How to Find New Competitive Knowledge in Social Media

How to Find New Competitive Knowledge in Social Media | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
Buzz used to be an intangible — something you just felt. No longer.

"Buzz volume" is one of the metrics offered by a new generation of social-media-based tools that are transforming the way corporations gather intelligence about customers and competitors. "Consumer sentiment" is another: You can now get a reading on how customers are feeling about your products or services, your customer service, or your prices.

It takes time to be social

It takes time to be social | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

According to research by the Dachis Group, only 10 – 20% of employees in large organizations are actively engaged with their enterprise social collaboration platforms, as reported in this MIT Sloan article:

 

It may be that for many employees, even in these early adopter firms working to integrate internal social business applications, using these applications do not offer enough value or reason to shift behavior. Employees may be unaware of the potential of their social platform; or perhaps they have not been properly trained and educated. Or of course, it is also possible that while they are aware and have been trained, the value still isn’t there or isn’t high enough.

Why Twitter Needs Apple More Than Apple Needs Twitter

Why Twitter Needs Apple More Than Apple Needs Twitter | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
Maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise that Apple -- known for its go-it-alone ways -- would need a little help getting social.

 

The real winner in a deal, however, could be Twitter. Facebook shares have fallen more than 38% since the Menlo Park, Calif.-based social networks May IPO. Shares in another standard bearer for social media, gaming company Zynga, have fallen more than 65% so far this year. The prospects for a social media IPO, or an acquisition by a larger social media company, are diminishing quickly.

 

A deal with Apple would give Twitter ties to a company with products that are more tangible, at least, than those of its peers in social media.
