Social Networks

Social media is not just a way to communicate with your friends or market your products or services. Not anymore.

Now we can talk about social media marketing, social media politics, social media research, social media support, social media dating, and many other things.

So what exactly can we do with social media when we have it at our disposal as a universal remote control? The list is really diverse, from marketing to political riots (as recent history taught us).

Your actions will be based on recommendations of people who have a certain relationship with you. Of course you can take a recommendation from a recent follower with a grain of salt since s/he can have an alternative motive. But if the same recommendation comes from many followers, and is echoed by some of your social friends.

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.
