Nielsen Online, an analytics firm that tracks time spent online at various websites, has issued a report finding that throughout 2008 social networking sites and blogs saw more time spent by users than personal email.
Conversation Agent: The Better Business Experience for your Cust
Axel Schultze got my attention over at Social Media Today . We were discussing the Forrester report on sponsored conversations and as comment to my post he quoted his post "Not the Internet but the business model killed industrial media." Of course, if he were a reader of my blog, he would know that I've written about that here in my Sunday series on new media and mainstream media.

@import url('http://s3.amazonaws.com/getsatisfaction.com/feedback/feedback.css'); Document search engine DocJax - Docs right everywhereA year ago, here at Razorfish, we developed a hypothesis that the way people were influencing each other -- online, in small groups, through peer pressure, reciprocity or flattery -- was giving rise to a whole new form of marketing that we called Social Influence Marketing™ (SIM).

2. But Acknowledge the Legitimate News Exception . We all read certain blogs and other web content without the implied expectation that the people who post that content will read our blogs and engage us in conversation. There are old media examples of this like CNN and C|Net , and there are new media examples like Mashable and Engadget . So it’s OK for those sites to have a Twitter presence with a low Fg/Fs Ratio, as long as they aren’t quasi-spammers (see item 3 below). One important caveat: the threshold for this exception is high.

As we move further into a social media world where unlike anytime in the past friends can have a much larger and far ranging impact than before. This isn’t your father’s type of friendship as many of the people we call friends in this social media world are people we most likely haven’t met nor in a lot of case will ever meet in the traditional face-to-face manner. Yet they are becoming an increasingly important influence in our lives.

The Newest Annoyance on Twitter: Follow and Refollow Spam
Unless you've turned off notifications when users follow you on Twitter , you are no doubt used to the e-mail messages you get when somebody has opted into seeing your updates. Follower updates are a staple of social services - and if you are maniacal about keeping e-mail like I am, you can start to see trends on the data, including when people are oddly manipulating the system, in a way that's not normal. And for whatever reason, a small number of Twitter accounts look like they regularly follow me multiple times a day.
Start counting the number of social media websites you have a profile with, right now. Out of fingers yet? Facebook , Twitter , Flickr , and YouTube are just the start of it – for people active on social websites, you could have several dozen social media profiles, half of them using a really old picture of you.

Changing Nature of Virality: Facebook and Twitter
After Perez Hilton recorded a single-day high of 13.9 million page views on the day after the Oscars, web research firm Hitwise found that the celeb gossip site’s top traffic source is Facebook. That’s crazy — for nearly as long as web analytics have been widely available, the top referrer for just about anything has been Google. But since the last week of December, Hitwise analyst Heather Hopkins said, Facebook has given Perez more visits than Google; with 8.70 percent compared to 7.62 percent in a week in the middle of February. So what part of poking your crush and sharing your vacation photos includes referring enormous amounts of traffic? Content sharing is an increasingly important activity on Facebook, and it will only grow with the company’s coming integration of real-time streams of friends’ activity .PR 2.0: Facebook Swims Its Way into Your Lifestream: What the Fa
Shot at Mark Zuckerberg’s 2008 F8 keynote This week Facebook hosted a blogstar-studded event to introduce a more people-focused platform for interacting around your Facebook statusphere in “Twitter time.” Let’s review what this news means to you as a user and as a new media enthusiast. After Facebook’s failed attempt at acquiring Twitter, the company seems to be on a b-line to unite people in an online social graph while connecting them through a dynamic and rapid fire conversation and engagement platform. The company introduced new profiles for public figures and organizations, which were once called Fan Pages. These new profiles will look and feel just like regular individual profiles.The folks over at BrandonHall, the learning folks who blog lots of interesting links, pointed out a value of Twitter that not all of us may have seen yet. Twitter as a search engine. This was interesting to me because I’m co-leading a short online workshop introducing social media in a global international development network. The question always comes up “why would we be interested in something like Twitter. One application I try to show is Twitter as social listening. But I never really conceptualized it as search.
