Why Niche Social Networks Like Empire Avenue Matter to Social Media Marketers. Social media websites are filled with communities and large numbers of people, and most businesses decide to strategically market to the largest websites that exist: Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. There are many more social networks outside of the “Big Three,” so for some companies it might make sense to look into targeting up-and-coming networks such as Google+ (although it is limited until Google releases Business Profiles) or, if you were a restaurant, to look into Foursquare marketing.
The central doctrine of social media marketing is that you need to be where your customers are, and sometimes these customers are spending more time on other platforms that might be under your radar. That’s why it’s always worthwhile to spend sometime researching what other social networks your network might be and look into investing some time there to engage. A good example is Ravelry, a social network for knitters. 1. 2. 3. 4.

What's all the fuss about Empire Avenue? - TNW Social Media. Empire Avenue is a curious new site that has attracted the eyeballs of numerous early adopters as it could be used to determine an effective ranking systems for humans using social media channels. In essence, the site lets you buy and sell people as if they were stocks, assigning a value to each person using the virtual currency “Eaves.”
Although it’s just a game right now there are interesting spin-offs that could come out of this including people with virtual currency in “their shop” and as an interesting way of ranking people. We’ve seen services like Klout try to do this through algorithms but the approach from Empire Avenue is far more engaging. Buying And Selling People The idea behind Empire Avenue is that you buy or sell people based on a universal value based index. You can buy or sell anybody who is on the site using your own “Eaves” and then sit back and watch as your investment rises and falls.
