New Twitter Account for Advertising

Twitter has officially debuted its advertising blog and @TwitterAds account. The profile description for this account is described as, “We Tweet for Brands.”

How Do You Use The New Blog and Twitter Account?

Both will be used to funnel the latest in Twitter’s advertising products. Furthermore, it will act as a means for Twitter to share case studies and best practices from brands that are successfully using Twitter for engagement.

From Twitter’s Advertising Blog:

Twitter’s first ad product, called Promoted Tweets, was introduced last year with six advertising partners. Since then we've added Promoted Accounts, Promoted Trends, new analytics tools and additional targeting capabilities. We’ve also grown from that small handful of initial partners to more than 1,600 brands.

On average, marketers have seen a 3-5% engagement rate for Promoted Tweets in search.

So the infamous question: Is Twitter at Its End?

Eh, I wouldn’t say Twitter is dead just yet. I think it is more a matter of Twitter trying to figure out its purpose. It isn’t the shiny new toy for fellow Internet geeks anymore. Not only is it trying to figure out its true purpose, but also how to monetize “that” purpose.

Say Goodbye to Facebook Reviews & Discussion Tabs

Facebook has announced as of October 31st, Reviews and Discussions tabs will be removed from Facebook Pages.


What is the reason for this?

Facebook explains this change is a way to make Facebook Pages better. This is their attempt to aid in making the management of your Page as effective as possible.

Additional details from Facebook include:

“We've found that the best way to encourage conversation and feedback is through posts and comments on your Wall. We've removed these tabs for now as we work on tools to help you moderate and filter content. Our goal is to help you manage everything from one powerful place. Stay tuned.”

I think this change is aligned with plans for Facebook Timeline for brands…

What are your thoughts on this change? Will this affect your Facebook community strategy?

My First Thoughts on Facebook Timeline

Announced today, Facebook is completely overhauling its profiles with Facebook Timeline.

Facebook Timeline is defined as:

The story of your life

• All your stories
• All your apps
• Express who you are

The Facebook Timeline is being portrayed as a new way to express who you are. The cover photo affords you the opportunity to tell the story of who you are without even reading anything about you. You will now be able to visually learn someone’s story just by scrolling through their timeline. For example, a traveler’s timeline versus a chef’s timeline will now jump off the page at you – pictures from around the world and snapshots of delicious food dishes.

Do I personally want to invest the time into documenting my entire life on a social network? I’m not completely convinced right now. Although I do see this as an attempt for Facebook to try to emotionally connect with me, I’m not sure that I’m ready to catalog my life.
