à lire : 11 moyens d'influencer les internautes via @Laurent8 L’influence peut être définie comme le pouvoir exercé sur l’esprit et le comportement d’autrui. Un pouvoir qui peut affecter, persuader et provoquer des changements sur quelqu’un ou quelque chose. Vous devez d’abord découvrir ce qui inspire quelqu’un avant d’influencer réellement. Qu’est ce qui les fait réagir ? Qu’est ce qui les touche ? Nous avons besoin de leviers lorsqu’il s’agit de changer la manière de penser et d’agir. (Le texte suivant est une traduction autorisée d’un article en anglais par le talentueux Mika. Sauf qu’il y a un problème! Si vous ne connaissez pas la réponse à ces questions, comment est-il possible de les influencer ? J’ai récemment lu Neuro Web Design : What Makes Them Click par Susan Weinschenk. Le livre est rapide à lire (130 pages); il est destiné à monsieur tout le monde plutôt qu’au spécialiste. Contrairement à ce que son titre suggère, le livre traite plus de psychologie que d’usabilité et design Web. 1. ©kygp 2. ©Tetsumo 3. ©Marxchivist 4. ©TW Collins 5. 6.

What Twitter and Facebook's 2009 Trends Tell Us About Ourselves The Social Analyst is a weekly column by Mashable Co-Editor Ben Parr, where he digs into social media trends and how they are affecting companies in the space. As the year comes to a close, several social media companies decided to take a look back and reflect on the events, people, technologies that captured our interest this year. Twitter took the first crack when it revealed the most discussed topics of 2009. Both reports are interesting and have a lot of useful information, yet nobody's really taken the time to analyze just what these trends mean. First, A Recap of Facebook and Twitter's Top Trends of 2009 Before you start reading this week's column, please make sure to take a good, long look at this year's top trends for Facebook and Twitter. First, Twitter's 2009 trending topics: Here are Facebook's top status trends: 1. The #3 trend on Facebook? As we all now know, we dodged a bullet, for H1N1 proved not to be any more deadly than most common flu variants. 2. 3. 4.

The Most ReTweetable Words Finder Tool I’ve done a bunch of research about The Most ReTweetable Words and people seem to like it, but the overall top 20 is a bit too generic for many niches. So I made a tool that will allow you to find the most ReTweetable words about your specific topic. This tool will show you the 20 most ReTweetable words about any given topic. Simply enter a keyword (like “marketing”) and click analyze. The tool will return a list of words that were found to be related to that word and highly ReTweetable. It will also display the number of Tweets and ReTweets analyzed to generate the list. Each word is recalculated after 24 hours, and the tool analyzes up to 1500 Tweets and 1500 ReTweets per word. The tool works by comparing words found in ReTweets against how commonly they appeared in non-ReTweet Tweets, and identifies those words that appear in ReTweets more than they do in non-ReTweets. It does take a few moments to analyze a new word for the first time, so please be patient.

Is this a real murderer on Twitter? Or just some twisted publicity stunt? 17 November '09, 07:53pm Follow Our friends over at Techcrunch Europe have dug up a nasty twitter account this afternoon. The account, under the name dinner_guest is only followed by 3 people (at this time) but seems to describe actions of a Brighton (UK) based murderer. Irrespective of it’s truth, it’s an extremely dark account to read and your imagination can’t help but consider the consequences of this were it true. The odd thing is that there appears to be no humor attached to any of the tweets either which can’t help but lead your mind to the darkest of conclusions. Of course, as a few people have already pointed out – this could just be some rather clever publicity stunt. Ironically the account seems to have appeared on the scene just as the UK police have announced they are to begin using the tool as a means of communication and surveilance.

Who Really Uses Twitter? While Twitter is reputedly growing at 700% per annum and hitting the headlines, it’s sometimes easy to get carried away with it’s significance. Obviously, if you’re a daily Twitterer who’s plugged in to several active networks and using TweetDeck (or a similar tool) as your primary source of news – it seems like anyone who is anyone is using Twitter. But really, are they? The fact is, the Twitter user-base is still a tenth of the size of Facebook and the majority of users remain casual (if not dormant) Twitterers who’ve posted more Tweets than they have followers. Granted, if you’re in the media, marketing or PR, you’ll find millions of active users to follow and engage with, but what about those of us who work in more publicity shy, less showy industries and business sectors? If, for example, you’re an Insurance Lawyer you’ll have a choice of 25 people to follow. Creative industries seem to be disproportionately well represented on Twitter. Clearly, some perspective is needed here.

OMG they did it, favicons, we should give up the fight ;) The new feature certainly livens up Google Reader quite a bit. The only problem now is that you have a lot of feeds, like I do, it’s not exactly easy on the eyes with zillions of colors bombarding your peripheral vision. But hey, no doubt some people will like this, and most importantly, it’s opt-in. While many of its rivals have been doing favicons for a while, Google Reader was slow to add this. You can activate the favicons in the Subscriptions drop down menu in the left hand column. Update: As former Google Reader team member (and current Thing Labs founder) Jason Shellen notes, favicons have been on the product road map since 2005.

Younger Americans Still Fueling Facebook Social Media Today | 10 Tips To Get Retweeted On Twitter Retweeting is the most effective way of sharing information you like on Twitter. Apart from the obvious, most people ask what makes a retweet different from a tweet? Recently I came across Dan Zarrella's data of retweets, where she helps us further understand why people retweet things, and this might help you. 1. Retweets tend to contain links, Zarrella explains - 56.69% of retweets contain a link versus 18.96% of normal tweets.  2.Use URL Shortner Avoid at using tinyurl.com at all cost to shorten your link. 3.Incorporate Pictures & Other Media Who can resist a tweet such as “Picture of my newborn”? 4. As much as possible have these words contained in your tweets, as what Zarrella has found. 5. To be honest, we all occasionally tweet about ‘boring' activities such as sleeping and showering but there are a few words that Zarrella dubs the “least retweetable.” 6. Most RTs contain some form of punctuation with colons, exclamation marks, commas and hyphens leading the way. 7. 8. 9. 10.
