We have put together a short survey about your social media marketing efforts. Whether you are already using Facebook and Twitter to promote your business or just considering it, we want to hear from you. The survey should only take a few minutes and provide valuable feedback to the social media community.

All respondents will receive a complete report with analysis and key survey findings. And if that isn’t enough, we are also awarding a $100 Amazon gift card to one of the first 30 to respond. So make your voice heard and submit the survey today!

Who should take this survey:

• Business owners or marketers responsible for promoting a service or product
• Marketers who have implemented a social media campaign or are considering it
• Business owners who have questions about social media’s ROI
• Business owners or marketing professionals who are eager to voice their qualified opinions about social media

For the first time, social media platforms were included in recent reports on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI). The platforms included Facebook, MySpace, Wikipedia and YouTube. ForeSee Results recently released their Annual E-Business Report that  highlighted the surveys key findings. continue

Last month I had the opportunity to meet several leading clothing and footwear manufacturers at the OEN PubTalk. It was an interesting discussion so I decided to create a Facebook Page Analysis of footwear and apparel brands on Facebook. Below are the results. I would love to hear your feedback and thoughts about effective ways brands are connecting with you on Facebook.

TechCrunch is one of my all-time favorite blogs. TechCrunch has attracted some very insightful industry leaders from diverse backgrounds including: Venture Capital, Entrepreneurs, CEOs, Engineers and market insiders. Last weekend they invited Adam Rifkin to post his views about Facebook.

I think Facebook may have the perfect combination of user critical mass, smart engineers and a culture of empowering good ideas. They also have several revenue streams to fund it all. Below I have embedded Mr. Rifkin’s TechCrunch post below because I couldn’t do a better  analysis myself. I’d love to hear your feedback and hope you enjoy the read.
