Twitter made waves again recently with its launch of Dashboard, the latest app to join its already confusing app family. The intent of Dashboard and Engage appears to be to narrow down Twitter’s feature set for specific kinds of users. This is built on the premise that the platform overall is perceived as too difficult…

A question I’ve seen various publications bat around recently is, “Is Twitter engagement/impact falling?” I’m honestly surprised that journalists are not given at least read-only access to their Google Analytics data to make these assessments themselves. If you do have access to Google Analytics, let’s look at how to determine Twitter’s impact. First, you’ll need…

One of the recurring questions people asked yesterday about my post on influence was why agencies and marketers focus so much on Twitter, when other channels like Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook are equally, if not more impactful.

One of the ‘best practices’ touted by social media ‘experts’ is to never use direct messaging features in a social network to advertise. This has become such an ingrained belief that social media users take umbrage when it happens to them. Why? If the end user doesn’t want to hear from someone, unfollowing is a…

Marketers are abuzz with polls on Twitter. To quote The Flash’s Harrison Wells… I do caution restraint. Here’s why: Twitter polls are no more scientific or representative than sending out an email to your mailing list. Additionally, Twitter does not provide any kind of data which can be used for weighting. Let’s look at an…
