Explore Meta Connect 2025's biggest reveals — from the new Meta Ray-Ban Gen 2 smart glasses to the Oakley Vanguard wraparound design, plus the debut of the Meta Ray-Ban Display with Neural Band control. Discover battery upgrades, camera improvements, conversation-enhancing audio, and what these innovations mean for blind and low-vision users. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece are joined by Carrie Morales and Michael Babcock to break down everything announced at Meta Connect 2025. The team debates whether the updated Meta Ray-Ban glasses are truly next-gen or a 1.5 release, and how the Oakley Vanguard wraparounds deliver better battery life, centred cameras, fitness integrations, and louder open-ear audio. The discussion dives deep into the Meta Ray-Ban Display — a $799 pair of glasses with a small right-eye screen and Neural Band gesture control. While impressive for mainstream users, the panel questions accessibility potential for blind and low-vision users. Live AI demos and WhatsApp call fails from Mark Zuckerberg highlight the real-world reliability of this evolving tech. Key insights include the new Conversation Focus feature for isolating voices in noisy spaces, Garmin and Strava integration for sports users, and the significance of Neural Band gestures for future accessible interfaces.

In this thoughtful and wide-ranging episode of the RattlerGator Report, J.B. White opens with a tribute to his late friend Dean Fowler, a 90-year-old Georgia native and Emory alum whose life epitomized American grit and grace. J.B. reflects on legacy, loss, and the power of connection while previewing a deeper tribute to come. From there, he pivots into a no-holds-barred monologue on de-weaponizing language and reclaiming American cultural values, using 1992's “Free Your Mind” by En Vogue to underscore his point about manipulated division and stunted discourse. J.B. also explores the implications of Trump's recent Middle East tour, praising the former president's alignment with leaders like MBS and BB Netanyahu while analyzing the deeper symbolism behind America's strategic regional resets.

Hey everyone, this is Alex and can you believe that we're almost done with Q1 2024? March 2024 was kind of crazy of course, so I'm of course excited to see what April brings (besides Weights & Biases conference in SF called Fully Connected, which I encourage you to attend and say Hi to me and the team!) This week we have tons of exciting stuff on the leaderboards, say hello to the new best AI in the world Opus (+ some other surprises), in the open source we had new MoEs (one from Mosaic/Databricks folks, which tops the open source game, one from AI21 called Jamba that shows that a transformers alternative/hybrid can actually scale) and tiny MoE from Alibaba, as well as an incredible Emotion TTS from Hume. I also had the pleasure to finally sit down with friend of the pod Tanishq Abraham and Paul Scotti from MedArc and chatted about MindEye 2, how they teach AI to read minds using diffusion models

Holy SH*T, These two words have been said on this episode multiple times, way more than ever before I want to say, and it's because we got 2 incredible exciting breaking news announcements in a very very short amount of time (in the span of 3 hours) and the OpenAI announcement came as we were recording the space, so you'll get to hear a live reaction of ours to this insanity. We also had 3 deep-dives, which I am posting on this weeks episode, we chatted with Yi Tay and Max Bane from Reka, which trained and released a few new foundational multi modal models this week, and with Dome and Pablo from Stability who released a new diffusion model called Stable Cascade, and finally had a great time hanging with Swyx (from Latent space) and finally got a chance to turn the microphone back at him, and had a conversation about Swyx background, Latent Space, and AI Engineer. I was also very happy to be in SF today of all days, as my day is not over yet, there's still an event which we Cohost together with A16Z, folks from Nous Research, Ollama and a bunch of other great folks, just look at all these logos! Open Source FTW

Donald Trump lashed out at the judge in his New York fraud trial repeatedly. He might've miscalculated though, when admitting he influenced the valuation of several of his properties. He also admitted some of those values were too high or too low. It seems like he implicated himself in real estate fraud! At one point, the judge asked Trump's attornies to control their client and told Trump his courtroom is a not a campaign rally! What we know about the courtroom proceedings comes from reporters, but our Jim Avila says we should really be able to see this play out for ourselves. Jim has a nee piece on Barrett News Media and he joins the show to discuss it.We get techie with Jefferson Graham. He brings the latest on Elon Musk's “Grok.”Digging deeper into AI, Robert Scoble will stop by. We'll get into what President Biden's AI executive order means for the industry and more. We are so excited to have Turi Ryder on the show! From the West Coast to the East, she's been on the radio showing us how it's done. Turi's book, “She Said What?” Just came out in audio form. We'll talk about politics and life in general.

