A Social Media Prayer

2

Our user profiles, who art online, hallowed be our names.

Thy check-ins done,thy badges won,on Earth as they are on Foursquare.

Give us this day our Facebook updates.

And forgive us our overuse of emoticons and exclamation points, as we forgive those who tag us in old high school photos.

And lead us not into print, but deliver us from Google, er, I mean, evil.

For thine is the Twitter, the blog post, and the lifestream, for ever and ever -- at least until the next damn thing comes along.

Amen.

Listening Can Seem Like Baptism by Firehose

@montelutz

It’s easy to get lost in the maze

and forget why you started monitoring the conversation in the first place.

@montelutz

Does your data

resemble the script for

Inception?

What are you measuring?

• Volume – How big is the conversation?

• Velocity – How quickly does the conversation spread?

• Sentiment – What is the tone of the conversation?

• Influence – Are you reaching the right people?

• Groundswell – Are you sparking additional conversations?

• Impact – Are you changing the conversation?
