Re: Why is measuring social media ROI so difficult?

Alan Nguyen — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:34:29 -0000

Agencies/Brands should use "AARRR" metrics like web startups and forget the vanity metrics. Activation, Acquisition, Retention, Referral, Revenue-- those are the categories that matter. If you those KPIs goes up... more than likely they are 'Selling More Stuff.'

btw- great blog.

AB!, I'll be a regional strategy director and APAC director for measurement. Basically it is to help ramp up the team across APAC not just Australia. I'm sure there will be more details when I actually start.

Men are good for all kinds of advice, but maybe on the more practical side.

Re: privacy and location based services

To overcome the huge privacy issues of location based services, we designed http://whapee.com

Limited retention time of geolocalized images and 100% account free and anonymous postings should help to save your privacy.
Further, the images are hardened against bots and search engines so they reside where they belong to.

Perhaps you consider this service as an LBS alternative?

Re: who are we kidding? elections are about ideology not policies

Thanks Emanuel for your thoughtful response. I am an optimist, and the optimist in me sees that even since the last Howard election public opinion has started to turn against the race card used in elections. Unfortunately, Tony Abbott has not.

If I had the right to vote for anyone in this country I would have voted for the Greens as well. Just because they seem to be the only party in this country that has at least some common sense left. I believe ideology and policy go hand in hand, so despite the slight differences in economic policies on each side it would be fair to say they have one common ground. Racism.

The repulsive use of asylum seekers as political footballs in public debate and media's willingness to regurgitate misleading comments from both sides of the party lines without due analysis says more about this country than we would like to admit.

It seems that even though Australia abolished its White Australia Policy in 1970, the underlying ideology still unifies the nation come election time.

I agree. I voted Green too. And I love my Vietnamese friends who came here as refugees, Australia is so lucky to have all of you! I say you, but I mean us because that's how much I love them/us. Thich Nhat Hanh has a song "because I am in you and you are in me ... " :) x ♥ ✿ ღ ☀ ♦ ☁

Re: can radian6 be used to prevent suicides and murders?

Alison Michalk — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 23:27:19 -0000

You're right - it is a tough call. I think the best course of action is to contact the member privately, and offer compassion whilst referring them to a professional.

Your suggestion is a great one (I just got hung up on the logistics before!). I imagine there are a vast number of organisations that deal specifically with these concerns who'd benefit from social media monitoring.

It might only be a matter of time until software is developed to tackle these issues specifically in the same way Crisp's Net Moderator deals with cyber-grooming and cyber-safety.

Great chatting with you Jonathon :)

Re: can radian6 be used to prevent suicides and murders?

Hi Alison
I suspect it's one of those areas where there will be no easy answer. I also think it's gong to be one of those areas where there will be no one rule. So for example, on a Forum it might not be appropriate to intervene, but what if it was a Facebook status update? Would one of your friends be totally justified in calling the police to your house? What about your blog?

It's a tough call, but it it's good that people like yourself are wanting to explore it. For it me it was an interesting concept to explore, but I'm not a mental health professional. It would be interesting to get that viewpoint as well.

Thanks for commenting!

Hi Jonathon, I know it's an old post but I've just come across it and wanted to comment. I work with a range of high-risk online communities, and recently worked with a parenting community for two years. This presented community management challenges such as suicide, child at risk of harm, post-natal depression, relationship issues etc.

One of the difficulties in processing these issues is ascertaining who the person is IRL, and whether or not you are contravening privacy laws in doing so. Mandatory reporting legislation varies from state to state and in most cases online publishers don't fall under it (to the best of my knowledge).

The other issue is whether or not you break the trust of the community by doing so. I'm not suggesting members would be bothered by an attempt to help, but you may erode the sanctity of that space. For many people facing troubled times, a call for help on a forum might be the best action they can take. They will be listened to and responded to (by their peers and the site). If people stopped posting cries for help for fear of the police turning up, would the action of community custodians be counterproductive?

I don't have the answer but it's a topic I've been exploring lately in considering the value of anonymity on the web. I enjoyed your post, thank you!

Don't they? I think they do. Go to Yellow Pages Online and just search for "electrician", choose your state and hit the search button. You shall see a lot of results which basically means that electricians DO advertise in Yellow Pages.
