5 Reasons Why Facebook Places Won’t Succeed

Perhaps you have heard of Facebook Places.  If not, your one sentence summary is this: Facebook has introduced a new service that will allow users to "check in" to places and share their location with their friends. The majority of speculation from those watching this roll out is that it is going to destroy other location based services like Foursquare, Gowalla, Whrll, Loopt, etc.  I don't think it will, and I'll give you five reason why I think this. First, let's start with one reason, and one reason only,that Facebook Places might succeed: they have a user base of over 500 million.  The sheer volume of that might let it see life into 2011. Now, on to why I think Facebook Places is nothing short of "meh".
  1. A terrible launch. The big announcement came in late yesterday afternoon to much fan fare. Twitter blew up with the announcement, and every social media news outlet ran practically moment-by-moment coverage.  The noise was made, and people noticed.  The immediate reaction was predictable, "I want to try it", shouted the masses.  But there was a big problem...nobody knew how or where to use it! In fact, out of 40,000+ total mentions that I tracked using Row Feeder, practically none of them actually talked about using the product; they only talked about the announcement and how/if this would affect Foursquare.

  2. Confusing Application Update. The official Facebook blog simply told us that it would be working in "the most recent version" of the Facebook iPhone app.  According to my phone and the iTunes store on it, I did have the most recent version, but I still didn't have "Places" anywhere on it. Once I finally did get the correct version today (which only described "bug fixes" as the update), I clicked the Places button as was met with a message that "this feature will be available in your region soon". Just so you know, my "region" is Los Angeles.  Perhaps you've heard of it, Facebook? I heard reports from San Francisco and other major metropolitan areas that it wasn't available there either. Where did they launch it exactly...Duluth? [caption id="attachment_1881" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Facebook Places Was Not Available In Many Major Cities at Launch"]Facebook Places Was Not Available In Many Major Cities at Launch[/caption]
  3. Too Many Privacy Concerns. Let's face it...Facebook has an issue with privacy, or at least the perception of privacy.  When Open Graph was announced, everybody clamored to try and figure out how to opt out.  Now that Places is here, most of the articles I'm seeing talked about are "how to" guides for shutting down Places and its sharing abilities.  Facebook started off as a private network that has become increasingly public.  Bottom line, I don't think people on Facebook really want to share where they are all of the time.
  4. [caption id="attachment_1888" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Even on a Facebook Wall the Foursquare Check In is More Exciting than the Facebook Places Check In"][/caption] What's In It For Me? Nothing. I had access to Facebook Places for less than 10 minutes before I came to the conclusion that it's boring.  And by boring I mean...why in the world would I want to use it? One thing that keeps me checking in to Foursquare everywhere I go is the competition and the rewards.  When I check into a local watering hole and somebody else is the Mayor...well, I don't like it.  It makes me want to come back more and oust them. Childish? Yes.  Effective? Also yes.  With Foursquare I also get badges for achievements.  I unlocked the "Zoetrope" badge over the weekend when I took my kids to a movie over the weekend, and it made me happy! Facebook Places appears to give me...nothing.  Am I supposed to be excited that I can share info with my friends? I have news for you, Facebook; I can already to that 100 different ways.  What really surprised me was how benign the service looks when I check in.  Look at the comparison on my wall that compares a Facebook Places check in to a Foursquare check in. +1 Foursquare
  5. Too hard to "claim" a business. Sure, we have to keep squatters away, and having accurate business verification is important, but the process they are asking for is ridiculous. After you cerifity that you are an official representative of the business (reasonable) you are directed to a page where you are asked to fill out address, number, etc. and then upload official legal documentation like Article of Incorporation or a Local Business License (not reasonable).  How many people are really going to do this? I see conversations going something like this:
Worker: Hey CEO, we really should claim our location on Facebook Places CEO: WTF is Facebook Places? Worker: A way for users of Facebook to check in and share their location with their friends. Can I borrow the Articles of Incorporation to upload to Facebook? CEO: *blank stare*
All of this to say, I don't think Facebook Places will take off.  I know that everybody is predicting the end of Foursquare and other services, but as I recall from the battle of David and Goliath...David won.  Just because Facebook has a massive user base, it doesn't mean that everything they do will result in them taking over the market.  Remember when Facebook changed it's status updates and bought FriendFeed? It was deemed "The Twitter Killer".  Guess what? Twitter is still around. My bottom line? Facebook Places was a fun product announcement to get excited about, but now it's time to get back to reality. I'm going to start by checking in to my favorite local Alehouse on Foursquare.

