Making the Most of Social Media Marketing – Links

Jason Ford says:

This is a great reference – very comprehensive!

I’ve got one app that you should add though – FeedMagnet – it should be on the list of Social Tools and Apps. FeedMagnet helps companies harness social media by aggregating everything they are saying or things their customers are saying about them, and then making the unified feed available for marketing purposes. Kind of like FriendFeed, but for business. Live updates for conferences and events. Real-time filtered and moderated customer endorsements for your company/products. And it works across more than just Twitter: Flickr, Delicious, Google News, YouTube, Twitpic, yFrog, and other sources as well.

Great list!

I have one to add — beRelevant – should be on the list of Social Tools and Apps. beRelevant is a virtual customer collaboration platform that takes companies beyond social monitoring by gathering and prioritizing insights that drive customer-inspired decisions. Using beRelevant, companies are able to discover ranked priorities in the very words of their own customers. beRelevant helps drive more relevant decisions, products, and marketing mix. As well beRelevant activates demonstrated listening and positive word of mouth for increased customer acquisition and retention. The engagement is enhanced with rich media and works across Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and email.

audrey says:

A very comprehensive social media list. I have a question, though. If you create your own social site in ning.com, who does the maintenance?

9. 2. 2010 at 10:52 pm

Andy says:

Hi Audrey – simple answer is “you do” – so make sure you have the time before you get started!

Mark – would be interested in seeing details of your platform once it’s out of the beta stage.

I would add Gist http://www.gist.com/ also an aggregator of your contacts and what they are doing like FeedMagnet. Anyone using Scribe http://scribeseo.com/ SEO copywriting plugin?

Rand Giusto says:

Great list. I just started using http://strawpollnow.com/ to run polls across my Twitter followers.

One unrelated question- what plug in did you use to get the “Follow Silicon Beach Training” badge with the social media icons?

thanks!

Natasha says:

Thanks for the comment. As for the “Follow SBT…” badge – it’s not plug in but was made by one of our web developers!

What about Gowalla and Foursquare? Brands are taking notice and a new ad unit is emerging, as these social media checkin games allow companies to track incremental store visits.

Benjamin says:

I would add a facebook app called Storefront Social. It gets your products of your online store on your facebook page by a simple CSV upload–it was easy to set up, and now our fans on facebook are able to see new products and share across social media more easily!

Now this information is exceptionally helpful. There are so MANY so called experts out there now, that don’t always offer up actionable information.

This is a real resource – thank you for the gift!

I would give up my dishwasher before I gave up Windows Live Writer. I just love all the features and plug-ins that make blogging so much easier. It’s been ages since I’ve had to log into my blog other than to moderate comments.

I’m still confused, what is the best program to control, facebook, twitter, linkedin and Plaxo? Or is there one?

19. 7. 2010 at 9:56 pm

Social Media Course says:

Hi Sunny,

There are a couple of tools that you can use to update multiple social networks at once.

These are http://ping.fm/ and http://amplify.com/

I’ve added them both to the top of the Social Tools and Apps section.

Good map of the Social Media wilderness. I think this field is pretty well covered and now all we need are the apps which will allow us to control our feed as best as possible. That field still needs to be covered.

I think Reedge.com will be good in Tools & Analytics since you can make twitter segment to test/target them on landingpages.

Great overall resource list. Have you considered putting this into wiki form for community to expand as new tools come out? Your list is nicely done.

Hi Gerry,

Glad you found the list useful. We haven’t opened it up as a Wiki to prevent it from being spammed with advertisers – however if you’d like to suggest new tools via these comments please do – we try to update the list as often as we can.
