inShare1,645 A study published in 2010 surfaced a startling statistic, “75 percent of employers say their business has no formal policy instructing employees on the appropriate use of social networking sites on the job.” The report, “Employer Perspectives on Social Networking,” compiled data from 34,000 businesses in 35 countries. Does your organization have a formal policy regarding employee use of social media? In the same study, 63% of employers that employed social networking policies reported that those policies improved productivity. Social Media represents the democratization of information and the equalization of influence. While many businesses are attempting to figure out the potential of social media and their voices and roles within relevant networks, many confuse effective engagement with everyday chatter.

Les stratégies « me-too » du Social Media Aujourd’hui, le marché des médias sociaux en France, en apparence, gagne en maturité. Les prestataires sont de plus en nombreux, les outils gagnent en maturité, les postes se créent, les départements (hors communication) dont la Relation Client s’intéressent plus fortement au sujet Or, bien souvent, le constat fait des actions et démarches menées à date est parfois amer et plus souvent désillusionné. Amer parce qu’une certaine impression de ne pas savoir si les actions mises en place sont pertinentes ou plutôt bien souvent l’impression de savoir que la démarche engagée n’est pas pertinente et de ne pas savoir nécessairement pourquoi.Désillusionné plus souvent car c’est le constat a posteriori que les notions d’engagement, de transparence, de relation client ne peuvent pas juste être des mots présents dans une stratégie social media au format PowerPoint mais applicables dans les faits, avec les départements concernés. La désillusion de la stratégie me-too Pour éviter la Bérézina…

SMWF for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad on the iTunes App Store 積極參與社群媒體前百強 星巴克奪冠 Facebook, Twitter et la révolution mondiale Au cours des années 2000, Google, YouTube et Yahoo! s'étaient déconsidérés auprès de la frange la plus politisée des internautes, car ils s'étaient compromis avec divers gouvernements dictatoriaux, dont la Chine. Pour s'installer sur le marché chinois, Google avait accepté des arrangements bancals avec les bureaucrates de Pékin chargés de la censure du Net. Yahoo! avait livré à la police chinoise l'identité d'un dissident anonyme qui utilisait sa messagerie. Les géants américains de l'Internet avaient ainsi acquis une image purement mercantile : des entreprises ordinaires, prêtes à tout pour gagner des parts de marché. La réhabilitation s'amorce vers la fin de la décennie, grâce à la naissance des nouveaux réseaux sociaux comme Facebook et Twitter. Pour Facebook et Twitter, le baptême du feu a lieu lors de la révolte de la jeunesse iranienne de juin 2009. Malgré ces accrocs, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube et leurs concurrents moins célèbres, émergent de cette aventure couverts de gloire.

10 Must-Haves for Your Social Media Policy Sharlyn Lauby is the president of Internal Talent Management (ITM) which specializes in employee training and human resources consulting. She authors a blog at hrbartender.com. A few weeks ago, I wrote that your organization should have a social media policy, and one of the things I heard among all the great comments was: "Okay, but what should it say?" There are generally two approaches to social media policy making. Some organizations handle social media in an evolutionary way. Other organizations, meanwhile, feel more comfortable establishing a clear policy from the outset. Whether you're writing your social media policy from the get-go, or letting it develop organically in reaction to situations as they arise, here are 10 things you should definitely consider. 1. All policies need to address what's in it for the reader/user — what should the reader take away after reading the policy? But that’s the spirit of social media — it’s all about leveraging the positive. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Google launches Plus One to rival Facebook's Like button | Media Google is today introducing the most significant social feature to its search service yet, adding a one-click button to allow users to recommend sites and share those recommendations with their friends.

Appearing as a small icon next to each search result and text ad, logged-in users can share their recommendations with contacts through their Gmail address book, Google Reader and Buzz contacts and, eventually, Twitter contacts. Google would not comment on whether Facebook contacts could eventually be integrated. Google is characterising Plus One as a different function to Facebook's Like, saying that recommendations are only shared within the context of relevant searches, rather than spamming all contacts.

How a Social Media Pro Educates the “Digitally Illiterate” 2-Day Hands-On Social Media Training Sessions Scheduled in Sydney, Singapore, London, Paris, Toronto, New York, Chicago and San Francisco Eric Schwartzman (@ericschwartzman) has a message for those he refers as the “digitally illiterate.” “Digitally illiterate clients and digitally illiterate bosses have unrealistic expectations of what social media can do and cannot do,” he says. Schwartzman, a world-renowned social media trainer and author of the book “Social Marketing to the Business Customer,” delivers hands-on sessions in major cities around the world. He sees no contradiction in live training to better utilize online communications. “Often people find that to really gain any meaningful practical applied skills, they need to immerse themselves in something for an extended period of time,” he says.

Improving social media monitoring… As Social Media Monitoring travels through the technology hype cycle it’s clear that many early adopters are experiencing disappointing results.

HOW TO: Launch Any Product Using Social Media Guy Kawasaki is the author of Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds and Actions. On March 8, I introduced my tenth book. There are few processes that I enjoy more than a product introduction, and this one enabled me to try many social media techniques and online tools and services. After only a week, the book was on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. I have to conclude that at least some of that success was due to the promotional techniques I employed. Here, I'd like to outline the 12 things that I did to launch my new book, including information about costs and vendors I used, as well as analytics. 1. A Facebook Fan Page is the quickest and easiest way to get a web presence for a new product. The challenge with Fan Pages, and websites of any kind, is to attract visitors. There were a few costs involved. 2. In addition to resources for reviewers, I added audio and video to my website. 3. 4. I'm a big believer in email marketing. 5.
