Twitter Is The Social Media Platform Of Choice For Fortune Global 500 Companies
Burson-Marsteller recently released the results of a survey they conducted to determine where companies engage the most using social media tools. The study indicates that 79 percent of the largest 100 companies in the Fortune Global 500 index are using at least one of the most popular social media platforms: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or corporate blogs.
It’s interesting to find that companies are not just posting and tweeting randomly. Real conversations are going on.
For an evidence-based approach to social media, the reports suggest the following 9 tips:
1. Monitor your own, and your competitors, social media presence.
2. Get top management “buy-in”.
3. Develop a social media strategy.
4. Define and publish a social media policy.
5. Develop internal structure.
6. Contribute to the community.
7. Participate in good times and in bad.
8. Be perpared to respond in real time.
9. Beyond monitoring, measure the impact of social media engagement.
You don’t have to be a big company to harness the power of social media engagement. The rules are the same for any size business. In fact, social media has leveled the playing field in such a way that a small company or individual can have the same kind of reach as a bigger company by using social media tools. But you do have to follow the rules. If you are the top management then you must agree with yourself that you will be committed to using the social media tools you select. Do publish your social media policy even if you are the only one who will see it at first. This will give you a guide to help you remember what you said you would do. Don’t think that just because your business is local that you don’t have competitors. You do. Social media tools provide a great way of finding out what they are doing.
So, what is your social media tool of choice? How is your engagement through that channel improving your business outcomes? Have you performed a social media checkup lately?

hi i submitted a remark a while back on the subject of exactly how to speed up my twilight eclipse site’s load time due to the fact we utilized the same theme back then and somebody left a comment answering it on my site days ago – if that was you I simply wanted to say many thanks, and if it wasn’t you then i’m sorry to bother you, but thanks anyway!
the perfect post. Just like what you said. I have nothing to add. I’d like to elaborate a bit. This post is so well written it’s almost perfection itself. I feel that if a leave a comment it will stain the carpet and mess the overall grandeur of the blog. I beat a hasty retreat. But I come again to check how the author responds to commenters.
Very shorts, simple and easy to understand, bet some more comments from your side would be great.
Nice work buddy! Some of these are classics!
Hello! your http://www.blumorphomarketing.net/2010/02/twitter-is-the-social-media-platform-of-choice-for-fortune-global-500-companies is fantastic. I utilize the same exact template on my website yet unfortunately for whatever weird reasons it would seem to reload more rapidly on yours although yours has a whole lot more material. Are you currently implementing any sort of plugins or widgets which will speed it up? Do you think you could quite possibly show the plugins so maybe I can use them in my webpage so twilight breaking dawn users could watch twilight eclipse online trailers and videos a lot quicker I’d personally be grateful (you get my email
). Below is my website. http://www.europeanpowerconverter.net/blog/ac-power-converter/

Your blog doesn’t look right in Lynx. Maybe your theme? But other than that, I’m going to say this isnt the first I’ve seen this. But yes, it’s pretty much the way it is and the way it will be. wty1d8

How-do-you-do, just needed you to know I have added your site to my Google bookmarks because of your extraordinary blog layout. But seriously, I think your site has one of the freshest theme I’ve came across. It really helps make reading your blog a lot easier.
What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so many things that come from nowhere that Im pretty sure Id have a fair shot. Your blog is great visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic.
I really enjoyed your article and would like to know if I provide a link back to your site if I can use your article on one of my sites?

Thank you for a very clear and helpful post. I am definitely a violator of many of these rules. I often find myself conflicted when writing a blog post because I see myself writing more than people want to read, but I feel that I have to do the subject matter justice by thoroughly covering it. I feel that by following some of these rules I end up cutting out important aspects to the discussion. I guess you have to find a balance.
What I dont understand is how youre not even more popular than you are now. Youre just so intelligent. You know so much about this subject, made me think about it from so many different angles. Its like people arent interested unless it has something to do with Lady Gaga! Your stuffs great. Keep it up!
Thank you for the great post – I had fun reading it! I always enjoy this blog.
The blog was absolutely fantastic! Lots of great information and inspiration, both of which we all need!