How To: Use The New Tweet Button

<--See that little button right there? Click it. Go ahead...give it a try. What should have happened is that a new window popped open prompting you to tweet out this article to your followers, which you of course did, right? You didn't? Okay, one more try. Push the button, then click the "tweet" button in the new window. Good job. [caption id="attachment_1864" align="alignright" width="300" caption="The new Tweet Button from Twitter is designed to replace the very popular TweetMeme button."][/caption] What you just experienced was the new Twitter button that is designed to take the place of the TweetMeme button that everybody has been using up to this point.  As you can see, I'm now using both...I'll probably phase out TweetMeme when this takes over and people know what they are looking for. Using this new Twitter button on your blog or site is actually pretty easy.  Go to the official Tweet Button page and go through three very easy steps
  1. Select your style of button and then customize it if you want. The button selection is very basic, it's a matter of picking which style visually flows with your site the best. I really like the customization features, you can let it pull text from the title of the page, or enter your own text.  Get creative with this.  Nice options for different languages as well, although I'm not sure that allowing URLs that are different from the page being tweeted is a good idea...too much bait and switch to be had here
  2. Recommend people to follow. I like this! It goes beyond just mentioning the person that wrote the article and lets you put in another name and description of how they are related.  Pretty cool, great for encouraging follows.
  3. Grab the code! This show you what your tweet button will look like, and provides the code for an easy copy/paste.  Here's what I like about this: it's kind of a stab at the premise of Facebook's Open Graph in that you can put this code on any website.  Seriously, it's not just blogs...try it out! This code is super portable and can potentially drive a lot of tweet awareness about your site.
I really like what I'm seeing from Twitter on this...I expect to see a lot of creative implementations on different sites.  Much like being able to "like" individuals products and services via Facebook, I imagine this will be used to no just promote a site, but individual pages and products within the site. So far there isn't a plugin for Wordpress, but I have no doubt that it isn't too far behind as there is a Dev Page that explains the attributes. So what do you think...will this new Tweet Button catch on? The masses will determine its fate soon enough.

Purchase Nexium

Me: Sounds good. Purchase Nexium, What do you know about the product, what is the community going to be talking about when we open up the social media channels.

Don't let this be you. If you're dealing with large agencies and brands you can probably rest on your laurels for a while without being discovered, drug nexium pen rep, but once you start the engagement process with the consumers of the product or service, Best prices for nexium, you're going to be eaten alive. You won't be able to join conversations, you'll essentially be an observer, da nexium, pushing out information but not truly being able to engage. Nexium otc, The result. You've just turned social media into traditional media, the one way podium of information pushing, hyponatremia nexium. Please don't do this, it's bad for you, it's terrible for your client and the customers that you manged to attract during your initial jump into social will either stop engaging your or simply go away, Purchase Nexium.

Before you get into the world of social media, Nexium reflux remedy australia, do your homework. What is the market share. Who is the competition, pantoprazole vs nexium. If this is something that you are able to use (service or good) personally. Purchase Nexium, Try to get your hands on it; if it’s too expensive or unattainable for any reason, don’t be afraid to ask the client for access. Famotidine vs nexium, The most effective campaigns and programs are those that are run by people that understand and are passionate about what they are talking about. This is often misunderstood on the consultant/agency side, and the results are made obvious quickly: when it comes to engagement in the channels (especially Twitter), nexium equivalent, you will get called out as a phony pretty quickly. Nexium available in generic, You need to have knowledge of what you are talking about. If you need inspiration, go watch some episodes of Mad Men, nexium capsule size. I’m serious, Purchase Nexium. When Don Draper and his team really try to understand the product, the creativity starts flowing and the campaigns are successful. The big difference. Their audience couldn’t talk back to them in real time…the world of social media isn’t quite as forgiving.

Want to know how to really close a deal with your client. Purchase Nexium, When you're at your face-to-face meeting, pull out their product or call it up on your computer, then talk to them about what you like about it personally and how you are going to engage their audience based upon YOUR experience. Of course there are other factors that will determine the program and who they chose for the work (like cost, reputation, etc), but I can tell you from personal experience, this never hurts. Your client wants to know that you're more than a shill...they want to work with somebody that believes in what they are producing as much as they do. Prove to them that you are that person.

In the next post I will talk about what it means to know the audience.

