I Liked Everything I Saw on Facebook for Two Days. Here’s What It Did to Me
There’s this great Andy Warhol quote you’ve probably seen before: “I think everybody should like everybody.” You can buy posters and plates with pictures of Warhol, looking like the cover of a Belle & Sebastian album, with that phrase plastered across his face in Helvetica. But the full quote, taken from a 1963 interview in Art News, is a great description of how we interact on social media today. Warhol: Someone said that Brecht wanted everybody to think alike. I want everybody to think alike. The like and the favorite are the new metrics of success—very literally. I like everything. See, Facebook uses algorithms to decide what shows up in your feed. There is a very specific form of Facebook messaging, designed to get you to interact. The first thing I liked was Living Social—my friend Jay had liked it before me and it was sitting at the top of my feed. One thing I had to decide right away was what to do about the related items that appear after you’ve liked something.

7 Facebook Statistics You Should Know For An Engaging Facebook Page 2.7K Flares Filament.io 2.7K Flares × One of the things we focus on most at Buffer is the best time to post to Twitter and Facebook. This is because we want to help you get more engagement with your audience, which is beneficial for everyone. While the best time to post is definitely important, there are some other things to keep in mind.

Especially Buffer’s new image posting feature let’s you right click any image on the web and then share it in full-size to your wall in seconds. 2.

Facebook glaubt dich zu kennen, hat aber keine Ahnung | VICE Alps Foto von Quinn Dombrowski | Flickr | CC BY-SA 2.0 Es gab einmal einen Psychologen namens Carl Gustav Jung und der erfand am Anfang der Zwanziger Jahre ein Modell, mit dem sich sämtliche Menschen in Typen einteilen lassen. Endlich musste man sich nicht mehr mit Menschen rumschlagen. Gab ab jetzt ja nur noch acht verschiedene. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde Jungs Theorie auf der anderen Seite des Atlantiks von einer Hausfrau verwurschtelt. Manchen Firmen möchten aber nicht nur ihre Mitarbeiter, sondern auch ihre Kunden gerne besser kennenlernen.

What To Do With Spare Ideas We all get tons of new ideas constantly as designers. Which is awesome – don’t get me wrong – but sometimes we get way more ideas than we can actually get to in one sitting. Or even in one lifetime. Often, designers simply jot down those excess ideas in a notebook and file them away somewhere, but that’s boring and unhelpful. The truth is, there are far better ways to deal with your spare ideas.

"first to be raised online" & response Obvious Design Always Wins If you’re like me, you are curious about how changing the interface of a mobile application or website may influence the engagement and the earnings of your product. The idea for this article came to me after reading a tweet posted on the 11th of April by Luke Wroblewski. His statement Obvious always wins and the image associated with it made me think about some real cases where a simple change may give unexpected results. Let’s find out what obvious means in the field of mobile design, and look at some examples of obvious choices that affect users’ engagement in a good way. Obvious always wins What is obvious? Things appear obvious when easily discovered, seen, or understood. The problem is not with them. Obvious is not what you think In mobile Design there are no intuitive interfaces. When you surf the Web or use mobile apps, they usually have, more or less, the same look.

Storytelling For Freelancers Several years ago, I worked as an in-house copywriter and designer for a prominent marketing firm. When I first applied for the job I didn’t have any of the credentials my employers were looking for, and yet I got the job anyway, out of a pool of more qualified competitors. Why did I get chosen? The boss liked my story. I had no experience with working at a firm, nor was I technical enough to get deeply involved in the backend work. What is Storytelling? You may be thinking to yourself, ‘I’m a designer – why do I need to worry about telling stories? I’ll bet that every movie you’ve ever seen goes something like this: there’s a person who does something in reaction to something that happened around them, which in turn causes another thing to happen that the person also has to do something about, and so on. Articulate the Vision For Your Clients “Why must you tell THIS story? What’s the essential thing you are trying to convey to your audience? Words or Images? In Conclusion

Facebook Fan Valuation Matrix Facebook's Out: Blogging and Google+ is In If you use Facebook to connect to fans who are interested in your brand or company, your reach will soon diminish. According to AdAge, Facebook stated, "We expect organic distribution of an individual page's posts to gradually decline over time..." And a Facebook spokesperson said, "the best way to get your stuff seen if you're a business is to pay for it." It's already happening. I personally have noticed a sharp drop in my Facebook posts' reach in the past several weeks, and social media marketers all around are reporting the same. All that work you spent building your fan base through page likes, and through consistently publishing great content on Facebook will soon be for naught, unless you cough up some dough. And money spent on Facebook may not be worth your while. I have experimented with Facebook advertising by paying for sponsored stories--both for my own page and for clients' pages. So, in addition to rethinking your social media marketing plan, what to do? BLOG. Connect:
