A graph shows the growth of your followers or those you are following over a specific time period (which can be altered), plus another graph shows the number of tweets you have made. Another stat shows you a prediction of how many followers you will have in x number of days. You can use the sliding scale to alter this. You can get up to 3 months’ worth of data for free, but can also get 6 months’ data by ‘paying with a tweet’. Twitter Counter is free to use with a Twitter login. There are Pro accounts available with additional stats from $15 per month and these include stats for up to a year plus other features. www.twittercounter.com36.12 Who Unfollowed Me If you have noticed that your number of followers has decreased and you want to know who has unfollowed you, then Who Unfollowed Me is a handy tool. It will also show you who’s not following you back, who you are not following back and your unfollow history for the past 7 days. The stats are for up to 100 users. If you use SocialBro then you will note that a similar function is built in to it.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 101

Who Unfollowed Me is free to use. There is a Pro account option available for $4.99 per year that has a few more features including automated checks. www.who.unfollowed.me36.13 Topsy Topsy is a great tool for social media monitoring in general, but it also deserves a mention as a general Twitter tool. It’s billed as a “real-time search for the social web” and that’s exactly what it does. Simply enter a search term – a brand, keyphrase, event, hashtag, etc – and you will be presented with search results pulled in from a number of sources.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 102

These can be filtered by type of result – tweets, links, images, videos, experts – and also by network(currently Twitter or Google+). There are also some additional filtering options in the form oflanguage and date.In order to enhance the usefulness of these even more, you can use the ‘Advanced Search’ feature,which has a number of filtering options such as exact word match, search within a site or domain,search by date range and more. Use a number of different search operators to refine your search even moreOne of the most useful features of Topsy, however, is that you can output these results, for exampleshare them on Twitter, grab the RSS feed or even create an email alert (similar to Google Alerts).The only downside is that if your search term is fairly general then your alert may contain somerandom links.For some additional graphical representations of searches, there’s a sub-domain known asanalytics.topsy.com. This gives you the ability to compare up to three search queries. Also if yousimply want a quick snapshot on what is trending right now then Topsy can offers with .filteringoptions.Topsy is free to use with a Twitter sign in.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 103

www.topsy.com36.14 Twylah Twylah builds a topic-centered landing page (called a ’Twylah’) that contains links to topics that are deemed to be the ones that you tweet about most. These are displayed in a magazine-style layout and group tweets together under main topic headings. Users can view all the tweets you have made about particular subjects and also tweets related to these using keywords.Twylah is great for giving your Twitter account authority, especially if you tend to tweet about a fewparticular subjects. These topics can be managed, however, so you can refine which ones you wantto be displayed.Included are prominent social sharing linksand a button for people to follow you.Another feature of Twylah is the ‘Power Tweet’. This gives you the ability to tweet out and link backto your Twylah, therefore exposing followers to your other tweets in a very visual way. You can alsoadd other links to your Power Tweets. Tywlah claims that using them can increase engagement withyour followers by up to 40 times.Twylah is free to use, but is currently in an ‘invite only’ state. However, invites do seem to comethrough fairly quickly.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 104

www.twylah.com36.15 Paper.li Paper.li is a quick and automated way to create an online newspaper. It is described as a “content curation service” and uses sources including your Twitter account, G+, RSS feeds and Facebook to create a really visual ‘paper’. This can be browsed by people using Paper.li but will also get found via search. You set it up by choosing your sources and then refine the content by selecting which topics you want displayed. There are a few options for how this looks, so you can ‘brand’ it as well.The key, however, is the promotion of it. By selecting the correct option it will tweet out a link to itand also include up to five or six Twitter users that have ‘contributed’ to the paper.There is some debate as to whether Paper.li is a little spammy, especially if you schedule twoupdates a day to tweet out, for example. However, there is also good evidence that it is a veryuseful source of RTs and additional follows. This is due to the fact users mentioned think you havehand-picked them and then generally tweet back to thank you, thus increasing your reach further.There’s also a stats section that shows how many views your paper has had and who has favouritedit.Paper.li is free with a sign in to Twitter.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 105