Purchase Ambien

customer service Purchase Ambien, I’m often asked about online behavior and how businesses can tap into certain market segments to find new customers, whether for their services or products.  It’s interesting to me that so often the online world seems so foreign to those that haven’t used it for much more than paying an electric bill on a website, and the questions I am asked usually end up being some variant of “what exactly does the online person look like…who are they?”  These questions come to me from seasoned business professionals that have sold tangible goods or services to people in real life; people they could see, talk to, shake hands with and ultimately sell to.  Why then, would they presume that the online community is so different.

The “real world” primarily consists of three groups of people in the goods and services lifecycle: creators, reports and consumers, ambien coverage medicare.

The Three Real World Groups


Creators represent the smallest segment, Safest way to stop taking ambien, and most people that come to me for business and marketing consultation are in this group.  They are the makers, the business leaders, the companies that are producing something that they want to get into others’ hands, ambien every night safe. In the virtual world there are a few standouts like Amazon and Zappos (or is that now Zamazon?), Ambien generic nonprescription alternative, but there are also millions of smaller players, and they aren’t necessarily distributing products; many service companies now what to sell you ideas to make your life better or service professionals to do work for you.  It doesn’t stop there; non-profits have hit the scene with causes and social ideas that they are creating and distributing through social networks and other online venues. The creators make the things that we need…or think we do, ambien at.

[caption id="attachment_1317" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Traditionally, the consumer lifecycle has been in three very distinct groups"]Traditionally, the consumer lifecycle has been in three very distinct groups[/caption]

Reporters represent the pundits, the talking heads, the reviewers and the public square criers, Purchase Ambien. These are newspaper sites, Psychologial addicition ambien, blogs and other groups that tell us about what the creators are doing, because frankly most creators are pretty lousy at getting that information out themselves.  These groups usually have massive audiences (distribution channels) and produce content rapidly, in short and easy-to-digest segments (most readers lose interest before they hit the 600 word mark).  What is interesting to me about this group is that they are often hailed as collective industry leaders, ambien offer, change agents and cultural guides…yet very rarely do they produce any original content beyond a pithy opinion at the end of a press release usually written by the a creator. Ambien cr copay humana, Consumers by far represent the largest of the three groups, yet are the hardest to talk to.  As creators and reporters argue back and forth about how the one needs the other more, the reality is that neither group can survive without the consumers and they know it.  The consumers read the blogs, ambien by vbulletin, try the goods  and ultimately spend the money that keeps the other two going.  If you were to look at the online world as a cocktail party, Ambien day next, the creators and the reporters are making all the noise and seem to be the life of the party, but they are surrounded and outnumbered by the consumers on a staggering scale, though usually the consumers will only sit quietly by, can ambien improve memory, observing and occasionally writing something in the comments section. Reputable online pharmacies that sell ambien, That was the world before social media.

The New Class of Hyrbrid


Now things are different, and in a dramatic fashion.  You see, which is stronger ambien or lunesta, no longer do these three groups need to be so separated…there are a couple of new groups that have entered the scene: hybrids of the existing classes.

[caption id="attachment_1318" align="alignright" width="300" caption="New Media and easy internet publishes has created hybrid classes within the consumer lifecycle"]New Media and easy internet publishes has created hybrid classes within the consumer lifecycle Purchase Ambien, [/caption]

Creator/Reporters:  whereas the old mom and pop manufactures (those that didn’t have massive PR and marketing budgets) were really confined to smaller, local markets and relied heavily on personal word of mouth advertising, now they are able to reach a global audience with the same ease as their seaminlgy-overwhelming big box competitors.  In the real world, a small company that makes mismatched socks in sets of 3 could probably only survive on a boutique street in a trendy neighborhood.  Thanks to the web, companies like Little Miss Matched can not only survive, but thrive. Onlineorder ambien zolpidem, They can use outlets like Twitter and Facebook to spread the word about their products, then let the users from around the web continue to comment, report, ambien pill photo, review and react to their brand. Ambien vs zopiclone, Reporter/Consumers: up until recently, consumers didn’t really have a voice.  I grew up in a small town, and the only way one could praise or condemn a company was either a letter to the editor in the newspaper or a chat with the neighbors at the park.  Seriously.  Now what do we have?  Consumers can (and will) set up blogs, price ambien cr, Twitter feeds and Facebook pages with just a few clicks of a mouse to share these same thoughts, Supplement similar to ambien, but usually on a much larger scale.  Sometimes the “reports” of the consumers are circulated around a small group of friends on Twitter, and sometimes they make big waves around the world, such as the case of “United Breaks Guitars”.  Big or small, temazapam vs ambien, it doesn’t matter…the ability for the consumer to report is incredible and powerful, Ambien on line-no perscription, and should never be taken for granted.

