One out of every seven people in the world has a Facebook page. Nearly four in five active Internet users visit social networks and blogs. Accordingly, marketers are flocking to the medium.

Some brands have embraced the notion that social platforms like Twitter allow constant interaction, for better or worse, with their customers. Others have turned away from some strains of social media, as General Motors did last spring when it stopped advertising on Facebook while raising questions about the return on its investment.

Social Media Advertising Consortium. Feds issue rules for social media and small screen ads — Twitter and bloggers take note. The Federal Trade Commission issued new guidelines on Tuesday to encourage better disclosures in online ads.
The rules, intended to protect consumers from confusion, come at a time when so-called “content marketing” and “native advertising” are soaring in popularity. The FTC announced the rules in a release stating the agency has updated its 2000 guide, “Dotcom Dislosures,” in order to take account of smaller media screens and the rise of social marketing.
The agency emphasized that traditional disclosure rules, which cover media like radio and television, apply to all forms of the online space as well. These longstanding rules prevent marketers from hiding key terms of an offer and require them to reveal if someone has been paid to endorse a product. The new FTC report contains 22 examples at the end that illustrate how marketers can fall afoul of the rules in the mobile and social media context. 5 Essential Elements Of A Great Twitter Content Strategy. What’s your Twitter strategy?
If you tried answering this question with “Ummm, we tweet a lot, and we use hashtags,” that’s not good enough. To be successful on Twitter – whether you’re tweeting on behalf of a Fortune 500, the small mom-and-pop down the streed or your own personal brand – you need a well-articulated content strategy that covers the who, what, when, why and how. Who is tweeting? Who are you tweeting to? The question of who should be one of the first ones you answer when coming up with your Twitter strategy. You may be a one-person social media shop, and so you’ll be tweeting on behalf of, well, yourself; or you might be part of a 12-person team representing a major brand. If you’re clear about who will be managing the Twitter account off the bat, you won’t run into as many roadblocks when you go to launch a specific campaign, or when two people send conflicting tweets because they didn’t know who was supposed to be manning the account at that time.