www.paper.li36.16 Bit.ly Bit.ly is a URL shortener service and is probably one of the best known. It helps you track, share and analyse your links. These links can be used on all forms of messaging, but with Twitter’s character restrictions this can help you get the most out of your tweets. Some Twitter management tools, such as TweetDeck, offer Bit.ly as an alternative URL shortener to Twitter’s. Bit.ly collects your links and then you can quickly access them to review clickthroughs. Bit.ly is free to use with a Twitter or Facebook sign in. www.bit.ly If you’re looking for a super-quick Url shortener with no need for the analytics then try Nowtweet.it. This also comes with a handy bookmark button for your browser in order to instantly shorten a link.36.17 Buffer Buffer is a fairly new kid on the block when it comes to Twitter tools. It’s a scheduling tool for Twitter (and other social media channels), and works by you creating your messages when you have the time (or inspiration) then ‘buffering’ them to be sent out as and when you want.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 106

As you can imagine, this is really handy to ensure you are tweeting or messaging your followers during out of office times. Use Buffer to test updates to measure the levels of response at different times and days You can use Buffer on the web and also on your mobile. It’s free to use with a Twitter sign in. www.bufferapp.com36.18 WhoTweetedMe WhoTweetedMe is a tool from Hubspot and is described as “contagious content analytics”. It offers quick and easy analysis of a URL to see who tweeted you.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 107

Simply enter the URL of something you tweeted and then you’ll get to see:  Number of retweets  Average followers (of the people who retweeted you)  Potential reach There’s also an RT timeline to show you when these occurred plus a list of the top 20 most influential retweeters. You can even thank these retweeters with a built-in tweet function. www.whotweetedme.com36.19 Tweriod© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 108

Tweriod is a free Twitter tool that lets you know the best time to tweet. It works by analysing yourfollowers’ last 200 tweets to find out when it is they tweet most. The analysis takes around an hour or two, but when done you get a notification by DM or email. Tweriod is free to sign up to with your Twitter account, but a Pro plan is available for more in-depth analytics. www.tweriod.com36.20 IFTTT Saving one of the best to last, IFTTT is a really handy tool that allows you to create ‘recipes’ for tasks to help you out daily.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 109

These are created using the basic premise of “If this happens, then do this”. As well as creating tasks from scratch, you can browse thousand of recipes already created by other IFTTT users. Chances are someone’s already created what you need, so you can simply adapt it for your requirements. It has lots of great uses for Twitter, such as setting up an automated feed from your blog to tweet out, but it also can be linked to platforms such as Dropbox, Instagram, Facebook Pages, Gmail and many more. www.ifttt.com37. Summary As noted in the introduction to this review, there are hundreds of tools for Twitter available and you could spend your whole day testing and using them. The ones included here are those most used by the social media team at Fresh Egg. There are also several very good paid tools that are worth you trialling if possible, Sprout Social being one of them. If you are going to spend some of your time testing these (and other tools) then here are a few key things to remember:  What platform flavours are they available in? Do these suit the way you access and manage your social media activity?  Do they seem to be accurate? Use a few tools that report the same indicators and see if their stats stack up or if they are they way off the mark.  Can they handle multiple accounts? If you manage more than one Twitter account then this is key.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 110

Twitter is a powerful tool for social media campaigns as well as enhancing your own onlinereputation; by using some or all of these tools you should find your online effectiveness isincreased tremendously.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 111

A guide to PinterestChapter 637.1 What is Pinterest Pinterest is the new ‘big thing’ in social media, still in beta phase it boasts a reported 13million users and has seen its page views increase 230.9% in the last 3 months. Currently ranked as the 31st most visited website in the UK, Pinterest is a collection of virtual pinboard, allowing you to ‘pin’ images you like onto boards in different categories. People can use it plan their weddings, decorate their homes and organise recipes. If an image is pinned from a website then it acts as a link back to the original page. For example if a pasta recipe was pinned to the board ‘Recipes to try’, the user can click on the image and it will take them back to the recipe on the original website. If another user also likes the look of the recipe they can ‘Repin’ it on to one of their own boards and the image will retain the link back to the original website.37.2 Key Statistics Pinterest has really taken off in the USA with 12million unique users compared to 200,000 in the UK. What is really interesting is that whilst Pinterest is a female dominated platform in America (83% of users are female), in the UK it is a lot more even, 56% of users are male. In the UK, 42% of users are aged 25-34, with the second largest age group being 35-44. The majority of UK users are college educated and about 60% of users earn over $100,000(£63,900) a year.37.3 Why should you use Pinterest for your brand?© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 112

