What is Social Media?
Last Updated: January 2014
Social Media
Social Media Is:

• A collection of web based platforms where people share,
discover and converse.

• A mean of interaction among people in which they create,
share, exchange and comment contents among
themselves in virtual communities and networks.[1]

• Unique. The goal for a platform varies. A few examples
are: collaborative projects, blogs, social networking and
content communities. Each is geared towards a different
audience.[1]
Social Media Is Not:

• A megaphone for marketers – 10:4:1.
• Avoid becoming an INFA-bot. Make sure that you are
posting content that doesn’t mention Informatica. The
general rule for becoming an industry thought leader is:

• 10 posts about the industry that do not mention Informatica
• 4 posts that are about the industry that mention Informatica
(can be a blog post)

• 1 post that goes to a landing page
• E-mail.

• Social Media is time sensitive. The average link’s half-life
that you share on social media is three hours (Hubspot).

• 42% of people (that includes your customers and
prospects) expect a response to a social media post in an
hour or less (Convince and Convert).
Twitter

• Short concise conversations, no more than 140 characters per post,
better known as a tweet

• Most interactive tweets have links pointing to more information
• Shorten links to 20 characters using a shortening service such as
bit.ly or HootSuite
Twitter
• Twitter Feed: Your homepage once you log in. Tweets from everyone that you
follow will load in real-time.

• @ Tweets: When you want to talk directly to another user.
• ReTweets or RT: either posting exactly what someone said, or commenting
then reposting what another person says

• # (Known as a hashtag): An easy way to make sure that your tweets are
being included in a wider conversation. One way to see if a word is trending
(being talked about a lot in the social space) is to check on a third party site
such as Hashtags.org.

• Direct Message or DM: Send a Private Message to someone else. Both users
must follow each other to be able to use this function.

• Twitter Lists: A way to organize who you follow. The tweets from the people
that are on the list will show up in one place.
LinkedIn

• A place where business
professionals connect.

• Complete your profile.
• Connect with colleagues,
Informatica employees
and with those from
previous companies.

• Join industry groups. This
is where targeted
conversations are taking
place!
LinkedIn Groups

• There are over 1 MILLION groups on LinkedIn (Hubspot).
• Be careful about what you post – know your audience
and do not spam groups.

• If you start or already own a group on LinkedIn, you
MUST monitor anad manage it correctly for it to have
value for your users.

• You can highlight key messages by using the “Manager’s
Choice” feature

• Once per week, you can send out a group-wide email to
share what was most important that week.
Facebook

Facebook is a social network that is mainly used for more
personal connections between people and companies.
Facebook
• Facebook’s Timeline format ensures that posts that include
multimedia are highlighted and grab the most attention.

• Facebook’s [Graph Search] now puts more emphasis on “likes”
and negative feedback.

Google+

Google+ is a "social layer" consisting of not just a single
site, but rather an overarching "layer" which covers many
of its online properties.[1]
Google+
Definitions

• Post: Anything that you decide to share on the social network.
• Share: The ability to repost another’s content on your own
timeline for your “friends” and subscribers to discover.

• “+1”: Much like a Facebook “Like” a way to endorse a post or

• “Circle”: Allowing people to be in your network as well as
categorizing them into different groups.

same interests, skills, etc. can
collaborate with one another
on one domain.

place in a community or forum
that discusses about one
narrow topic in detail.

PDF’s.

• Can share publically or privately.
Tips:

• Title: Consider including SEO keywords in your title.

will bring you to a webpage from where the pin was
originally found.

• Repin: When you save someone else’s pin onto one of
your boards.

• Board: The place where you categorize and save items
of interest onto your profile.

• Like: When you want to endorse something. This can be
more powerful than a repin, as it is saved onto a
separate tab on your public profile.
