Analytics Rule!

Social media continues to play an important role in communications for companies, projects and people. Facebook, the most popular social network, helps companies analyze their impact on its platform by providing insights on all interactions. Other social networks such as Twitter and Pinterest have recently launched their analytics tools, which are very helpful to users! Kudos.
 

 

The Social Media Dictionary

Social media created a culture and lifestyle change everywhere in the world. Not surprisingly, they also changed and added to our vocabulary. Words like “Selfie” and “Emoji” have come out of this social media age. Selfie was the Oxford Dictionary Word of the Year for 2013. Even words like “Tweet” now mean something totally different. Before Twitter, using tweet may have been a reference to a bird chirping. Now it means a status update of 140 characters or less on Twitter.