The Takeaway


People that are stuck in the first model, where the groups are in three distinct buckets, former heroin addict is taking ambien, are missing the point of social media.  No longer is there merit in a company complaining that they just don’t have the ability to reach out like the big companies.  While there are some obvious truths to a complaint like that (have you seen the prices of Super Bowl ads?), Buy ambien online cheap, for the most part a little bit of time and money can produce incredible, far reaching results and allow you to skip right over the previous middle man that was the reporting and communicate directly with your customers…or future customers.

Likewise for the consumer, ambien masterbation plane, bad customer service and shoddy craftsmanship in overpriced products really should not be tolerated any longer.  This is not to say that you should constantly complain on Twitter about every little corporate pet peeve or bad experience you have…because I do not personally advocate that.  It does mean that you are closer than ever to the companies, Buy ambien from online pharmacy, and you likely have the ability to reach out to them.  I try to stay positive online and praise companies far more than I condemn them, hopefully this is no different than life outside of the keyboard and monitor.  Before I rant about bad service online, ambien visuals, I do what I can to reach out to that company.  Sometimes this takes place on the phone, but hopefully now I can reach most folks on Twitter.

With the new connectivity that we are experiencing globally, leverage the opportunities that are before you, whether you are a creator or a consumer.  Jump into the conversation and tell your sphere of influence what you think…what you like, dislike and hope for.  That, my friends, is the joy and responsibility of social media.

Running a mobile office should be simple, but can get a little tricky. Acomplia buy best,  Don't be caught coming up short when travelling, just remember that today's work is important, and in a recessive economy even a simple mistake like not being able to take a phone call when you don't have a cell signal may cost you a job.  As always, acomplia pills, I welcome any tips or tricks you have, please drop a note in the comments to share. With that in mind, Acomplia 56, let's get started! 

Hardware

  • Get a good laptop.  This may go without saying, but it must be said, Order Acomplia Without A Prescription.  This is your primary lifeline, so don't skimp and buy something off Craigslist that is used unless you are positive it is fast and in great condition.  You don't have to break the bank either, acomplia reproductive toxicity, I use an HP Pavilion dv2000 that I bought at Costco for $800.  With a 64-bit processor and 4GB of memory it has more than enough horsepower to run multiple applications. Acomplia from seashells, Make sure whatever laptop you get has a built in camera and microphone.

Order Acomplia Without A Prescription,  This may not seem terribly "mobile" but I'm not talking about heading down to the local coffee shop...when I need to go out of town for a couple of days (within driving distance) I put the 2nd monitor in my car and it is invaluable to me.  Running dual monitors for work is something you need to investigate, I think it increases my productivity by at least 50%.

[/caption]

Buy Reductil Without A Prescription, UPDATE:  I changed hosting companies since originally publishing this article, and ironically it removed the number of reweets from the plugin at the top of the post. You have to love technology sometimes!

One of the fastest and most effective ways of spreading information through Twitter is to retweet somebody.  When you see "RT" followed by a username in an update by one of your friends, that means they are retweeting somebody else...taking that person's post and redistributing it to their own followers, reductil order.  It's rampant on Twitter, and one of the most common questions I get asked is, Sibutramine reductil, "what are some guidelines for retweeting, and how can I get retweeted more?"  I want to address both of those with some simple guidelines and suggestions.

How To Retweet


Retweeting somebody's thoughts, links or pictures is the ultimate compliment on Twitter, reductil 15mg.  It says that you think enough of what they have written to share it with your followers, a pool of people that may be completely different than those of the original tweeter, Buy Reductil Without A Prescription. It is a fantastic way to share information and ideas.  Of course you are free to retweet whatever you want, Buy cheap generic reductil, but here are some general guidelines that I think make it easier for you and those that follow you.

  1. Keep it short. No need to write out "retweet" when RT will do just fine and most people will understand it.  The etiquette for this is "RT @username: the content of their original tweet". Buy Reductil Without A Prescription,  I very strongly recommend using a 3rd party app for Twitter as most of them let you retweet in just one click, you won't have to retype everything like you do in the web interface.  My favorite desktop application is Tweetdeck, reductil online in uk, my favorite iPhone app is Twittelator Pro, and my favorite mobile browser "client" is Dabr. Reductil by vbulletin,

  2. Read what you share. Truly, this is one of my greatest annoyances...it's very obvious when people don't read what they retweet.  The two most painful cases of this are, first, reductil 43, when a person tweets a link to an article they liked and somebody retweets them within a minute or two; this isn't nearly enough time to actually read the article. Second, Reductil 15 mg, I see a lot of people retweet others for #followfriday and they often are "recommending" people that they themselves do not follow.  It happens to me almost every Friday, Buy Reductil Without A Prescription.  Please, read what you retweet, otherwise you are adding too much noise to the already busy Twitterverse.

