Although Pinterest launched just two years ago, the site already boasts about 12 million users and a staggering number of daily pageviews. This rush to join Pinterest has been somewhat tempered by concerns over the social network's terms of use. Some have incorrectly concluded that Pinterest owns everything posted on the site. Before a company — or a user, for that matter — joins Pinterest, it’s important to separate the myths from the realities. No, Pinterest Doesn’t Own What You Post One common question is whether Pinterest owns everything that you post. In other words, you’re not giving up any ownership rights you may have simply by virtue of posting something on Pinterest.

Réussir avec les réseaux sociaux | Les réseaux sociaux d'entreprise au service de la collaboration et de l'innovation Paysage des solutions réseaux sociaux d'entreprise Créer un réseau social d’entreprise, ce n’est pas placer une plate-forme du type Facebook ou Google+ dans son entreprise.

How to Evaluate a Social Campaign - DigitalSurgeons.com Social media has become one of the biggest enigmas of the Digital Age. It is widely accepted as not just a means for socialization, but also a viable marketing strategy. As brands quickly find new and interesting ways to utilize social media as a marketing vehicle, they all hit the same roadblock: how to measure success? Here is one way that we like to measure our social media success. The equation we prefer for valuing our social media campaigns is: V = (n/1,000) x CPM. It’s just like 7th grade math class all over again: the goal of this equation is to solve for V, or the value of your social media impressions. So let’s say the CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) of an ad that reached those same people was $.296. $.296 is the current rough average CPM on Facebook’s ad platform. 79,000,000 divided by 1000 is 79,000. 79,000 multiplied by a $.296 CPM equals a value of $23,384! However, until a universally accepted measurement metric is created, it is still a matter of personal preference.

She authors a blog at hrbartender.com. LinkedIn, which recently reached the 50 million user milestone, has long been considered the social networking site for professionals.

Pinterest announces new terms of service & that private boards are coming soon. | LL Social - Aurora For my latest post about future Pinterest private boards and current alternatives click here. As many of us have speculated, Pinterest today acknowledged that their original terms of service were a standard set of terms that didn’t really reflect the intent of what Pinterest was or is. To correct this, Pinterest announced a number of changes to their terms of service, acceptable use and privacy policies. Pinterest removed the language that allows them to sell the images you pin. Our original Terms stated that by posting content to Pinterest you grant Pinterest the right for us to sell your content. The number one request from Pinterest users is having the option to have private boards. Finally, we added language that will pave the way for new features such as a Pinterest API and Private Pinboards. It will be interesting to see what Pinterest does in terms of API. Pinterest makes it easier to report copyright violations. Once you click on “Report a pin” you will see these options.

Three Myths about What Customers Want - Karen Freeman, Patrick Spenner and Anna Bird by Karen Freeman, Patrick Spenner and Anna Bird | 9:10 AM May 23, 2012 This post is the last in a three-part series. Most marketers think that the best way to hold onto customers is through “engagement” — interacting as much as possible with them and building relationships. It turns out that that’s rarely true. In a study involving more than 7000 consumers, we found that companies often have dangerously wrong ideas about how best to engage with customers. Consider these three myths. Myth #1: Most consumers want to have relationships with your brand. Actually, they don’t. How should you market differently? First, understand which of your consumers are in the 23% and which are in the 77%. Myth #2: Interactions build relationships. No, they don’t. Of the consumers in our study who said they have a brand relationship, 64% cited shared values as the primary reason. Myth #3: The more interaction the better. Wrong.