Donald Trump will likely be arrested this week on what may be the weakest charge he potentially faces. It deals with the payoff to porn actress, Stormy Daniels. Fomer Asst U.S. Atty, David Katz takes us through the legal case and what to expect. Also, what other legal swords hang over Trump. On MARK'S MURDER MYSTERY MONDAY, true crime officionado, Courtney, visits with the latest mysterious yarn. Tech authority, Robert Scoble @scobleizer , on the bloodletting in Silicon Valley and the effect of AI.

So I did a Twitter Space with a bunch of really smart people, and they said I could upload the results to TechFirst. The only thing ... it's literally over 3 hours. So ... listen however long you'd like!

Tesla CEO suggested Optimus, the Tesla Bot, would come in around $20,000. He's been wrong about pricing before. But is Tesla the only company that can pull off humaniform robots with strong AI that can do multiple tasks? In this TechFirst we chat with Robert Scoble and Irena Cronin from Infinite Retina about what Tesla Bot is, what it can do, and whether it's possible.

Robert Scoble brings the VMware community an update on Spatial Computing and Augmented Reality, where are we going and how is thing going to impact IT GPU consumption as the Cloud becomes the delivery of model generation.

As a newcomer in Silicon Valley, Chris was awed by the kindness shown to him by influential insiders and tech luminaries, people he had never met and for whom he could provide little in return. From mentoring, warm intros, couches to sleep on, and more, Chris built lifelong friendships by receiving—and then giving. The concept of “pay it forward” is profoundly ingrained in Silicon Valley culture. But what is it exactly? How did it take root so deeply in an individualistic culture full of immigrants and blow-ins? And why is it so fundamental to the success of the ecosystem? In this episode, Chris and Yaniv unpack the magic of pay it forward, by way of game theory and the marvellous Robert Scoble. ***Become a True Fan of The Startup Podcast and help build our audience!

Blogger = Podcaster - Visionary Robert Scoble introduced many of us to the world of blogging and then showed us the potential of podcasts. It was his tech vision merged with media passion that created a great many pieces - and he still remains an evangelist for the latest and greatest. As colleagues at a place called PodTech and at subsequent junctures along the way we've had chance to share thoughts on tech and media futures, two of my favorite talk tracks. Check it out and let me know what you think! Peace out.

We didn't go as long as last time because after about 45 minutes, somehow no one could hear me, even though I was the space commissar, or whatever they term it. Anyway, as you'll hear, we ended up talking about that big AR story with Microsoft and the HoloLens and the Pentagon. Robert Scoble, who has been on this beat for years showed up serendipitously, to give us some schooling in the space.

