Connections, Part Two: Social Connections Without Social Media (opens on the source site)
I went out to dinner and a show with a friend the other day, enjoying some pizza and then wandering over to watch a mediocre blues/country/folk band. This friend was my first roommate from when I first moved out at 19. He lamented that being in his fifties, it was harder to develop new friendships. Around those formative years of my early teens, I moved around quite a bit, from Calgary, to Toronto, to Ottawa. In under two years, I went to four different schools, needing to make new friends each time. It’s not easy being an awkward 13 year old, trying to fit in. Perhaps trying to make friends…
Did Your Last Campaign Work? Why You Need Both Social and Search Data to Know for Sure (opens on the source site)
Every campaign ends the same way: campaign managers put together a deck showing reach numbers, engagement rates, and impressions for leadership. They might even include sentiment analysis or share of voice to wow the room. But there are two questions most post-mortems never actually cover, according to Taylor Dickson, Principal Consultant at Brandwatch: Did it change how people felt? Did it change what people did? And the only way to answer these questions honestly is by looking at both social conversations and traditional search behavior together. Why most campaign measurement misses the…

Why You Need to Include APAC Social Data in Your Listening Strategy (opens on the source site)
If your social listening strategy is still focused exclusively on Western platforms, you are missing out.

From beauty and fashion to gaming and e-commerce, many online trends and consumer behaviors gain traction in APAC platforms before appearing more broadly in Western digital spaces. Yet many brands still overlook this data. And with only 25% of marketers saying they truly understand their audiences,…

Remember files? .doc.doc.doc.doc.jpg.jpg.svg You write a document, hit save, and the file is on your computer. It’s yours. You can inspect it, you can send it to a friend, and you can open it with other apps. Files come from the paradigm of personal computing. This post, however, isn’t about personal computing. What I want to talk about is social computing—apps like Instagram, Reddit, Tumblr, GitHub, and TikTok. What do files have to do with social computing? Historically, not a lot—until recently.…
Open Social (opens on the source site)
Open source has clearly won. Yes, there are plenty of closed source products and businesses. But the shared infrastructure—the commons—runs on open source. We might take this for granted, but it wasn’t a foregone conclusion thirty five years ago. There were powerful forces that wanted open source to lose. Some believed in the open source model but didn’t think it could ever compete with closed source. Many categories of tools only existed as closed source. A Microsoft CEO called open source cancer—a decade before Microsoft has rebuilt its empire around it. The open source movement may not…