  3. Know your audience, reductil slimming pills available in us. You should have a good feel for what your followers are like...chances are, they are like you. Buy reductil online,  Naturally you are going to want to share things that are interesting to them, but in a global sense.  If all of your followers are your close, personal friends then this probably doesn't apply to you; have at it and retweet whatever you want, reductil pills uk store. Buy Reductil Without A Prescription,  A lot of people have a mixed bag of followers that include personal friends and acquaintances online, as well as work colleagues and potential employeers.  Keep it real, keep it relevant. Purchase reductil on line,  Don't retweet your 11 year old cousin's rantings about the Hannah Montana movie just because you think they are cute...chances are nobody else will. (Confession: I saw the Hannah Montana movie this weekend and liked it.  Don't judge me!)

    Write good content. This is the number one rule for being retweeted, Reductil cheapest price 15mg, everything else can be worked around.  If you want to be retweeted, then write things that matter to the people that follow you.  Think about what you are interested in, reductil tablets, what you are an expert at, or something that you have read that would be helpful to others. Natural alternative to meridia reductil, Short life updates, although they keep your followers informed about your daily goings-on, don't make the rounds too often. "I just took my dog out to poop" probably isn't going to get much retweet time.


  2. Buy Reductil Without A Prescription, Include links. Earlier this morning I saw a tweet that interested me, reductil medicine, it was about a marketing survey. The problem, Afslanken reductil forum, however, is that the tweet did not include a link to the article, only a vague reference that wasn't even enough to Google.  If it had included a link I probably would have retweeted it, reductil bromocriptine, I think my followers would have found it very helpful.  As it is, Reductil weight loss pills, I don't even know if the statistics included in the tweet are true...a citation would be good.  Make sure you include links when referencing something that includes numbers, or is just interesting, Buy Reductil Without A Prescription.  The best way to include links, since you are limited to 140 characters per update, is to use a URL shrinking service, reductil pills sold in london tore.  It takes a very long URL and makes it short.  I use Cli.gs the most, Reductil pills sold in london store, but also use TinyURL and Is.gd.

  3. Know your RT character count. What do I mean by this. This is imporant, so please pay attention. Buy Reductil Without A Prescription, Since Twitter updates are limited to 140 characters, it only makes sense that if you want to be retweeted you will need to write shorter updates than that to accommodate for "RT @yourname:".  For example, reductil drug, if somebody clicks one of my post to retweet I know that it will take 17 characters (including spaces) to write "RT @mattsingley: ", so I need to keep my updates to 123 characters or fewer (quick math for you if you're new around here: 140 (character max) - 17 (my RT count) = 123 (length of my posts)). Reductil australia,  Just to test my theory about this, some time back I put up similar tweets with content and links, but with one set I exceeded 123 characters, and in the other I stayed under the limit, reductil with other drugs.  I was retweeted 60+% more with the sub-123 character updates!


Good luck.  If you want to see some of the top retweeted info, my favorite site for this is Retweet Radar.  It lists trends, links and people that are being retweeted, and I've found some good information there.  If you have any retweet tips or tricks, I would love to hear about them.

DEVICES

  • This is very cool. Purchase Reductil, You can set up your cell phone so that you can send and receive updates to and from Twitter via text messaging.

  • Save your preferences and we'll move along.
NOTICES

DESIGN
  • This allows you to customize the look of your Twitter home page. Dangers du reductil, If you look at this page and it seems scary to you, then don't do anything to it.

Reductil forums, In other words, instead of saying, "Since I am an unemployed bum I think I'll stay home with Jack (my three year old) this morning and watch Playhouse Disney on TV with him and after I will go to the gym myself and get in a great workout" (61characters too long), you would say "hanging with Jack my 3yo watching playhouse disney, then off to the gym!" Go ahead and try it, post an update, euro pharmacy reductil. What's funny is that most people's first update is something like, "Just trying to figure out this Twitter thing".

First, if the person that you want to follow is a blogger, they probably have a link on their blog page to their Twitter account.

If you see somebody you know or would be interesting to follow, bye reductil, click on their picture, which will take you to their home page.

Reductil pas cher, It's an incredibly powerful form of communication that is used across all demographics. Second, it's somewhat addicting, Purchase Reductil.
