New Facebook Group Feature

Jason Markow posted a great article last week on Social Media Today about the new Facebook group feature. This contains a short video explanation and (not 9, not 11, but) 10 tips on using the feature effectively. I am going to give this a shot.

LinkedIn is OnBoard with PeerReview

One more flashback to earlier post The Metrics Can Change the Message, Too. Looking at the new features rolled out by LinkedIn, they get it, too: peer reviews make great metrics.

Corrections and Extensions: Metrics Part Deaux *and* Extra Medium

A couple of follow ups:

1. As to The Metrics Can Change the Message, Too on 7/10/2010– I missed a great resource to link to. Check out The 10 Social Media Metrics Your Company Should Monitor at the Social Times site. Some great lesson and observations on measuring the effectiveness of social media initiatives.
2. As to The Medium Can Change the Message on 6/25/2010 – Apologies to my large and small friends who took offense to being excluded in the title. I will get right to work on a follow up piece, "The Large and Small Can Change It, Too." And in anticipation of their protests, as well, I will begin research on behalf of my extra medium friends. There, anyone not happy now?

Come get me, Mother. I'm through.

Article Link: 25 Ways to Engage Contacts in Social Media

I read this article today and I have to admit that my expectations of my own performance on the 25 points was pretty low. I was tickled to see that I am in very good shape (discliamer: self-assessment!) on

11 of them!

If I had much interest in {yawn} Twitter, I would have racked up another 3 or 4. Take a look and see how you are doing and ask yourself how you can do more to engage learners through effective social media.

Come get me, Mother. I'm through.

p.s. OK, who's humming Paul Simon while reading that post?
