No feeds. +Visitors should be able to find all of the official social media from +the planet. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + +I have additional views. Please consider them! + + +WHY DOES SOCIAL MEDIA MATTER? + +Blogs are often "vanity" or "hobby" projects and update quite slowly. +Even once a day is slow. We're not in the 90's any more. In general, +people will read blogs as a one-off reference or source of information. + +As a trend, people don't revisit blogs often, because they don't expect +anything to change. + +FB/G+/Twitter/identi.ca/Diaspora are very busy and update often, so +revisiting regularly becomes a habit for users. In this way, the social +sites are more popular and "sticky" than any blog. For marketing +purposes we should always remember this! These sites are more useful +than blogs. + +Nearly all big companies are spending time, energy and money on social +media. They know they need a presence on these sites. They have good +reason for this. Exposure. Being noticed and growing the brand. These +companies are not spending much time and money on blogs because blogs +don't bring them more customers. It's worth noticing this fact! + + +SMART USE OF ENERGY + +If time and energy (and money) are valuable, we should use them +efficiently. We should: Use social media for sharing news and marketing. +Post news on the official Mageia blog and post links to it on all social +media. + +Social media posts are more likely to be shared. It's easier for users. +It spreads the news faster, with less work for us! + +Use any other blogs for long articles or personal opinions/ off topic +articles. People's blogs are wonderful, vital parts of the community but +should not be treated as part of the official brand. Let's not lose +track of which things are "Mageia brand" and which are "community +contributions". + + +FORUMS + +We REALLY should use the forums as much as possible because they seem +almost dead to newcomers. Why are we using mailing lists when we can +have sections/threads in the forums? There is a lot more we can do on +the forums. And we should be checking in daily! ;) + +Did you visit the forum today? + +Most people coming to Mageia will visit the forums before they visit IRC +or anyone's blogs. The forums are a top-link on the main Mageia website +and should be treated as important. The planet should be linked there +too and the planet needs to give social media more importance! + +The planet should be a hub to all social media. Blogs are just one type. + + +BOTTOM LINE + +Please take social media seriously. Please don't spend *too* much time +on blogs. Please spend more time on the forums guys! + + +Thank you for your time. + +loqo + + + + +</PRE> + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000714.html">[Mageia-marketing] Google+ on Planet Mageia +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000716.html">[Mageia-marketing] Apology/credentials +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#715">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#715">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#715">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#715">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing">More information about the Mageia-marketing +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
