Is it the Re-Tweet process or the Re Tweet count that is important?

on 2 June, 2011 No comments as yet -

Recently it became very apparent that increasing folk are doing a bunch of re-tweeting. Obviously Twitter, looking to exceed the floatation values of LinkedIn and GroupOn combined, would like you to re-tweet until the cows come home.

According to a major burger chain that is unlikely as they have a new recipe which is based on home grown stock rather than African imports ;)

I have posed a question on LinkedIn asking for feedback on What’s your over riding attitude to the re-tweeting of others tweets?

BUT this survey misses the most important point… I put it to you that the re-tweeting process is not what is important, it is the visual impact a story has if it has been re-tweeted that matters.

A page showing 2 re-tweets makes you go “Well!” in a sympathetic way… a page that says 2000 re-tweets makes you go “WELL!!!” these guys are like way popular, I must get to know them ;)

I guess you could add a zero to your invoice if you rock the re-tweet world?

Go compare our LinkedIn event, now has 6 shares on LinkedIn, so looking a little more important than it did with 2, with those re-tweets over at Mashable.

Even if people like what we do, which they do, they may be unsure how to use the “share” button… we’d best ensure we teach our workshop attendees using our event promotion page button ;)

They also may not feel motivated to join in such a small re-tweeting gang… not even a gang, just a few appreciative folk…

Social Media Directors retweets

While over at Mashable they have a bunch of stories that are being redistributed around the planet every second of every day, with “likes”, “shares” and “re-tweets” coming out of their ears… if 100+ have liked something then you’d better make sure you do too, if you want to be “in with the in crowd” that is…

Mashable retweeting

Is there a playground theme running through all this?

I hope you can join us for our next LinkedIn workshop on the 24th June, take a look at the detail at www.howtouselinkedin.co.uk or call me for more information.

Thank you.

So how do we achieve our goal?

Your ideas for increasing YouTube channel viewers are most welcome… please view our BinB News Channel and then offer your ideas for boosting viewers below… we’ll top up with logical things we are trying as we go… thank you.

Social influence, what’s your stock worth?

empire avenue jon davey share price

Today I was introduced to Empire Avenue by my new pal Troy Janisch… what a whole bunch of fun that is going to be ;)

I’ve been doing web stuff for 10 years and we currently main line in “Websites that SHINE from LiaiseOnline” and social media workshops with a strong leaning towards LinkedIn, with our How to use LinkedIn for Business workshop.

I run a couple of groups on LinkedIn. One for a community we started back in 2001, Business in Berkshire. The LinkedIn Group was started a couple of years back to act as the discussion space for our members and a place for us to engage with potential new members. The other we started more recently as a place for Social Media Directors to hang out and share their greatness ;)

Today Troy, who works for a big US insurance firm, added an article about Empire Avenue pitching it up just so…

Peddling Influence: Daytrading tips for Empire Avenue

If you’re ‘in the market’ for social influence, then Empire Avenue may be the destination of choice. If so, here are some helpful tips for daytrading. Empire Avenue is a popular ‘social influence’ stock market game. It allows you to peddle the social influence by buying and selling shares of social media…

I had a click and it took me into the billion dollar virtual world of online gaming… but this is real fun and I have got to learn more… my stock is flying… snap shot at 13 but now heading for 19 Eaves, the local currency…

I would normally obviously add the link to Troy’s article above but I want you to use MY link to visit Empire Avenue and start building your own value… as we both get some bonus Eaves to buy like tons of stock and maybe some virtual sweets that will make us like virtually fat!

Gosh… if this is what virtual dollars feel like I don’t think I could handle the real thing ;)

Go give it a spin… www.empireavenue.com
