He is @SorenG on Twitter. The most radical shift to media in recent years is that we now have a central real-time hub that serves to enhance every other content platform on the web.

Sure, we could always use RSS for blogs, and sign up to follow a person’s activity on a video or photo sharing site, but used correctly, Twitter now provides a one-stop, real-time service for all of a person’s content. It allows us something that in the past only huge corporations could have: our own broadcasting network. Of course, real-time status sites like those very much depend on other services: YouTube and other video sharing sites, Flickr and photo sites, and WordPress, Blogger, and the rest are all important for publishing and hosting content.

HOW TO: Measure Social Media ROI. Olivier Blanchard Basics Of Social Media Roi Defining Clear Goals As a standard formula, ROI is pretty basic, ROI = (X - Y) / Y, where X is your final value and Y is your starting value. In other words, if you invest $5 and get back $20, your ROI is (20 - 5) / 5 = 3 times your initial investment. In the financial sense, ROI is measured purely in the context of dollars and cents, however, the principles can really apply to any type of investment — monetary or not. Having concrete goals and concrete baselines is crucial to calculating your return on investment. So before you set out to measure and monitor your social media returns, you need to have a clear idea of what it is you want to accomplish. Once you have your goals defined, you need to gauge the baseline for your levels before starting or changing your social media strategy.

Jonathan Mildenhall, VP of global advertising strategy and creative excellence at The Coca-Cola Company, has admitted the company is playing catch-up with user-generated content but plans to increase its social media output, reports Danielle Long from Cannes.

Speaking at the international advertising festival Cannes Lions 2009, Mildenhall admitted the multi-national corporation had been slow to embrace UGC and social media. “We’ve been really nervous about user-generated content and, in terms of other brands in the space, we’re playing catch-up,” he said. Mildenhall said a Facebook fan page which was started by consumers and swelled to 4m users helped the brand understand UGC. “At first we were unsure but we’ve seen another world in the sense of the creative community love for the brand,” he said.

“That has helped build confidence in handing over brands to user-generated content and we’re putting that into a lot of our plans.” Four Social Media Questions You Must Answer During an Economic D.
