When you are a diet and want to succeed, what do you do? Well, social scientists advise you to 'talk about food!' Here are dad and me doing a little more than talking.
Here is what we are talking about today:
“This infographic from Craig Newmark—yes, the Craig of Craigslist—delves into the ways the nation’s 50 largest nonprofits handle social media. And by largest, it’s referring to the highest-earning nonprofits.
For instance, 92 percent of these nonprofits have at least one social media button on their homepages, and the most popular of those buttons is one for Facebook. “
“One of the first questions that people ask when we discuss our social media services is “why should we use infographics?” As our partners at Column Five Media say, “Data Visualization communicates information to a large audience. Knowledge is power, but how do we make knowledge powerful?”
Their answer (and we agree) is through data visualizations.”
“Consumers are spending more time than ever using social media, as demonstrated in the Social Media Report recently published by Nielsen and NM Incite, a Nielsen/McKinsey company. Building on this report, research by NM Incite helps uncover what impacts social media may have for marketers trying to build their brands and connect with their audience more directly.
Social media plays an important role in how consumers discover, research, and share information about brands and products. In fact 60 percent of consumers researching products through multiple online sources learned about a specific brand or retailer through social networking sites. Active social media users are more likely to read product reviews online, and 3 out of 5 create their own reviews of products and services. Women are more likely than men to tell others about products that they like (81% of females vs. 72% of males). Overall, consumer-generated reviews and product ratings are the most preferred sources of product information among social media users.”
“Gottlieb, 37, made the decision to become a single parent after years of searching for Mr. Right. Four years later, when she still hadn’t found him, she decided to take a good look at her dating habits—and the dating habits of women around her—to see if the problem is not a dearth of good men but rather women’s expectations of them. Gottlieb finds that women want it all—and often aren’t willing to compromise on their list of traits their ideal mate must have. In their twenties, many women leave good relationships based on an elusive feeling that they could find something more with someone else, and they regret it down the road when their choices dwindle. It’s not that women aren’t willing to settle; it’s that many refuse to recognize that their vision of the perfect man doesn’t match reality. With the help of dating coach Evan Marc Katz, Gottlieb reconsidered her own standards in the hope of finding happiness. Gottlieb’s honest, astute analysis will resonate with many women and make them uneasy as they recognize themselves in her experiences and those of the women she interviews. Gottlieb makes a strong case in this groundbreaking work. –Kristine Huntley “
