My effort to analytically study the unicorns-and-rainbows myth of “engaging in the conversation” started by looking at the relationship between the number of followers a user has and the percentage of their Tweets that are “@” replies. I found that highly followed users are less conversational than those with few followers.
This time, I looked at the relationship between follower count and the percentage of a user’s tweets that contain links and are not replies. Using a sample of random, recently active Twitter accounts, I found a strong correlation. As the amount of links a user tweets increases the number of followers they have also increases. And users with more than 1,000 followers tend to tweet many more links…

Readability is a measurement of how complex a piece of content is. It can be measured as a grade level, the school grade level required to be able to understand the text.
I’ve done a bunch of research in the past into how readability effects sharing, and I’ve found that especially on Facebook, simple language is shared more than complex language.
It’s still very beta, so it may break. But it’s pretty simple code, and doesn’t change…

If you’ve seen me speak or read my site, you know how I feel about Unicorns and Rainbows. Feel good advice based on dangerous and naive assumptions. My goal as the mad social media scientist is to debunk the unicorns and rainbows myths one by one.
In celebration of all other mad scientists out there, I talked to the folks at Mimoco (which is a cool company) and they agreed to partner with me to give away three (3) of their Dr. Knowledgeus 4GB MIMOBOT USB flash drives in the name of social media (mad) science.…

We were moved due to some impending renovations. This new-to-us office will be temporary {if you can call two years temporary} and then we'll move back into the newly renovated space. :)
I'll show you pictures once everything is put together!

If you’ve seen me speaking, or you read my blog regularly, you may know that one of my favorite past times is busting social media marketing myths, and one of my favorite examples of “unicorns and rainbows” advice is “engage in the conversation.” Finally, I decided to use data to test the notion that “engaging in the conversation” on Twitter has a positive impact.
People follow you on Twitter because they like what you’re saying, and the more people who follow you, the larger your reach is. If you are a marketer, there is no point in pursuing a twitter strategy that doesn’t include getting as many followers as possible. Naturally, one of the most important measures of success…

Some stats have been published, by researchers and the company themselves, about mobile usage of Facebook. But to content creators, one of the most important uses of the social network is when users create posts, sometimes posting original content, often sharing articles and media found elsewhere on the web. I was unable to find much data about how much of this activity occurs via mobile devices, so I decided to research my own.
I used a random sample set of more than 70,000 Facebook public posts (those from users with open privacy settings). The data includes status updates, videos, links and photos. 32.69% of those posts were created from mobile devices. The mobile Facebook website, m.facebook.com lead mobile usage with…

With so much unicorns and rainbow nonsense floating around the web, it's easy for your boss to think of social media as little more than wasting time on Facebook. When the thought leaders are saying it's impossible to measure the ROI of social media, it's no surprise executives are wary of investing in it.
If your boss asks you to justify the time you're spending on Twitter, asking him what the ROI of putting your pants on in the morning isn't going to get you far. Is it?
The antidote to the puffery rampant in social media circles is science. Hard data and facts about social media. Numbers-based measurement of reliable and repeatable campaigns is the only way social…

JOPLIN - If you know of people in Joplin attempting to get assistance, tell them to call 2-1-1 or go to the 2-1-1 website. A Facebook page has also been set up to coordinate volunteer recovery efforts. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is asking all first responders to report to the command post at 34th Street and Main Street in Joplin.

For marketers the most important use of Twitter is to increase your reach to spread your content. To do this, you need to get more followers. Sure there are customer service uses of Twitter, but for marketing purposes, follower count is key.
I’ve been doing research for a few years now on how to get more followers, and here are some of the most important points I’ve found. You can find details about each point under the infographic.
When you sign up for Twitter, you’re asked to provide 3 pieces of personal information: a bio, a homepage link and a picture. Many more accounts than you’d expect don’t do these simple things. But…
