Social Media After Death of Vine - Curagami

Social Media After Death of Vine - Curagami | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

Social Media - Embrace The Suck
Turns out marketing and war have a lot in common as this Curagami post shares. Twitter is reeling in pain and social media marketing is entering the BIG SHAKEOUT period. 

Don't question, judge or cry too much. Grab you Vines, put them on YouTube and (or the best of 'em anyway) and move on. Remember nobody knows nothing and watch your ego and hubris enough to keep betting without the false belief you've found any lasting truth or repeatable pattern. 

Life after Vine's death and the Big Shakeout is going to, as the Marines say, embrace the suck. Find out why on Curagami:

Social Media Tipping Point Is Behind Us...Maybe @Lays Tweet For Swag

Social Media Tipping Point Is Behind Us...Maybe @Lays Tweet For Swag | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
Social Media Tipping Point Is Behind Us: Lays Puts Tweet For Swag on  Bags of Chips & Needs Curagami Because ....
Yesterday I noticed a bright red banner… - Martin W. Smith - Google+
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

We know Social Media is a CONVERSATION. One of my most popular @HaikuDecks is It's The Conversation Stupid (http://shar.es/MmhkM). At first I took Lays "Tweet For Swag" campaign as a sign we are beyond the social media tipping point.

Now, almost an hour after 4 @Lays tweets with no response I think maybe not so much. As I noted in this G+ post maybe the day BIG BRANDS wake up and listen more than they talk is the 7th sign and the end of the world is moments away. Let's hope NOT.

I noted our Triangle Startup Factory funded startup Curagami (http://www.curagami.com) could help and YES that's a tad self serving, but Big Brands think they are creating community today. Actually they wouldn't recognize a true online community if it walked up and introduced itself.

"We sell chips," woiuld surely be their retort. We KNOW THAT and would like to interact with you Mr. Frito or Mr. Lays...you truly and honestly IN or are you just trying to stuff more chips down our throat? BBQ if you are stuffing :).

Social and Mobile Got A THING Going On: Six Social-Digital Trends for 2013

Social and Mobile Got A THING Going On: Six Social-Digital Trends for 2013 | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

Social Media Today 2013 SMM Trends.


Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Here is my favorite section of this post:


The Smobile Web Social + mobile = "smobile." While there's no real insight in pointing out that both mobile and social are going to be big in 2013, I believe they're becoming co-dependent, and most businesses aren't ready for that.


A smobile Web means your customers, coworkers and colleagues expect their digital experiences will be optimized for mobile/social sharing and as a result spend less time tethered to a PC or television.The technology for this is evolving rapidly.


Social and mobile got a THING goin' on in 2013.

10 Social Marketing Lessons From Banksy via @Curagami | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

Banksy, a grafitti artist, is a powerful social marketer. Banksy's art blew up New York teaching ten online marketing lessons for those wise enough to see including:

  1. Live By A Single Rule: If Your Content Is Generating Shares DO MORE.
  2. Other “Control Rules” Are Gone.
  3. Use existing distribution systems, but turn them upside down.
  4. Create EVENTS and content people will CHASE and SHARE.
  5. Get THEM to do YOUR work for YOU.
  6. Keep some secrets as long as possible.
  7. Whatever happens is all good as long as Rule #1 still applies.
  8. Use the Internet and social media to amplify content & events.
  9. Define deadlines because deadlines heighten the web’s amplification.
  10. Rinse & Repeat


Are people racing around NYC to see your latest work? If no then steal some social marketing tips from one of the world's best - Banksy.

Irina Mk's curator insight, November 25, 2014 5:16 AM

Le Marketing social selon Banksy... Règle 6 : garder des secrets le plus longtemps possible. La règle la plus importante ? Peut-être car nous avons tendance à vouloir "tout" dévoiler sur le web participatif. Mais gardons un peu de mystère.... Le mystère attire et attise la curiosité.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Wrote this piece after having great conversations with lawyers in Raleigh about what they did and didn't understand about Internet marketing. The interesting part of thise conversations was what many of my lawyer friends thought they knew they didn't and what they thought they didn't know they weren't as far away as they thought. 

Welcome to the strange serendipity and mystery wrapped in enigma that is Internet marketing my legal brothers and sisters.

The Social Patient: How Social Media Marketing Is Changing Health Care

The Social Patient: How Social Media Marketing Is Changing Health Care | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

The social tsunami is here bringing a need for speed and less brand control. The Social Patient is about how health care providers can surf the social media wave instead of being drowned by it. 

donhornsby's curator insight, December 16, 2012 7:42 AM

(From the article): This ScentTrail Marketing piece on how social media marketing is changing health care is not about a place. The Social Patient is about an attitude, a dangerous attitude. It is NOT an attitude health care providers don't know about. What most health care providers are unaware of is the size and speed of The Social Patient tsunami that is hitting now.
