Social Media for Nonprofits, Briefly
August 4, 2011 | Tags: communications, media, social media, socialmedia4nonprofits, strategy, Twitter
At the Social Media for Nonprofits Conference in NYC, with a great lineup and plenty of useful thoughts and insights.
Here are a few choice ones, in 140 characters or less (of course):
More ‘pointless babble’ on Twitter than, well, anything else
August 18, 2009 | Tags: marketing, self-promotion, social media, Twitter
Twitter poll shocker — or not — from a cleverly tech-news-making study by Pear Analytics: more tweets fall in the category of “Pointless Babble” (40.55%) than any other (News, Spam, Self-Promotion, Conversational and Pass-Along Value).
There’s plenty to dispute in the categorization, methodology, and meaning of the results, but one of the most interesting results was accidental, namely:
Our initial hypothesis that we intended to prove was that Twitter was being used predominantly for self-promotion. These are tweets that are trying to push a product, service or have a distinct “Twitter only offer” of some kind.
Surprisingly for Pear, only 5.85% of the tweets they tracked (2,000 public tweets over two weeks) fell into the “Self-Promotion” category.
A selfless lot, Twitter users. Or else it’s evidence that some of the ten-thousand odd self-proclaimed social media gurus ready to charge hundreds of dollars an hour to tell small business owners how to tweet their way to success may know a little less than they pretend to.
Pear plans to repeat the study each quarter to track trends. It’ll be interesting to watch.
