This is the holy grail of content -- getting into the top 30 of most shared content for the year! http://buzzsumo.com/blog/go-viral-lessons-shared-content-2016/
How was your 2016? Yes, it was a little crazy. The volume of social sharing reflected that. The act of social sharing became mainstream news itself in 2016. There were many stories about echo chambers, the sharing of false news … Continued

A veteran content strategist shares how to create posts that rise to the top of the feed.
Interesting use for selfies: "The selfies are a good way for companies to obtain information that people can’t or don’t articulate in focus groups or other traditional research methods... For example, they could lead to an understanding of which rituals go along with certain types of consumption." http://goo.gl/7R9Ecv
Companies are paying to have people to take selfies with their products to learn about consumer behavior, and marketers say the insights are eye-opening.
Wow! Big move from Prevention Magazine: http://www.wsj.com/articles/prevention-magazine-takes-radical-step-no-print-ads-1459714328
Prevention magazine, once Rodale’s flagship title, will no longer accept print advertising starting with its July issue. Following a steep drop in ads across the company’s portfolio, publishing heiress Maria Rodale decided to raise newsstand and subscription prices at Prevention and slash costs by e…
Another (good!) change in Facebook's algorithm geared towards displaying Page content that's more relevant to the audience.

Google+ is turning 2 years old this month and has seen both solid growth and criticism during these first years. However, all that talk of Google+ ghost to
Not surprising as I've often wondered why Facebook doesn't do more with search. But beware: "What this means is that posts that were relatively private because they weren't easily findable are now truly public." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/facebook-universal-search-update_562917cde4b0443bb5630e3b
Every public post is now searchable.
Interesting new feature from Twitter called Moments. Definitely helps organize the chaos and I agree with their angle that Twitter is for very recent news: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/08/technology/twitters-moments-will-try-to-tame-the-chaos.html?smid=nytcore-ipad-share&smprod=nytcore-ipad&_r=0
Jack Dorsey’s tenure as chief executive may ride on how well he makes the case that Twitter is useful for everyday people.
A new content destination spawned from Reddit. I actually think it's a great idea -- but for me, not a huge surprise that advertisers want to be in a "safer" content environment: https://contently.com/strategist/2015/10/06/reddit-takes-on-gawker-buzzfeed-with-upvoted/?goal=0_bc3967cef4-3ea3eca970-315510505

My thoughts on the whole social tv phenom: https://thepowerofcontent.wordpress.com/2015/10/04/social-tv-where-do-i-fit-in/
Today's NYTimes article, Social Media Takes Television Back in Time was an excellent overview of the power of social television and how it's bringing people together to watch live television again....
I'm often asked if it's ok to share content more than once on social media, and my answer is usually, "It depends, but usually not." That said, I am well aware that the lifetime of a tweet is 18 minutes so sharing the same content more than once could certainly be a good idea -- if that content is really worth sharing again. As it happens, I recently came across this article from Kissmetrics addressing the issue, and it was interesting. It said, "Awhile back, I shared the strategy my own startup uses to promote blog content on social media. Guess how many complaints we’ve received from the practice? Zero." Read the article: https://blog.kissmetrics.com/double-your-social-media-traffic/
One great way to do this is to share your content on social media more than once.
"Sometimes the folks that ideally should provide content aren’t the ones that can and do." Good article: http://www.business2community.com/content-marketing/8-tips-for-more-effective-content-marketing-planning-01318081
As with everything else in marketing, planning plays a crucial role in the success of your content marketing efforts. Once you’ve put a solid content marketing strategy in place, the ex*****on of t…
"If you’re a brand, you should be dedicating efforts to figuring out how to get your message in front of consumers without running 'ad units'. This could be in the form of 'content', 'utility', or anything else that provides some sort of value." http://www.forbes.com/sites/blakemorgan/2015/08/31/when-brands-try-too-hard-on-social-media/
Lately I've had this feeling about social media marketing. The feeling is that most people hate being marketed to on social media. From what the research tells us, this statement is true. According to Forrester brands are taking advantage of social more than ever--80% of the top 50 global brands act…

Great research on audio podcasts from Share of Ear: http://www.edisonresearch.com/podcasting-bigger-think/
In Edison’s recent edition of our Share of Ear℠ study, we released a graph showing that nearly 2% of the total time spent listening to audio was devoted to podcast listening. There were some who may have seen that figure and thought it small. It is not small. Certainly, as a “share” of audio, you …

This is a must-read about crafting social media messages for your audience, not just your product. "If I were a large brand, I would...be thinking, 'So, what do my followers want to learn?' which is a different question than, 'what do I want to tell my followers?"

Social Media: Marketing Podcast - Guy Kawasaki, chief evangelist at Canva and author of 13 books, shares tips on content marketing and social media, and discusses how to spot a winning startup.
“Social media is still media, and the key to winning at media marketing has always been to create good content. What that looks like will vary slightly from one network to the next, but content has a short shelf life on every social channel. That means that good social media content is direct, memorable, entertaining, and valuable.” (Marketo)
