Social Networks

I am not going to drop names here but there are quite a few celebrities with 1,000,000+ followers who only follow a handful of people. Many twitterers agree that their tweets are worthless. Yet people continue to follow them out of curiosity. It doesn’t mean however that their influence is very strong.

Sure, there are @techcrunch and @mashable, each with over 1,000,000 followers. Both are very worth following. But on each TechCrunch there are hundreds of celebrities and buffoons whose tweets are absolutely useless.

On another hand, there is @GuyKawasaki who doesn’t have 1,000,000 followers yet. But his influence is much bigger on social networks than that of many celebrities.

So the social influence is not a question of a followers-to-friends ratio, rather it’s ameasurement of reach and engagement.

…the majority of top keywords are not related to super-cool gadgets and uber-hot cars. Those top searches are related to people and social networks.

… 7 out of 10 top searches are related to people searches and social networks, yet again. I don’t divide people-related searches and searches for social networks, because social networks are nothing more and nothing less than different ways for people to communicate with each other…

There are thousands of social networks, and soon there will be millions of them. And each has its own face, each one could be considred a “person” in its own right…

this particular type of searches takes a huge share of any search pie. And of course there are many companies that gladly take a piece of this lucrative action..

One company… gives people (for free) their own small “search engines” targeting different people-related search queries, with 9 built-in income streams.

If you want one of those, you can grab it here: Your Own People Search Engine.

…You can blog with micro-blogs, status updates, or full-blown articles. Your blog can contain audio files (podcasting) or video files (vlogging, short for video blogging). Or it could be a combination of all the above mentioned types, and then some…

…Did I find some magic bullets? Do I practice technological voodoo? Do I implement black-hat SEO tricks?

You need to have your own voice, something that differentiate you from the crowd and that makes your followers to pay attention to your tweets in the ever-growing noise of main Twitter stream.

.. it becomes obvious that popularity of short messages and their corresponding delivery formats (such as mini-blogs) are not going anywhere. They are staying for a long term, and, if anything, they might only get shorter.

There are many online services that offer url-shortening…
Yet they all lack one very significant benefit. They don’t reward you with additional traffic…
