Short:

SOCIAL MEDIA’s popularity continues to grow, connecting people with just about everything they watch and buy. Whether it’s a brand icon inviting consumers to connect with a company on LinkedIn, a news ticker promoting an anchor’s Twitter handle or an advertise-ment asking a consumer to “Like” a product on Facebook, people are constantly being driven to social media.

The latest Nielsen insights provide some answers on exactly how powerful this influence is on consumer behavior, both online and off.In the U.S., social networks and blogs reach nearly 80 percent of active U.S. Internet users and represent the majority of Americans’ time online. The value of the time consumers spend online and on social networks and blogs continues to grow, most visible through the influence on purchase decisions. For instance, 60 percent of people who use three or more digital means of research for product purchases learned about a specific brand or retailer from a social networking site. Forty-eight percent of these consumers responded to a retailer’s offer posted on Facebook or Twitter.

As the influence of social media – and those using social media – continues to grow, it’s crucial for traditional media, retailers, brands and advertisers to understand how different consumer segments use and share content. Nielsen’s “State of the Media: The Social Media Report – Q3 2011” presents a snapshot of the current social media landscape and audiences in the U.S. and other major markets.

De Nederlandse verzekeraars lopen achter bij het inzetten van Social Media in vergelijking met andere bedrijven, de banken en buitenlandse verzekeraars. Zij laten daarbij kansen liggen om dichter bij de consumenten te komen en het vertrouwen te herstellen.

Dit is één van de belangrijke conclusies uit een breed, onafhankelijk onderzoek over Social Media in de verzekeringsbranche, een initiatief van ITDS Business Consultants uit Naarden. De interviews en metingen zijn in de eerste helft van 2011 gehouden onder 42 verzekeraars. Scoort de Nederlandse bedrijfstop 67% op Social Media, van de verzekeraars is slechts 26% op Facebook en 52% op Twitter actief.

Verder in het onderzoeksrapport analyses en visie, exclusief gericht op de verzekeringsbranche:

  • Consument centraal bij nationale en internationale cases
  • Facebook, hét nieuwe distributiekanaal, want daar zijn de klanten
  • De meerwaarde van mascottes
  • Groei mobiele websites niet gevolgd

Title: Social Media Influencers 2010
Type: Research report
Author: Fresh Networks
Opt-in: Yes
Short:

Following on from the success of our social media monitoring tools review earlier this year, we’ve been testing  nine of the leading social media monitoring tools in order to assess how effective they are at identifying influencers.

We’ve tested Attensity 360, Brandwatch, Radian6, Alterian,Scoutlabs, Sysomos, Synthesio, PeerIndex and Social Radar using the subject  of  “organic baby food” as the test topic for our report.

We felt it would be interesting to see how well each of the tools could help identify influencers for this much-discussed topic. Will the tools pick out key “mummy bloggers” and frequently visited forum posts in parenting sites such as Mumsnet and BabyCentre?

What is Twitter, a Social Network or a News Media? (by KAIST) [English]

Title: What is Twitter, a Social Network or a News Media?
Type: Research Report
Author: Department of Computer Science, KAIST
Opt-in: No
Short:

Twitter, a microblogging service less than three years old, commands more than 41 million users as of July 2009 and is growing fast. Twitter users tweet about any topic within the 140-character limit and follow others to receive their tweets. The goal of this paper is to study the topological characteristics of Twitter and its power as a new medium of information sharing.

We have crawled the entire Twitter site and obtained 41.7 million user profiles, 1.47 billion social relations, 4,262 trending topics, and 106 million tweets. In its follower-following topology analysis we have found a non-power-law follower distribution, a short effective diameter, and low reciprocity, which all mark a deviation from known characteristics of human social networks~\cite{Newman03}. In order to identify influentials on Twitter, we have ranked users by the number of followers and by PageRank and found two rankings to be similar. Ranking by retweets differs from the previous two rankings, indicating a gap in influence inferred from the number of followers and that from the popularity of one’s tweets. We have analyzed the tweets of top trending topics and reported on their temporal behavior and user participation. We have classified the trending topics based on the active period and the tweets and show that the majority (over 85%) of topics are headline news or persistent news in nature. A closer look at retweets reveals that any retweeted tweet is to reach an average of 1,000 users no matter what the number of followers is of the original tweet. Once retweeted, a tweet gets retweeted almost instantly on next hops, signifying fast diffusion of information after the 1st retweet.

To the best of our knowledge this work is the first quantitative study on the entire Twittersphere and information diffusion on it