37.3.1 What areas work well Pinterest has 31 different categories in which a board can fall into, although you can label the board whatever you want, pins will be more searchable should the board be in suitable category. Choose the most relevant category for the company. For example if you lease cars the ideal category would be Cars and Motorcycles. All categories can be diversified to allow a broader range of boards, i.e. Formula One, American Muscle Cars, Audi, Sports cars, Convertibles etc.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 113

37.3.2 Key Objectives Since its rise in popularity earlier this year, Pinterest has become one of the biggest social traffic referrals, bringing in more traffic views than YouTube, Google+ and LinkedIn combined. Most images are pinned from a website and therefore have a link back to the page where it was original pinned from, this means each of these pins acts like a button back to the website. The reason for this higher rate of referral traffic is due to the way people pin image. There are five main types of Pinners  Buyer Persona – This is people who express themselves through pictures and images relevant to their lives. This sort of activity is comparable to self-identification with products and focus group insight.  Near Future Buyers – These people use Pinterest as a bookmarking website or an online wish list. They ‘Pin’ to remind themselves of things they want to do, buy or revisit.  Influencers – Comparable to online product recommendations and reviews, these influential users like to share and recommend things they think others will like.  Long-term Buyers – This type of user will be exploring topics and doing their research. They probably know what they want i.e. a bookcase, but they don’t know what type of bookcase. This activity is akin to window shopping, carful adoption and informed decision-making.  Immediate Buyer – This kind of user is actively searching new things to do, buy, look at or read, there activity is similar to product research and targeted online searches i.e. ‘Oak Book Case with 5 Shelves’ rather than ‘bookcase’.37.4 Site Implementation As with in any social media website Fresh Egg recommends adding both passive and active Pinterest buttons to your website. All Pinterest button codes can be found here: http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/ 37.4.1 Passive Button A passive button is one that guides users to your various social media properties. Pinterest gives the choice of four different buttons and provides the HTML for each.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 114

37.4.2 Active Button An active button has an action associated to it i.e. Like, Tweet and +1. The Pinterest action is ‘Pin it’ which encourages users to ‘Pin’ an image to one of their boards. Pinterest has 3 variations of the button:  No count (Does not disclose how many times the image has already been pinned)  Vertical (Pin count displayed to the right of the button)  Horizontal (Pin count displayed above the button) The button can be generated using Pinterest code generator. The advanced option is designed for when there is more than one image that can be pinned on a page i.e. in a gallery.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 116

37.5 The Pinterest Interface This page is similar to Facebook News Feed, it shows all the pins and repins of the users the account followers as well as detailing any activity i.e. when someone follows you or one of your boards as well as ‘Like’, ‘Repin’ and ‘Comment’ activity. This page also allows users to view pins by category, look at video pins and see what pins are popular (determined by how many times it has been repined or liked) as well as browse pins that have prices in the gift section.37.6 Profile Page The profile page contains all the accounts information, including website, Facebook and Twitter.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 117

It also details the last three users repined, follower/following information and all the users pininformation such as boards, pins, likes and recent activity.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 118

38. How to Pin? Pinterest is currently in Beta testing, in order to join the site a user must be invited or join a waiting list. Fresh Egg is able to sent invitations to the platform. There are various ways of Pinning an image or video, users can ‘Add a Pin’, ‘Upload a Pin’ or Install a bookmark bar ‘Pin It’ button. 38.1 Add a Pin Adding a Pin is when a user finds an image on a website that they would like to Pin. The benefit of adding a pin this way is that the URL associated with the image provides a link back, which encourages more traffic. This link is kept regardless of how many people Repin the image so that anyone who sees the image can click on it to see where is originated from. For example user would like to ‘Pin’ a Persian recipe so that it is easy to find later on when they would like to make the dish.  Whilst signed in to Pinterest click on the ‘Add +’ button located on the top right of the Pinterest interface.  Select ‘Add a Pin’ from the options in the window. Insert the URL of the page containing the image then press ‘Find Image’.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 119

