Teens leaving FB
And in a nutshell:
"In the end, Facebook has been trying too hard. Teens hate it when people try too hard; it pushes them away. It’s like if my mom told me not to do something — I immediately need to do it. When she forces something on me, I really don’t want to do it."
Okay, totally get it.

From the Ngram Viewer to Google Dart, check out some of these lesser-known Google applications.
Dude... Google rocks. Totes going to start using 9&10.
Hey friends, what do you think? Is this the future of the industry?http://mashable.com/2013/08/25/chills-distribution/
Brands affect how social media is perceived--and it's not all good.
Great article with props for companies staying relevant, and others who are "stretching" it.
So, I came across a website called goodreads.com from a post on Facebook. It is a website with a book rating system that, based on your ratings of well known books, recommends other books for you! It also incorporates social media engagement (which you know I LOVE), so I jumped on it! There was one book that was on pretty much every one of my lists, so I decided to give it a go. The name? DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth.
Okay, that website ROCKS, because it took me all of 10 seconds to be completely consumed and addicted to this book. Taking place in a utopian society, it reminded me of a combination of the Hunger Games and the movie Equillibrium. I knew nothing going in, and was thrilled to find out afterwards that they are currently filming the movie! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1840309/ The book is the first in a trilogy, with the final book coming out October 22nd of this year.
I've also decided this: I really really enjoy young adult books! Although there is certainly nothing "young" about this one. The author, Veronica, is my age and comes from Chicago, so I feel a weird connection not only to the content of the book, but to her writing as well. Having graduated from a Columbia College in the heart of the South Loop, the setting was familiar yet distant with the twist of the apocalyptic feel.
So now comes the tough decision: do I read the second book and continue the journey, or do I wait until the third book comes out so I can complete the series and NOT be left on a cliff hanger?
What would you do??
I just tried it, and it works! Look out laundry, you are about to get way less quality time.
Facebook announced searchable HASHTAGS. On a professional level, this can drastically increase our social media marketing presence, and allow for much greater find-ability. I'm excited. What are your thoughts?!
Facebook just announced that it is indeed launching ability to follow conversations via hashtags, as was reported in March. In the blog post announcing the new feature, Facebook acknowledges that this isn't exactly a new idea, noting that it will be "similar to other services like Insta..
Here's what I'm listening to today! Come listen with me :)
This is FANTASTIC.
There is No One Right Way
I thought it only appropriate that my first blog post covered this truth which I believe is at the core of social media marketing: There is no one right way.
In recent years we have gone from clunky 3 lb car phones, to smart phones that can do just about everything. We've gone from dial up internet to faster than lightning speed internet. And we've taken something as simple as a search engine, and harnessed it to reach billions of people at the same time utilizing search engine optimization (SEO).
With something so smart, so fast, and so vast of an audience base, it would be simple minded to say there is only one right way to market. What I do know is this: each company has THEIR right way to market utilizing social media.
One of the joys of my day is watching a company (large or small) utilizing social media to get their message across in a clear yet creative way. A great example came across my home page of Facebook this week.
Clearasil: known by the actresses on television who magically throw water on their face and feel instantly refreshed. I don't know about you, but when I throw water on my own face, it get's in my eye, all over my sink, and soon I find myself slipping on a puddle on my way to grab a towel for my poor stinging face.
So how does Clearasil make a point on Facebook? The posted this image, which had two great effects.
Firstly, this is an image that displays an awkwardness that MANY people can relate too. Then it uses that feeling of awkwardness to show how you can feel less awkward in your normal life: by using their product. And then finally (and here's the kicker), they included a call to action (CTA) that said "SHARE" if you can relate in the description.
And voila. They have gone from unrealistic TV commercials to creating an experience that their target audience can completely relate too, thus branding themselves and creating an unforgettable experience around their brand. All from one simple post on Facebook.
Because there is no one right way to market on the social medias, companies worldwide are having to harness their creativity to create messages that are relatable to the masses. Social Media Marketing has created a new way of thinking, an amazing opportunity to reach the world, and for some (like me!) a new career path.
So stick with me friends. Let's break apart the vast world of social media, and figure out how it works best for YOUR brand.
Cheers!
