Foursquare promote Events

Foursquare promote Events | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Manage a business? Now you can add events like trivia nights, wine tastings, and book signings to Foursquare

 

The idea is to help businesses better and promote their unique offerings. Events also allow customers to share, via check in, that they’re not just visiting a venue, but experiencing something special.

What Happens Every 60 Seconds In Social Media? [INFOGRAPHIC]

What Happens Every 60 Seconds In Social Media? [INFOGRAPHIC] | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest – What Happens Every 60 Seconds In Social Media?

 

Some very interesting information:

 

**Did you know that every 60 seconds Twitter sees (on average) 175,000 new tweets?

 

**Over that same time period, Pinterest receives 1,090 visitors

 

**LinkedIn absorbs 7,610 searches

 

**Flickr users upload 3,125 photos?

 

 **If you think those numbers are impressive, how about this: each and every minute of the day, 700,000 messages are sent on Facebook

 

** two million videos are watched on YouTube.

 

What caught my attention - sometimes the comments are just as interesting if not more than the actual content itself:

Misleading and inaccurate.

 

You cite an article on Foursquare from AUGUST, then round DOWN. They get over five million check ins per day: http://mashable.com/2012/02/28/foursquare-hq-tour/ — so double what you’ve presented here.

 

Jumpstart was very apologetic and said they're trying to be as accurate as possible. Point being, these infographics are great to look at and give us an approximation of what's actually happening, trying to keep the facts straight, not an easy task for sure:-)

 

This data is courtesy of a new infographic from marketing consultancy firm Social Jumpstart, which takes a closer look and tries to be as accurate as possible at what happens in social media every 60 seconds.
