Some social networking features you probably didn't know existed (infographic)

Some social networking features you probably didn't know existed (infographic) | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
Back in 2008, when I joined Twitter and Facebook, the social networks were quite straightforward to use. The features were limited, which was great for everyone.

Things have changed in seven years. All the major social platforms are now maturing into “fully-grown” companies that keep trying to impress their user bases with shiny new options. Unfortunately, unless you follow the news like me, those options can be easily missed.

The Current State Of Social Networks 2012 [INFOGRAPHIC] - AllTwitter

The Current State Of Social Networks 2012 [INFOGRAPHIC] - AllTwitter | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

This data comes courtesy of Ignite Social Media, who have compiled the infographic of infographics about the state of social media, worldwide, in 2012. Ignite’s research revealed that while social media as a whole continues to plateau – we haven’t seen any real growth, planet-wide, since 2009 – there are many success stories to be found. Pinterest has quickly established itself as the de facto social network for women, and Plaxo (who knew that was still going?) is incredibly popular with senior citizens.

When Brands Automate Twitter and Facebook Responses I’ll Revolt | DailyTekk

When Brands Automate Twitter and Facebook Responses I’ll Revolt | DailyTekk | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Have you seen this article on TechCrunch describing how and why brands will soon try to automate social media responses? I just read it and it makes me a bit furious. Many companies, especially large ones, already go out of their way to make it as difficult as humanely possible to contact a real, live human being to talk to. Why? Obviously because they don’t care about their customers as much as their advertising would have you believe.

 

So, big brands (and small brands if you’re dumb enough to try it), here’s a promise and a prediction. If you begin automating social media responses, I promise to quit using your product. I also promise to raise a huge stink about it. I also predict that other people will rebel in a big way if this becomes widespread.
