more, go to business.twitter.com/twitter101/cases
Best practices Leverage the real-time nature of Twitter Ask questions, float ideas, solicit feedback – and expect fast feedback most of the time If you’ve launched a product, new store or new campaign, search Twitter for comments Respond to customer service issues quickly Engage in discussion on a tricky public issue your company is dealing with To read more, go to business.twitter.com/twitter101/cases
Best practices Measure the value of Twitter Before setting up measurement tools, focus on the quality of your engagement: do a gut-check of how things are going Try to analyze the quality of feedback and topics of discussion, you may find this changing over time Keep a tally of questions answered, customer problems resolved and positive exchanges held When offering deals on Twitter, use a unique coupon code or separate landing page To read more, go to business.twitter.com/twitter101/cases
Twitter
Tools to be more effective Bit.ly – a link shortener that also provides analytics  Tweetdeck – a desktop Twitter & Facebook client  Listorious, Wefollow, Twellow – directories of Twitter users Twubs – Twitter groups built around hashtags
FLICKR
Flickr Do’s Use your company name or website address as your username Use your Flickr profile to highlight your company, products or services Upload quality photos of things related to your business Write appropriate text for each photo and include a link back to an appropriate web page Participate in the community Comment and favorite photos Join groups and participate in conversations http://www.smallbusinesssem.com/articles/marketing-on-flickr/
Flickr Don’ts Stuff linked keywords into your photo descriptions, comments on other people’s photos, etc. Plaster your URL on the photos themselves Post ads or spam to groups Violate Flickr TOS by blatantly trying to exploit for commercial purposes
FINAL THOUGHTS
It’s a marathon, not a sprint. http://www.flickr.com/photos/oskarn/125630791/
Don’t spread  yourself  too thin. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lynac/373285375/
What’s your plan? It’s  OK to start small.

Editor's Notes

  1. Why is content king?Starts a conversationCreates links and interactions (likes, comments, etc.)Creates PageRankCreatesEdgeRankLeads to greater visibilityPOSITIVE FEEDBACK CYCLE
  2. 500 million users – 3rd largest country in the worldLots of privacy issues – need to be awareEver-changing TOS/rules (sweepstakes rules, recent landing page debacle)55-65 year old females are the fastest growing segment on Facebook (Socialnomics, 2009)Passed Yahoo! for the #1 display advertiser on the web by impressions served (comScore, May 2010)Passed Google for the number of visits per week (Experian Hitwise, May 2010)
  3. The secret to content on Facebook is getting into the Top News section of the user page.
  4. Multiply these factors for each Edge then add the Edge scores up and you have an Object’s EdgeRank. And the higher that is, the more likely your Object is to appear in the user’s feed. It’s worth pointing out that the act of creating an Object is also considered an Edge, which is what allows Objects to show up in your friends’ feeds before anyone has interacted with them.In other, hopefully less confusing words, an Object is more likely to show up in your News Feed if people you know have been interacting with it recently. That really isn’t particularly surprising. Neither is the resulting message to developers: if you want your posts to show up in News Feed, make sure people will actually want to interact with them.Read more: http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/22/facebook-edgerank/#ixzz0oXZEd3dX
