6. Why it matters

7. Social Media Tools

8. Social Media Tools Social Media Tools help you track the basic “who, what, where” of online conversation: What’s being said Who is saying it Where it’s being said Tools

9. Social Media Tools The basic data these programs primarily deliver (and process) unformatted text – appropriately named a “river of news”: However Social Media data is generated Social Media Tools assume that someone – some human – is reading and reacting Tools

10. Repurposing Tools for Measurement Measurement and Monitoring are fundamentally different functions, But with creativity and tool development a new paradigm of Social Media reporting is here Tools

11. Challenges Social Media Reporting with the current generation of Social Media Monitoring tools present several challenges: Tools

12. The Three C’s of Social Media Getting the Data Right Where you Want it Three C’s

13. Profile Development Core terms can generate huge amounts of traffic: “ Michelle Obama” 96,782 Posts in 30 days (July 7 – Aug 5, 2010) “ Obama” generates 2,902,044 Posts Targeting search criteria can reduce the volume, but conversations can still be very large Culling Data

14. Profile Development Potentially significant topics are easily lost in data quality noise: Michelle Obama visits Spain (Michelle Obama) AND (Spain) 8,613 Posts July 7 – Aug 5, 2010 Culling Data

15. Profile Development Useful evaluation of a topic requires careful definition of the topic’s search criteria: Search Criteria: (Michelle)AND(Obama)+ (Spain) – 8,613 Posts Further investigation reveals unrelated posts in search group. Off Topic Posts Michelle Obama Visits Spain Culling Data

16. Search Criteria require ongoing adjustment to identify key new topics of conversation and clean out off topic posts Key Takeaway Culling Data

17. Classification How do we Populate the Framework?

19. Basic Metrics by Class Classifying Data

21. Only a small fraction of posts are automatically rated positive or negative by social media monitoring tools Case Study: Less than 8% of posts are rated and only 3.5% give a negative sentiment rating for “Michelle Obama” during the highly critical online conversation discussing her trip to Spain on 8/4/10 A Caution About Sentiment Classifying Data

22. While the accuracy of sentiment rating is reported by tool vendors as 60% accurate, in practice we frequently observe error rates greater than 50% Positive Rated Post Of Those, Many are Wrong Classifying Data

23. Key Takeaway The primary dimensions of social media measurement are behavioral: topic, sentiment, source, influencer, impact. Use of automated sentiment is not recommended at this time Classifying Data