Teen Challenges (0:00:00) The rise in social media use has led some teens to go to extreme lengths to gain popularity. A popular method of gaining followers is to do trending social media challenges. These challenges range from silly tricks (like the water bottle challenge, where teens had to try and flip a water bottle and get it to land right-side up), to downright dangerous dares. In 2018 a viral challenge called the “Tide-Pod Challenge” encouraged teens to videotape themselves biting down on highly toxic Tide-Pods. In one year nearly 220 teens were hospitalized in one year because of this challenge. So what is it about these virtual challenges that appeal to teens? Why are they willing to forgo all common sense to get a few more followers? Here to discuss with us the addictive nature of teen challenges is child psychologist, Dr. Nicole Beurkens.   Money Conversations with Family (0:18:58) Depending on whether or not you are used to talking about this in the home or not, the topic of money is consistently uncomfortable. It's such a sensitive topic. But it should be something we can discuss openly with our family members. So how can we start having open, financial conversations with our spouse or our kids? To answer all of these questions and explain why we should talk about money in the home, we've invited Jen Smith, the founder of Modern Frugality, here with us today.   Teen Addiction (0:32:43) As many of you know, here at The Lisa Show, we try our best to broach important conversations. Sadly, some of the most important conversations we should be having are emotionally difficult or have stigmas surrounding them. Today, in an effort to break stigmas and open up helpful discussions, we've invited Susan Burrowes on the show. Susan is the author of Off the Rails: One Family's Journey Through Teen Addiction, in which she shares her experience as the mother of teenager dealing with addictions. And she is here to discuss ways to find hope and healing for families with teen addiction.   Virtual Reality (0:52:50) Virtual reality games have become more and more popular with kids and adults over the last few years. They've also been the subject of many sci-fi novels and movies like Ready Player One or even Jumanji. While many praise the Virtual Reality experience, others fear the idea of it replacing the real world. So, we wanted to get down to the bottom of Virtual reality and find out what's good about it and what might be dangerous. Here with us today is Robert Scoble, tech evangelist, to help us better understand what virtual reality is and its future.    Teens Teach Technology (1:07:05) Quarantine has made us more dependent on technology than ever before. But during this transition to near completely virtual lives, what about the generation that doesn't have the same knowledge about technology that we do? Many of these older adults are being left behind without any opportunitiesto learn how to use these devices.This is the mission of Teens Teach Technology, a youth organization led by teenagers dedicated to teaching older adults how to properly use their technology. Today, we're joined by their founder, Asmita Mittal, and Nicole Lau, their head of PR. They're here to talk with us about their efforts to make us more media literate.   The Last Blockbuster on Earth (1:20:30) There was something magical about taking a trip to a Blockbuster, checking out the new releases, re-watching classics, and grabbing snacks. Unfortunately, you can no longer find a Blockbuster on every corner, but there is one corner—the last corner in the world—where you can relive those golden days. The last Blockbuster on earth is still operating out of Bend, Oregon! Here to tell us how they've been able to stick it out for so long is store manager, Sandi Harding.   Sleep Training Kids (1:32:03) The routine goes something like this: you coerce your child into their pajamas and into brushing their teeth, you've read their favorite book (twice), made up a new bedtime story for them, and then spent the next 20 minutes letting your arm fall asleep in the hopes that the child curled up on it will too. Finally, you gingerly extricate your arm, tiptoe out, and get cozy in your own bed only to have your child walk in and announce that they can't sleep. This is a cycle that you rinse and repeat nightly. So how can we effectively sleep train both our littlest kids and our toddlers? Here to this question and discuss effective techniques for sleep training is a Fellow at the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Director of the Behavioral Sleep Program at Connecticut Children's Medical Center, Dr. Lynelle Schneeberg.

Everyday Rockstar (0:00:00) Lisa and Richie talk to this week's featured Everyday Rockstar. You can nominate yourself or someone you know by sending us an email to thelisashow@byu.edu.   Why You Should Adopt a Dog (0:06:24) Did you know it's national adopt a shelter dog month? Who knew! Well if you were looking for a good excuse to get a new puppy, this is it! While there are many great places to adopt a dog from, a shelter is a great option to help give a good home to dogs who really need it. Today we welcome Claudia Roll, the Vice President of Operations at Humane Rescue Alliance, on the show today to tell us more about the importance of adopting shelter dogs and what else we can do to help.   Skincare During Winter (0:22:45) Winters are rough for so many reasons. It's harder to get out of your warm bed, days are short, and your skin dries up—or at least mine always seems to! Winter can be tough on our skin—especially the most sensitive parts like our hands and lips. When we're feeling dry, we just aren't feeling our best. So how can we prep for these cold days—other than buying lotion and Vaseline in bulk? Here to share her advice with us is dermatologist Debra Jaliman.   How to Discipline Your Kids (0:35:21) Disciplining our kids is hard to do—we love them and so we don't want to hurt their feelings. On the other hand, it's because we love them that we have to discipline them when they've done wrong. However, it can be hard to know when you've crossed the line from merely steering them back onto the right path and hurting their self-esteem. It's a difficult balance as a parent but it's a crucial one to maintain. Here to talk to us about maintain this balance and how to practice “soft criticism”, is an author, clinical psychologist, and mom of four, Dr. Eileen Kennedy-Moore.   Virtual Reality (1:15:11) Virtual reality games have become more and more popular with kids and adults over the last few years. They've also been the subject of many sci-fi novels and movies like Ready Player One or even Jumanji. While many praise the Virtual Reality experience, others fear the idea of it replacing the real world. So, we wanted to get down to the bottom of Virtual reality and find out what's good about it and what might be dangerous. Here with us today is Robert Scoble, tech evangelist, to help us better understand what virtual reality is and its future.   Day of the Dead Recipes (1:29:04) You know the Disney Pixar movie Coco? It's a film about a young boy's dream to become a musician despite his family's generations-old ban on music. His journey to live his dream takes him to the land of the dead where he uncovers his family history. For some people, this movie is the full extent of their exposure to the beautiful Mexican holiday, Day of the Dead, in which families honor their ancestors. They honor their memories and their lives, and they do it in various ways, including by cooking traditional food. Well today, we wanted to learn more about the holiday and how we can also celebrate it by making traditional Day of the Dead recipes. To help us do that is highly-acclaimed food blogger and founder of Mexico in My Kitchen, Mely Martínez.

