Chinwag Live: Measuring Social Media February 18, 2008

What constitutes success in social media? Traffic? Return on investment? Accumulating social capital?

2007 was the year of social media. Thanks to social networks like Facebook and Bebo, real-time social web tools like Twitter and snowballing use of photosharing and other collaborative tools, the landscape changed dramatically.

But as marketers’ attention is drawn towards social media, the questions about its effectiveness will inevitably follow.

Measurements of customer satisfaction, engagement, loyalty and participation seem more appropriate for online social activities, but how can these areas of goodwill be quantified? And more importantly, how do these relate to the success of a campaign or a community?
