You and your friend, Lee are huge Star Wars fans. Even though you never plan to do so, you two tend to geek out about Darth Vader and X-Wing fighters every time you meet. Star Wars is the Social Object. Example 3. Apple release iPhone 4GS. You line up to buy it and then you take photos of it to share whith your friends. People It’s the social object. Example 4. You’ve been married for less than a year, and already your first child is born. In the last year, you and your spouse have acquired three beautiful new Social Objects: The marriage, the firstborn, and your own new family. It’s what life’s all about

- How easy is it to share your content? Seems like an obvious question, but sending people a word document press release is not the most sharable. When you’re trying to get to influencers, make sure you make your message and content easy for them to pass it along. The best buzzword of the last couple of months: Frictionless Sharing.Photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/882193732/sizes/l/in/photostream/
- I shared a graphic of social posting within Facebook. I tracked what happened to it over the few weeks that followed
- A few hours after I shared it, 4 other friends shared it straight away
- Within a few hours, their friends had also started sharing it.
- 3 weeks later, it had reached 656 shares. This content was set a spublic so it was visible and sharable by many
- The only clue as to where the content came from was on the graphic itself. I did a search for Breaking Copy to find the original post.http://www.breakingcopy.com/social-media-flowchart-status
- Once the graphic had gone round the friend nework, it turned up being shared by a couple of brand pages
- On a normal day, the Facebook page for NYC Pride, the organization that puts on gay and lesbian pride events in New York, gets about 10 new fans. A typical NYC Pride wall post gets fewer than 50 comments, and very few posts get any “reshares” (that’s when a Facebook user decides to broadcast one of NYC Pride’s posts to his full network). But on Monday, a world-changing news story forever altered NYC Pride’s social media presence: Kim Kardashian got divorced. A short time later, Chris Frederick, managing director of Heritage of Pride (NYC Pride’s parent group), spotted an image on Facebook that summed up the gay rights message in Kardashian’s divorce, he posted it on the page.By Thursday morning, the post had received nearly 18,000 Likes, about 2,400 comments, and—most significantly—almost 14,000 shares. According to All Facebook, a site that keeps track of Facebook fan pages, NYC Pride saw a huge spike in Facebook fans—over the course of two days, it earned 1,000 new followers. Frederick told me that he doesn’t know who created the image—he doesn’t remember which of his friends posted it—but that it proved more effective than anything else the group has ever posted.Source:http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2011/11/facebook_images_why_your_feed_is_crammed_with_visual_gags.single.html#pagebreak_anchor_2

But the campaign that put Old Spice into a different viral league, "Responses," broke speed records online. It flew passed 35 million views in one week. After that, the campaign ran hot for about six months, charging through 500,000-plus views each week. Today, the campaign brings home about 200,000 views per week. It spiked to 400,000 views with Old Spice's new Fabio campaign, a phenomenon called viral reactivation, but fell back to 200,000 weekly views afterwards. At this rate, "Responses" will hit 100 million views in about two years.

- Affinity =You’ve probably seen this in action. Spy on an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, snoop on their profile and suddenly they’re in your news feed all the timeEdge Weight = Photos are more important than someone “liking” a business profile, etc.The three types of content which are widely understood to have the highest Edge Weight are Videos, Photos, and Links. Knowing that these are have the heaviest weighting should alter the way you communicate using Facebook. You should try and incorporate objects with high weight scores into any announcements that you want to reach as many of your followers as possible .Recency = For example, regardless of how much the EdgeRank is based on Affinity and Weight, if it’s old news it becomes less likely to appear. This is different to Twitter which relies only on chronological order.http://econsultancy.com/us/blog/7885-edgerank-the-most-important-algorithm-you-ve-never-heard-of

While each brand is different, and its fans will respond to different things, there are some common threads that companies can keep in mind when planning social media posts and status updates.Digital marketing agency Web Liquid analyzed 16 brands and more than 1,500 brand posts from March to May 2011 to see which Facebook posts saw the most engagement, such as comments and “likes.

Momentus Media found that Facebook status updates that contained the word “like” saw a 0.38% engagement rate and those that said “comment” saw a 0.14% engagement rate. Text updates without “like” or “comment” saw 0.11% engagement.