Welcome to episode #563 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #563 - Host: Mitch Joel. The future of us humans connecting to technology will not be about the web or mobile. It will all take place in some kind of virtual reality. That future is happening faster than most of us would care to admit. Whether it will be virtual, augmented or mixed reality... that is yet to be defined. We're at that unique moment in time. Remember when we were not sure if the web was going to be called the Internet, the information superhighway, the web, etc...? Two thinkers and doers on this, exact, subject are Shel Israel and Robert Scoble. They have teamed up (again) to co-author their latest business book, The Fourth Transformation -- How Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence Will Change Everything. The book looks (deeply and intelligently) at what we're in the midst of right now, and where technology is really taking us. In fact, they're so bullish on this space, that they've partnered to launch a consultancy business called, Transformation Group. With that, many will also recognize these two digital futurists as the co-authors of Naked Conversations and Age Of Context. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 53:42. Hello from beautiful Montreal. Subscribe over at iTunes. Please visit and leave comments on the blog - Six Pixels of Separation. Feel free to connect to me directly on Facebook here: Mitch Joel on Facebook. or you can connect on LinkedIn. ...or on twitter. Six Pixels of Separation the book is now available.

You're smart. You never believed the people who said "there's no money in Social Media". You thought the people who said Social was all about "pictures of what people had for lunch" or "videos about cats" were missing the point. Yes, those things are popular on Social Media… and it's also true that Social Media is a vital marketing medium that can bring big rewards, monetary and otherwise when done right. Just ask Taylor Swift, Oreo, the folks behind the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, or even President Barack Obama. Just knowing Social Media Marketing is important, however, is not enough. You must know how to do it right – or at least how to not do it wrong. Today's episode will address what I consider to be the 5 Social Media Marketing Mistakes you are most likely making right now… and how to fix them. Tip Of the Week I have not one, but three tips for you this week! Tip #1: Smart Podcast Player First, I'm very excited about the new podcast player we are using on our website. You know, that little "play" button you click to hear audio on the web, such as listening to podcast episode? Up until now we were using a very primitive podcast player. But we just switched the Pat Flynn's Smart Podcast Player. Pat created the player for his own enormously popular podcast. Here's what he says about it: I created this custom player with my team because I wanted a better listening experience for my audience. They deserve the best. After sharing the player with my audience, I received hundreds of requests from other podcasters who wanted to use the player too, and so the Smart Podcast Player was born. You put an immense amount of time and care into creating your podcast; the player you use should reflect that. My team and I have put the same attention and care into building the Smart Podcast Player. I know that you (and your listeners) will love it. Some of the features and benefits: Works with any feed, from any host, anywhere. Looks amazing the design is clean and modern, and you can customize it to match your site perfectly. Lets your listeners explore, discover, and share. The Smart Podcast Player has an interactive library that allows your listeners to explore past episodes in your backlist without interrupting the episode that's playing. The player also empowers your listeners to search your backlist by tag, download their favorite episodes in MP3 format, and share episodes with their friends. Your library of episodes updates automatically anytime you publish a new episode to your feed. All metadata is available, episode description included. Your listeners can control the speed of the currently playing episode just like they enjoy doing when they use today's latest podcast mobile apps. It's also got rave reviews from podcasters like John Lee Dumas, Michael Hyatt, and Jaime Tardy of the Eventual Millionaire podcast. And this one is a big deal that I think doesn't get enough emphasis: there's a direct "Subscribe In iTunes" button on the player. The number of subscribers plays a big role in how your show ranks on iTunes. And now your podcast player can encourage those subscriptions, as in the picture you see below (you can actually click that picture and subscribe to this