"This is good a good read. I especially like the advice to serve your people. I talk to so many people who think being one the web is great for their business because now they can market to everyone in the world. The key to remember is that just because you can doesn't mean you should."The Five Biggest Mistakes in Measuring Social Media
"Excellent post. Although I think in some circumstances looking at followers can be beneficial. For example if another website mentions my Twitter account and links to it, I have no way of tracking how much traffic is being generated as Twitter doesn't offer analytics, however, if I get 100 new followers within an hour of the link going up and typically only average 20 new followers a day I can infer that the link generated some decent exposure to my account. I think the biggest mistake when measuring success of anything is not knowing why you use a particular metric."Promote your small business Website with StumbleUpon
"I have not tracked it well enough to give data but I agree with Shawn the value of stumbleupon is in the return visit.

"I think that although this article brings out some good points I also think that if the point of social media is to find and connect with like minded people, and you end up following a bunch of people then send information your not interested in then you should probably look at how you use social media (since your the one following them). In regards to the trending topics although they can be spammed they generally reflect what others are talking about and not necessarily your interests. It would be nice if Twitter added a your network trending topics. I would love to see more companies in social media working towards social good, in fact I would also like to see more non-profits running campaigns like the moonfruit one and getting thousands of people involved in doing good I'd follow them even if they were used to get on the trending topics, because I like those types of campaigns and I like to encourage others to discuss them. Thanks for the thought provoking post."Subscribe
