Ultimate Recap: The 12 Best New Social Media Tools from 2012

Ultimate Recap: The 12 Best New Social Media Tools from 2012 | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
One of the big themes of my Top New Social Media Tools from 2011 was the maturation of social networks like Google+, Instagram, and Pinterest as well as the trend of automation to auto-creation.

 

As popular social networks continue to mature, gone are the days in which we post something and hope that it “sticks” or becomes viral. We can now take calculated risks and posting and sharing has become more intelligent and efficient.


2012’s social media theme centers around metrics, analytics, and tools that are helping us create deeper connections with consumers. Content is the underlying current that many are trying to navigate more successfully using the below list as their support team...

An exceptional list and several tools you should test-drive. Great analysis by Jason Keath and a must-read for all.

AdamVincenzini.com: 10 Google products you (probably) never knew existed | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

I don't know about you, but it feels like Google launches a new product every time I turn my laptop on.

And these tend to fit into two distinct categories:

1. Incredibly useful

2. Incredibly bizarre

Fortunately, most of these products are free so we're really not in a position to complain!

After some lengthy research, I was surprised by how many tools Google has either developed or acquired over the years.

So much so, that I thought it was a good idea to compile a list of the secrets of the Google product empire.

Here they are...in no particular order......

Social media listening tool comparison - Smart Insights Digital Marketing Advice | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Listen first! is the first step in almost all advice on creating a social media strategy. To listen effectively you need to choose the right tool. There’s certainly no shortage of choice. Back in 2009 (and updated since) Smart Insights created a comparison of 36 of the best-known online reputation monitoring tools including free and paid.

It seems the choice now is even more bewildering. A November 2015 comparison of social media monitoring tools by Ideya Ltd shows that there are at least 242 tools now available. However, the number of new tools has decreased. Of these sevices, 187 are paid, with the remainder free or using a combined model....

How to start your social media year off with a bang | The Next Web

How to start your social media year off with a bang | The Next Web | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

January is normally the time where we look back on the last twelve months and decide what we want to improve. Cue promises that we’ll go to the gym more often, quit smoking, learn a new skill or language and so on. However, not only is it difficult to keep up any new changes, but the chances of you reverting back to your old habits increases with every new promise you take on.

 

Therefore, whether it’s for yourself or for your business, a clear plan of action is required if you want to make these changes a reality. It doesn’t matter how ambitious or modest your ambitions are, so long as they’re important to you, that’s what matters. While it can be difficult to get started, all big aims start with small steps so keep these in mind when you’re putting your plan together....

What are today’s most popular social media tools? I proposed a short list on the Social Journalism Educators group on Facebook: Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Storify, Instagram, YouTube, WordPress.

 

You’ll note (if you roll over and read the tooltip) that none of the links above go to the home page for that tool — instead, I have linked to useful articles that can help us understand how journalists use (or can use) each one of these particular tools.
