As technology advances, the amount of information shared increases dramatically as well. No longer is just sharing pictures something of the norm, it’s boring now! Sharing your location is now what posting pictures once was. I’m not talking about Foursquare when people post that they’re at the library or “fishbat docks,” I’m talking about Geotagging posts and photos! How awesomely social is that? The fact that you can attach to your Tweet that you’re sitting at a local farmer’s market or at a Mets game is absolutely incredible From a community managers point of view, this makes…

Spam is annoying. Period. There is always a random e-mail that we receive and don’t even bother to open but just send it right to the trash. We all know spam as something that is a nuisance when it comes to e-mails. But community managers have a difficult time with it as well when it comes to their social media platforms.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I think Apple has a huge “underground” stronghold on social media – and they don’t pay a damn thing for it. Apple for some reason or another has an unparalleled ever surrounding hype about itself that just attracts everyone in the technology era. Especially now with the Worldwide Developers Conference coming up the second week in June, I am seeing an increasingly steady trend of Apple product rumors. As a social media marketer, it is unbelievable to me that Apple is able to have users do it on their own for them. That is part of why Apple is as successful…

With the recent purchase of Instagram, Facebook now has the capability to control a vast majority of the social media world. They control the most written content on the web and now they can control a huge part of the online photo world. So if foursquare was next on the Facebook shopping list at what heights could Facebook reach? Foursquare is the ultimate way for people to get deals, to find places to shop/eat, and it’s a great way for businesses to increase their online exposure. When people check-in to a certain place, their status is then sent to their Facebook Timeline or Twitter page. Their…