podcast… go ahead… I'll wait…) You can see the entire library of The Ray Edwards Show in the Smart Podcast Player, so you can see it in action, by clicking here. And once you've decided you can't live without the player, check it out at SmartPodcastPlayer.com Tip #2: Twitter Power 3.0 You may know Joel Comm as a New York Times Best-Selling author, and as a top social media influencer. I know him as the guy who convinced me to write and publish my first book, Writing Riches. Much of my success is tied to that book. It was published because of Joel's encouragement and advice. We have been good friends for many years now. I don't know Dave Taylor, but I have benefitted from his work at AskDaveTaylor.com many, many times (just as millions of others have). Joel and Dave just launched their co-authored book, Twitter Power 3.0, and I recommend you click here and buy your copy now. Twitter Power (the previous version) is already the world's top-selling book on the subject of Twitter. It was endorsed by Tony Robbins (who, by the way, has 2.58 million followers on Twitter). This newly updated super-guide, Twitter Power 3.0 will show smart businesses and entrepreneurs how to use Twitter to massively grow their reach. And this new, improved, cutting-edge book is endorsed by none other than Guy Kawasaki, who says, "This book will give you a big head start toward mastering Twitter from two people who already have." The book is also endorsed and praised by Robert Scoble, Mari Smith, Chris Brogan, Jay Baer, John Lee Dumas, Michael Stelzner, Kim Garst, and other top social media influencers. Look, you don't need anyone's expensive "Twitter Course" or "coaching" – you can dominate your market on Twitter simply following the advice in this book. Inside Twitter Power 3.0, you'll discover how to: Grow your number of followers PLUS increase your engagement on Twitter Make your content to go viral (you'll be shocked at what works and what doesn't!) Measure the Twitter metrics that matter most and fine-tune your strategy to maximize your results In celebration of the launch of Twitter Power 3.0, Joel and Dave are offering some generous bonuses when you order your copy of the book today. The bonuses you get include a brand new eBook called Social Poetry 2 (which features the top marketers/influencers online… even I make a brief appearance in the book). So, to get more followers and influence on Twitter, start by ordering your copy of Twitter Power 3.0. And, of course, claim all the free bonuses that come with your purchase. I don't make a single penny for recommending this book to you. The links in this post are not affiliate links. I just happen to think this is an excellent book, and I think you need to read it (if you want to be successful with Twitter). Tip #3: Social Media Marketing World 2015 Session Recordings Was traveling to San Diego for Social Media Marketing World 2015 just not an option for you this year? If so, you missed the marketing event of the year. I had the privilege of leading one of the tracks at the event, and I soaked up a ton of great knowledge from the other sessions. Below is a picture of me with my personal Mastermind Group, the Green Room Mastermind. In the photo is Pat Flynn, Cliff Ravenscraft, Mike Stelzner, Mark Mason, and Leslie Samuel. This is the first time we have all been in the same physical space at one time! (L-R) Mark Mason, Mike Stelzner, Pat Flynn, Cliff Ravenscraft, Leslie Samuel I know, I know, you're feeling left out. What if you could catch ALL the conference sessions at your convenience without any travel expenses or the need to replicate yourself? The good news is now you can! All you need is the Virtual Ticket to Social Media Marketing World 2015! For a fraction of the cost of a regular ticket, you'll get full access to the recording of EVERY session. Yes, every keynote, all the panels and each great session–the ones people travel thousands of miles to see–will be at your fingertips. With your Virtual Ticket, you'll have access to 100+ online recordings of everything. You can watch playbacks from your computer, tablet or smartphone at your leisure. You'll also be able to interact with your peers via our private LinkedIn networking group. Click here to get your virtual ticket now. There's no risk, either – you can try the first two days once the recordings are posted and still cancel for a full refund if you decide it's not for you! Spiritual Foundations Satan Is No Longer Allowed To Accuse You Of Anything Recently a friend expressed worry that his troubles were because of Satan. My friend said to me, "I just know this problem is happening because Satan is the 'accuser of the brethren', making sure God is aware of my every sin." He was referring to a passage from Revelation 12:10: "Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down." (NKJV) Many people believe that this is still going on, and that the "casting down" comes at the end of time. But that is not true. A careful reading of Revelation in the context of the rest of the New Testament shows that this "casting down" of the "accuser of the brothers" has already happened. "Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies." Romans 8:33 In book of Job, Satan is in God's presence and us griping about Job (see Job 1:6-12). Now here's the question I have about this scene: what the heck is Satan doing at God's throne? That's God's most holy place. How can Satan be allowed there? It's pretty simple: we gave him our pass to the throne room of heaven. Adam bowed to the will of Satan in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3, and that means's Satan was able to take Adam's place and could come before God. Satan became "the accuser of the brothers" – he did nothing but bend God's ear with lies about us. Then something amazing happened. The "last Adam", Jesus Christ, gave his own blood and cleansed the things of Heaven (Hebrews 9:22-24). The work Jesus did, which he called "finished", redeemed the place where Satan stood before God. There's no place in heaven for Satan. He cannot come before God and accuse you or me. Those days are over. The next bit of good news is who is in God's presence today – and that would be JEsus. He is there on our behalf (Hebrews 9:24). And so now who can condemn or accuse us? "Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us." Romans 8:34 Listen, as I read the book of Job I see it contains many theological knots. I can't untie half of them. I do know that much of it is bad theology, presented as just that. God himself says that Job's friends spoke wrongly about Him, invalidating much of the text as theology. Job wanted someone to plead on his behalf. (Job 9:33) We actually have what Job desired – we have Jesus as our representative, and he is interceding for us (1 Timothy 2:5). So… what does Satan do now? The only thing he can do: he comes to you and me, here on earth, and accuses us through our conscience. His only weapon is lies. His weapon is only effective if we believe the lies. He has no power. (Colossians 2:15) So if you find yourself thinking that God's will is for you to be sick, or hurting, or hungry… or that God is punishing you for your sins… don't buy into that garbage! Don't listen to Satan's lies. God justifies you, and nobody, not even the devil himself, has the power to come before God and accuse you. You, just like Jesus, have free and total access to God's throne of grace to "obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need". (Hebrews 4:16) Revel in your righteousness, and know that all your sin-debt has been paid, you are free, and there's no one left to accuse you. Imagine yourself in the place of the woman caught in the act of adultery. Here accusers dragged her to Jesus, accusing her. He turned the accusers away and… When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more." John 8:10-11 That's what he's saying to you and me today: "Neither do I condemn you." Feature Presentation: Are You Making These 5 Social Media Marketing Mistakes? Social Marketing is more important now than ever. If you don't believe that, or don't understand why its true, hasten thyself over to Social Media Examiner and get the Sixth Annual Social Media Marketing Industry Report. It is 50 pages, and over 80 charts worth of data from 2,800 organized into an important and comprehensive report. It will open your eyes to just how important Social Media Marketing is to you and your business. Based on that report, Mike Stelzner gave a fantastic keynote at Social Media Marketing World 2015, where he outlined the 8 major trends all marketers must know about in 2015. After spending two and a half days at the conference last week, attending sessions, taking notes like a madman, listening to the podcasts and reading several books by presenters at the conference, plus reading a pile of articles on Social Media Examiner, I decided to create this Social Media-focused show. So here are the 5 Social Media Marketing Mistakes you are most likely making… and how to fix them. Pronto. Social Media Marketing Mistake #1 Failure to have a Strategic Social Media Marketing System. "Strategic" means: the identification of long-term or overall aims and interests and the means of achieving them. "System" means: a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized scheme or method. Thus, a Strategic Social Media Marketing System is: A set of principles and procedures of using Social Media with the overall aim of increasing the profitability of the enterprise. Do you have such a system? Is it written down? Does the document clearly define the intent of