Hey there, MK here! It’s time for another social media wrap-up! First and foremost, we’ve added a new page to our own website that has a ton of useful social media marketing resources. Check it out! We’ll be adding a lot of stuff to it, so check back often for more social media goodness.

Two articles really jumped out at me this week. So, without further ado:

Another exec leaving Myspace, this is not at all shocking. I remember in 2005, Myspace was THE place to be….complete with its awful user interface. I will admit that sometimes I will venture over to Myspace to check out a band, but I don’t even have an account up anymore. All my contacts are on Facebook and LinkedIn, so that is where I am as well. But I suppose they will keep trying…they being the few Myspace execs left. Will it work? Who knows. That’s the thing about social media- it’s always changing and mutating. You gotta stay up on this stuff!

I’m really enjoying this article. Basically don’t take for granted that looking at charts and counting your campaign retweets will tell you everything. Set some goals and follow up on them as well. Look at exactly what metrics you need to be monitoring and don’t waste your time on the rest. Look at things from another angle and get creative!

And finally, I’m taking a look at what’s trending on Twitter right now. You know, I haven’t watched more than 10 seconds of the NBA finals and yet, I know exactly who’s on what team and how each are doing just by looking at my Twitter feed. I love that because of social media, I can have a (somewhat) intelligent conversation with my boyfriend about the finals having not watched  a single moment of it. Haha!

OK, that’s the end of this edition of Social Media Friday- have a great weekend!
