How to Brand Yourself [infographic]
August 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Alright, alright, alright, it’s Monday and time to get this week under way, whether you want to or not. I’ve got a pretty cool infographic for ya’ll today, How People Look in Google and How to Look Better. Now you may be thinking I don’t do much on the internet besides Facebook and the like, there is nothing about me on Google. Well you’d be surprised, after I Googled myself then did an internet search I found there were several links relating to me and stuff I had done that I had no idea was on the internet. None of it is bad of course, being the saint that I am, but it was interesting to find things I had done back in Middle School posted on the internet.
Lucky for me the content that appears when I Google myself is positive but that is because of a conscious effort. When it comes to Google rankings the one link you should be truly concerned about is your top hit. However only half of people own their first link on a Google search with 1 in 4 having no positive content on their first page. If you’re a professional concerned with your image Linkedin is your best friend. It ranks highest in Google so you can provide that clean innocent image using that guy. Be careful with things like Youtube and Vimeo, even though Youtube is more popular Vimeo ranks higher. Everything you do on the internet really is archived. Be careful people and don’t say I didn’t warn you. [via]

Is social media about connecting or simply a collective case of narcissism infecting our culture? Here are some stats gathered by the folks at PsychologyDegree.net to help you decide.
The Current State Of Social Networks 2012 [INFOGRAPHIC]
August 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Did you know that Twitter is the social network with the strongest growth rate in 2012, ahead of LinkedIn, Pinterest and Reddit?
Facebook? That didn’t even make the cut. Still, when you’re closing in fast on one billion users, your annual growth rate does tend to slow down a smidgen. Still, don’t shed a tear for Mark Zuckerberg – save those for the owners of Digg, Bebo, Friendster and, of course, MySpace, who are the four social networks most in decline, reminding us that success in this space can be both dramatic and fleeting.
This data comes courtesy of Ignite Social Media, who have compiled the infographic of infographics about the state of social media, worldwide, in 2012. Ignite’s research revealed that while social media as a whole continues to plateau – we haven’t seen any real growth, planet-wide, since 2009 – there are many success stories to be found. Pinterest has quickly established itself as the de facto social network for women, and Plaxo (who knew that was still going?) is incredibly popular with senior citizens.
Check out all this, and more, in the visualization below.

2200 Musicians Share What They Think Of Facebook Timeline

When Facebook switched all Pages to the Timeline layout, they removed the option to set apps as default landing pages. We wondered how musicians – many of whom were using apps like ReverbNation‘s Band Profile – felt about the change and how it impacted the things they cared most about. Namely fan engagement, music sharing, show attendance and "likes." So ReverbNation surveyed over 2200 of their users and asked them their opinions, twice: 30 days after the change and again at the 90 day mark. The following infographic shows the results:
