According to findings of a new study by the Webby Awards, Social Media platforms really do allow people to influence the purchasing activities of their connections. The strategic question remains, however: who actually gets people to buy? Some social media experts say you must win the “influencers” to your cause and make them your advocates.... Via janlgordon

Zoekmachines - en Google - voorop gaan de context van zoektermen steeds beter begrijpen, zodat gebruikers betere en op hun situatie (plek, voorkeuren) toegespitste resultaten krijgen. Omdat het daarbij om de zogeheten 'big data' draait, is onder meer het gebruik van Google+ belangrijk voor Google.
Kort gezegd gaat het betekenen dat zoekwoord 'pizza' niet leidt naar allerhande recepten websites, maar naar de Italiaan om de hoek.

Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest – What Happens Every 60 Seconds In Social Media?
Some very interesting information:
**Did you know that every 60 seconds Twitter sees (on average) 175,000 new tweets?
**Over that same time period, Pinterest receives 1,090 visitors
**LinkedIn absorbs 7,610 searches
**Flickr users upload 3,125 photos?
**If you think those numbers are impressive, how about this: each and every minute of the day, 700,000 messages are sent on Facebook
** two million videos are watched on YouTube.
What caught my attention - sometimes the comments are just as interesting if not more than the actual content itself:

Misleading and inaccurate.
You cite an article on Foursquare from AUGUST, then round DOWN. They get over five million check ins per day: http://mashable.com/2012/02/28/foursquare-hq-tour/ — so double what you’ve presented here.
Jumpstart was very apologetic and said they're trying to be as accurate as possible. Point being, these infographics are great to look at and give us an approximation of what's actually happening, trying to keep the facts straight, not an easy task for sure:-)
This data is courtesy of a new infographic from marketing consultancy firm Social Jumpstart, which takes a closer look and tries to be as accurate as possible at what happens in social media every 60 seconds.

This piece was written by Andy Capaloff for Curatti Collaboration across multiple skillsets is essential in any advancement, whether in the social sphere or in business. Just as a good curator adds context related to their readership and an observation on the running of a small business can help take it to the next level, so input from people outside of the current thought leadership sphere can catapult conversations to new heights. There are different types of smarts, and just because you may not feel that your writing matches up those involved in innovations that you are drawn to, does not mean that your input, providing a new angle, will not provide an ingredient that nobody even realized was missing. Here are some highlights: Technology and Social Media are branching out into many new forms at a rate few if any can keep up with. Inevitably, natural selection comes into play, ensuring that even some of the best ideas barely see the light of day. There is huge value in “multiple skillsets being employed in any process, with questions being asked by the non-experts or those with complementary skills” There comes a point when a different viewpoint borne of different experiences and knowledge become essential to lift any great idea towards a new, far greater plateau Read more here: [http://bit.ly/1j0oMqv]

You don't need more content. You need old content. I know, that's not what you usually hear, so stick with me and we will look at some numbers to see why it is so important. Via janlgordon

Although the idea is very interesting, I don't see any valid arguments that OLD content is the key to high rankings. You even can't say there's a correlation here because 14/30 pages are less then 1 year old and 16/30 are more than 1 year old.
The method for determining OLD website is also faulty since the age of domain is not the same as the age of the content itself. So if the page has been updated within this year, it should be labeled as new. To my mind, 90% of the TOP10 search results pages have been updated during last year, so this would mean that NEW content is the key to high rankings. And since this is just a hypothesis, I must present an actual trend that has been spotted by SEO specialists recently. After latest Google Search engine updates, fresh content easily wins over old content with a lot of backlinks. If OLD content was the king, there would be NO fresh content (up to 1 month old) on first page at all.

Some things we know are better with age, like wine and wisdom, but content? Seriously? Read on to see stats showing why your old content can be a power horse for generating increased site traffic and search results.

Social Content Marketing is no longer an Option.
Our web traffic will live or die on how well we engage in social media. Google Plus and Facebook and Twitter and Pinterest and YouTube and LinkedIn and Yelp are all part of our social sphere of influence.
Those are pretty good numbers. 6 out of 10 people are not buying products because other people have shared them. Who would have thought?
Can we really influence people? Should we just listen to what they have to say and tell stories and ways to help them?