The dropdown also allows you to create a new board.Click through toget correct image.Once everything is filled Share Pin via Twitterout, click ‘Pin It’. and/or Facebook. Tag the image with descriptive words that will make the image searchable to others.38.2 Upload a Pin The difference between ‘Adding a Pin’ and ‘Uploading a Pin’ is that the image you are adding is being uploaded from your computer. For example user would like to ‘Pin’ an image they have taken of their cat to add to the ‘Pets’ category.  Whilst signed in to Pinterest click on the ‘Add +’ button located on the top right of the Pinterest interface.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 121

Details on installing the ‘Pin It’ button for your browser can be found here: http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/.38.4 Repin A ‘Repin’ is similar to a ‘RT’ on Twitter. It means that a user has reposted someone else’s’ Pin on to one of their pin boards. To Repin an image, simply click the ‘Repin’ button, choose the board that you would like to Pin it to and edit the description.© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 124

38.5 Tagging Tagging an image is very important as it make the image more searchable. Use variations of a term that people might use to search will increase the likelihood that it will be brought up in a search result. For example is someone wanted to look for Formula One images they might type ‘F1’, ‘Formula 1’ or ‘Formula One’.38.6 What to pin Fresh Egg suggests Pining a range of images and video content. The main thing to remember is that users are drawn to images they can relate to, want to buy or visit and that they perceive as being part of their lifestyle. As well as pinning products, pin interesting images from your blog and news sections that will . Fresh Egg would also advise repining other users images that relate to your brand or industry to encourage engagement with users.38.7 When to pin As with other social media platforms Pinterest is more active between 12-2 and in the evenings. Pins are more likely to incur Repins or likes during these periods.38.8 Search Function The search bar is located on the top left of the user interface. The search bar can be used in 3 different ways: 38.8.1 Search Pins This will provide any ‘Pins’ or images that have been described or tagged with the search term. 38.8.2 Search Boards This will provide any boards named using the search term. 38.8.3 Search People This will provide any people whose username contains the search term.38.9 Boards© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 125

39. Engagement 39.1 Following a user Fresh Egg recommends following back any user that follows you or that has pins or boards related to the brand or industry, this means that they are likely to pin more images in that category.

To follow a user either click on one of their pins and click the follow button. To look at the users pins or boards before following the user click on the username to view their Profile and select ‘Follow All’. 39.2 Following a board Some users may have a mass of boards and pin a lot of images in categories unrelated to your brand, Pinterest allows users to follow individual boards. To select individual boards to follow go to the users profile and select ‘Follow’ on the appropriate boards.40. Copyright Issues 40.1 Legal Issues In recent months there has been a lot of talking about how legal Pinterest is and how it’s users could be held responsible for copyright. Pinterest has recently updated its Terms and Conditions. Originally Pinterests’ Terms of Service stated that by posting content to Pinterest users grant Pinterest the right to sell your content, this has now been changed. However copyright is still an issue on Pinterest and users who frequently infringe the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others will have their accounts terminated. Although a lot of people have been asking about the legality of Pinterest and pinning images, in essence it is no different from sharing an image or link on Facebook or Twitter. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) Pinterest will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Pinterest website that are reported to Pinterest’s Designated Copyright Agent. Pinterests detailed Copyright and Trademark policies can be found at https://pinterest.com/about/. 40.2 Pin Blocking If you would prefer that the images on your website were not pinned for any reason then Pinterest has a small piece of code that will need to be inserted in the header of the applicable page. <meta name=”pinterest” content=”nopin”/> If a user tries to pin an image from a site with this code they will receive the message: “This site doesn’t allow pinning to Pinterest. Please contact the owner with any questions. Thanks for visiting.”© 2012 Fresh Egg Limited – The Science of Social Media 131
