How can we better leverage these options in learning? How do we leverage these to show best practices, quick bites of information for a particular group or use it in the classroom for application learning through video and discussion of that video. Interesting. Anyone doing it?

What Social Media Is Most Important To You?

What Social Media Is Most Important To You? | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Most Important Social Media
Friend asked a great question but in the wrong way. Social Media isn't important to me in and of itself, but each social media channel can help communicate marketing messages and thus become valuable and important.

Key is "matching the hatch" to borrow a fly fishing term.

Matching the hatch puts the right kind of content, what Gary Vaynerchuk calls "native content', on each social net when THAT information is important to communicating a marketing message. Here is how I answered:

Depends on what I'm trying to accomplish.

If I want comments and discussion GPlus.
If I want feedback from friends Facebook.
If I want to generally test Scoop.it.
If I want a "set it and forget it" content solution Paper.li.
If I have something happening now or want to newsjack Twitter.
To raise money on creative or gaming projects Kickstarter.
If I want to share videos YouTube.

If I want to serialize stories Storify.
If I want to test an infographic Pinterest. 
If I want to do something with audio then SmartCloud.
If I want to create sustainable and potentially "evergreen" content then I use WP blogs. Content becomes "evergreen" based on how it performs (views, shares, conversions).
If I want to sell something ecom then Shopify. 

Match the hatch to get the most from your content, your growing social media tribe, your time and content marketing and curation efforts.

Social media can be annoying to some poeple because they are few repetitive things in the internet that people already have seen it. It's one of the things we get spoiled easily because we've seen it so much.

Lily-rose's curator insight, March 16, 2014 7:57 PM

"Customer Relationship Management has always been the best form of use for social media rather than sales, so will this move get rid of creative advertising/social media campaigns by brands if they can make users buy their product instantly" - i'm not a fan, for the very short period of time i've been part of the 'Twittersphere' I don't see where the two objectives meet? The beauty of Twitter to me, is it's simplicity, the creativity needed to have an effective campaign with 140 characters and the potential results if you get it right. Twitter has had issues finding it's 'place' in the social media realm (a fb with just statuses, an instagram without pictures). I can see where Twitter is coming from in terms of increasing revenue but it appears to be a change in vision?
