Many, many articles are written on social media and social media marketing. How you should do it personally, how you should do it as a company, trends, what is hot etc. And social media like Twitter and LinkedIn are used to spread the links. As an online professional interested in consumer behavior, social media is of special interest to me and I try to keep track of the publications. For my own and for your use, I’ve gathered some here and added a short summary, so you can easily see if it’s relevant for you. I will keep this list up to date by keeping only the most recent and relevant links.
- Trends
- Strategies
- Tips and Tricks
- Measurement of success
- Social media feedback, frustrations and observations
- Live tweets on social media
