“Very few of your fans see your content in their news feed and even fewer people are seeking out your page. This is yet another reason you’re better off linking to your campaigns from everywhere.” Read the full article.
Today social media is much more than Facebook, it is about connecting on a variety of platforms, blogging, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, YouTube, and your website. With our new social media programs for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn we work to create a strategy that is not Facebook-centric but rather works synergistically with your website and your social message.
Our social media specialists decide topics we will use for the week or month and focus on what hashtags and focus we will take across all the platforms we write for in your project. With cross-linking and cohesive hashtagging across properties, we strive to build more than just likes to a Facebook page, but rather a cohesive message across all platforms that helps to win you additional online exposure.

Shorter may be better and get more attention – sometimes.
What’s the perfect sized tweet? Is 140 characters too much? Who says that a longer tweets are better, are they really? In an article found online at Buffer, I’ve found what one author says is the perfect length for everything. But are those tips and suggestions right?
Here’s my personal recommendations on what works best for Twitter based on what I have seen and customer response.
Twitter – what’s the perfect tweet length?
Although Twitter only let’s you enter in 140 characters including spaces do you ever wish you had more room? Sure, but less room? Kevan Lee says the perfect tweet is 100 characters and that these short tweets get 17% more engagement. I have to say that from my experience tweets that are this short typically are teasers for videos, spam, or sharable quotes.
Does that mean that you should start shortening your tweets? I say no, but make your tweets work harder by linking or pointing to something meaningful to your audience. If you have a great link to share and can be concise with a great teaser in 100 characters, go for it, but if you need more room insert your link early in the tweet to see just how much space you’ll have to sell it.
If you have not upgraded your Twitter profile page yet, on May 28th you are getting the new look regardless according to Twitter.
So, what’s to like about the new profile?
1. Wow, it is much more interesting to view and moves Twitter from mainly being accessed through third party tools to now a venue of interest. With such visual appeal, I appear to be spending my time here over Facebook!
2. I love the new cover look and the new layout is much more stimulating visually.
3. I like the sidebar showing photos and video thumbnails on the left as well as the top level navigation sorting my updates tweets, replies, cool thumbnails of follower sites, and following sites.
4. I like the option to pin tweets, star favorites (the new way to say thank you for retweeting or mentioning you in a tweet).
5. But for me, mainly it is the navigation and new look of my account that actually makes me want to click into Twitter and not just post through HootSuite. That says a lot right there!
Twitter wants to become a venue just like Facebook where users login to interact, spend more time connecting and viewing updates, and not just send content there through third party apps. If Twitter can get you on the page, they can more effectively serve ads and build revenue.
The layout is slick, clean, uncluttered, and very eye appealing.
