Timothy Goleman, April 8, 2016I just mentioned this the past week that Live Video on Facebook needs to be rolled out to more than just those who use Facebook Mentions. It was like the Facebook Gods were listening to me! They have rolled it out to Groups and Events. What did they release? “Going live” on Facebook feels special […]
Timothy Goleman, April 7, 2016Yesterday Twitter announced a new way to send Tweets to someone. “Starting today, you’ll notice something new on Tweets — a Message button. With this new feature, it’s simple to share a Tweet via Direct Message and spark a private conversation” is what Twitter said! As you can see by the gif above it’s a […]
Timothy Goleman, April 6, 2016Video is one of the biggest things happening in the world of Facebook. Video content will continue to grow over the next few years. This is evident by Periscope and to some extent Meerkat. People are wanting to watch live video from people and brands they follow. It seems its a race to see who […]
Timothy Goleman, April 5, 2016In a recent study postd by Emarketer they asked SMB professionals what metrics they used for success. Of the people surveyed, 51% said Views were the measure of success of a social campaign. While views are important they are not the end all be all of social media metrics.

There were ton’s of people posting “Turn on notifications.” in their streams. Granted I didn’t see any big brands, kudos to you for not panicking! First, […]
Timothy Goleman, March 22, 2016It has been said you go to Facebook to see what happened and to Twitter to see what is happening. This has been evident in the Arab Spring movement.

Timothy Goleman, March 17, 2016One might say that Instagram just jumped the shark. This week they announced they will be using a algorithm based news feed. Similar to what Facebook has now. I will admit that the unfettered feed of Instagram is one thing I really loved about the social network. It was like Twitter and in chronological order. […]
Timothy Goleman, March 15, 2016While I was gone, Facebook rolled out the Reactions. Reactions are a way for you to do more than like a post. It has a set of six emojis. They represent Like, Love HaHa, Wow, Sad and Angry. Sometimes one of these is more appropriate for you or your fans to use. If someone posts they […]
Timothy Goleman, January 20, 201620 Let me preface this by saying this is by Locowise. Which is a social media analytics company. I always take these with a grain of salt when someone is selling.