the system? Does it define, step-by-step, how to activities are to be conducted to achieve the Strategic Objective? Could anyone on your staff or team execute the instructions based solely on the written procedure? If not, you don't have a system. How To Fix Mistake #1: Develop a written document that spells out the principles and procedures of using Social Media with the overall aim of increasing the profitability of the enterprise. Social Media Marketing Mistake #2 Failure to have a consistent branding presence across Social Media Platforms. Your images, logos, and profile pages look different across all the different services, including your own blog. Your logo, colors, and design scheme are just a hodgepodge of what you used at the time you signed up for any given network. How To Fix Mistake #2: Get a professional logo design and headshot made, if you don't already have them. Know what your design color palette is and use it. Then, change your images, logos, and profile pages should look alike across all the different services, including your own blog. Your logo, colors, and design scheme should always match. And if you have a personal brand, use the same headshot on all the services… and make sure it looks like you! Social Media Marketing Mistake #3 Failure to understand the different Social Media services. The rules – both written and unwritten – differ from service to service. the proper way to be a valued member of each community is to understand its culture and behave accordingly. Proper behavior looks different on LinkedIn than on Google+ or Facebook, and Facebook profile etiquette is different from the etiquette for Facebook pages. And Twitter is different from all the rest. Unfortunately, many (most) marketers have never taken the time to really learn the culture of the networks they are part of. These same marketers then don't understand why their "social" marketing "doesn't work." Here's a clue: If everywhere you go, you smell body odor, you might be the one who needs a shower. How To Fix Mistake #3: Study the most popular users of each service. Watch their behavior and interaction. Read a guide on the networks you want to be part of. You can find definitive guides and up-to-the-minute tips at Social Media Examiner for free. One powerful and important insight: spend most of your time on Social Networks being social. Interact. Respond. And don't make the mistake of being self-promotional all the time. My rule of thumb is to try to be 90% sharing and helpful, and to use only 10% of my Social Media activity to directly promote. Now go out on the playground… and play nice! Social Media Marketing Mistake #4 Failure to have a presence on the most important Social Media sites. Many marketers sign up for ever Social Media network, don't dig deep into any of them, and so have a lackluster presence everywhere. Yuck. Don't do this. It just makes you appear to be one of the mediocre masses. You shouldn't – and can't – have a presence on all Social Media networks. How To Fix Mistake #4: I know I will get arguments on this, but in my opinion, here are the networks you should focus on, in the order of priority, from most important to least (but I think they are all important). Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Instagram Pinterest Google+ As I said, I know some will want to argue with be about this list, but I think it's right on target. Feel free to differ with me in the comments… or on Social Media! Social Media Marketing Mistake #5 Failure to use strong visual content in your Social Media Marketing. Most Social Media Marketers are focused on words. As a copywriter, I understand. But copywriting and writing in general isn't really about the medium – it's about the message. If you're focused only on the text, you're missing out on huge momentum and potential profit. More and more, people are consuming visual content. How To Fix Mistake #5: Get visual – especially video-visual! One of the hottest trends, according to the data from the Social Media Marketing Industry Report (and Mike Stelzner's keynote), is video. In particular, native video. Meaning video that is posted and hosted on the network distributing it. The networks seem to be giving preference to video that is uploaded via their own network interface. So use Facebook to upload your video to Facebook, instead of uploading it to YouTube and linking to it on Facebook. The same is true of other networks as well. And for goodness sakes, don't forget pictures and those "quote memes" that seem so popular. You can make your own using Canva or Wordswag. And finally, there are infographics. If you want to capture complex ideas in a simple way people love, use infographics. There are a lot of great tools to make them yourself, among them Canva, PikToChart, and Visual.ly.
