Is the metaverse the future of social media?
Facebook is now Meta. Instagram is adding NFTs. Twitter is adding avatars verified on the blockchain. So is Reddit. Is this all a distraction? Or is there an underlying shift to crypto and VR that businesses need to pay closer attention to? There is a shift happening. One that is very important to every business. […]

The Social Media Technology Pyramid
What makes each social network different is the type of content created, how that content is created, and why that content is created. Consumers share a large variety of content for different reasons on different social networks. And social media platforms are evolving, which changes what we share. Snapchat and TikTok have been big drivers […]
How To Adjust Your Social Media Marketing During Coronavirus
Marketing in the age of coronavirus can feel like shouting into the ether. It’s an unprecedented time for many folks (and their business models) to say the least.

Seek Surprises in Your Instagram Data
At our 2015 conference, I talked on stage about the large shift we were seeing in Instagram becoming the most important social network for brands going forward.

Snapchat launched to the world in 2011 as a weird sexting chat app. Remember that? Then in 2013, Snapchat gifted the world with stories and changed social media forever. Last quarter Zuckerberg and company reported that Facebook “stories” had 500 million DAU (daily active users). That’s a really big number. It also means Facebook’s main […]

We tend to think of Facebook, or maybe Myspace, as launching “social media” into the mainstream. And from there the social network was a fully formed concept that we’ve all used for the last 10-15 years to stay in touch with friends and make new connections. To swim in the feed of content. Every day. […]
The MAU – A Dying Social Media Metric
MAU, or Monthly Active Users, has been the main metric by which we measure the health and growth of social networks since before MySpace thought Facebook was just some college fad. It’s been the best shortcut for Wall Street and advertisers to gauge which social networks are engaging the most people and which social networks […]
How Does Snapchat Survive: A few humble suggestions.
Snapchat will turn 8 years old this year. And, to put it simply, the platform is struggling. Am I a Snapchat hater? No. I would love to see Snapchat succeed. We need MORE competition in the social media platform space, not less. But my honest take today, is that Snapchat is struggling to make money and compete […]
