- Goodbye, Facebook, and thanks for all the fish...
- by Simon Dell. Marketing Magazine, Posted on October 30, 2012. "Build engagement. That's what social media is about, isn't it? Engaging with the people who've chosen to like your page in order to build a relationship and hopefully nurture a purchase or recommendation from them. Build a community and talk to them frequently about your brand to create an army of adorers. I, for one, have been a staunch advocate of social media in the past years, and most notably, Facebook as a platform for businesses of all size to reach their target market, or their biggest fans. But I fear it’s time to say goodbye, pack our bags and discover a new way for the SMBs, and even the bigger boys, to engage with their fans. Let’s use our Facebook page as an example..."

- Facebook Not a Strategy - Getting 400 Twitter Followers Not a Business Goal
- Posted by: Vickie Pittard. Social Media Today, Posted October 16, 2012. "The fact that something can be counted or measured does not make it worth measuring. Yet many so-called social media gurus want business owners and CEOs to accept worthless measurements as proof of the effectiveness of their social media programs. What is more, because so many of us are still mystified by social media, far too many people are reluctant to challenge what they are being told. Unless you inhabit some Parallel universe, Facebook is not a strategy, nor will it ever be a strategy. Accumulating 400 Twitter Followers is not a business goal, although it might be a noteworthy feat for many..."

- Social Media: How to Make the Business Case
- by Heidi Cohen, Posted on October 9, 2012. "The Social Media Cost-Benefit Analysis (Proof You Need). Roughly nine out of ten US businesses with at least 100 employees are using social media for marketing objectives in 2012, according to eMarketer, and many plan to increase their social media spend for the coming year. Despite this, many of these firms still have trouble making the case for social media investment, because they’re not able to track ROI success. In part this is attributable to social media’s evolution from being a small project outside of the budget process to being an integral part of the marketing plan. In the process, different metrics and approaches are needed to support the budget. In the short term, one alternative is to develop a cost-benefit analysis..."

- by Richard Gascoyne. E-consultancy, Posted 27 September 2012. "The world of social media has led to significant hype about the possibilities this emerging channel offers marketers. And there is certainly a lot about social media that should get the experienced, informed and enabled marketer salivating. Social media is not, however, the first new channel marketers have had to adopt in recent years. We don't hear much about how practitioners of social marketing can learn from their colleagues operating in other marketing channels, specifically email, which has evolved considerably in the last few years as well.

- Five ways to avoid social media fragmentation
- by James Carson. E-Consultancy Limited, Posted 1 October 2012. "The most common problem I've come across in social media is what I'll call 'fragmentation'. It's the attempt by marketers to use as many platforms as possible in an effort to reach a potential audience. What generally occurs is a fragmentation of attention and resources away from what suits the company best – and whatever 'strategy' was in place consequently falls flat because it lacks focus..."

- What is Google+ Really all About?
- by Bas van den Beld. State of Search, 26 September 2012. "Google+ is Google's Social Network, or at least, that is what we all think it is. It is Google's effort to push out Facebook and to be the biggest not just in search, but also in social. But in fact Google+ is not intended to be that Facebook killer. Yes, off course, if Google gets the chance, they will definitely try to beat Facebook. But Google+ in fact is more about data: it will be part of every Google product in the future. If you listen carefully to what Googlers are saying you will get some nice insights into what the intentions from Google are. They are going to change the online world with Google Plus and the crux is data, identification, personalization and integration..."
