Know the flow
tools & theory for distributing social media content
Our Challenge
How can we extend content into the platform?
What role does this service play in my social strategy?
Roles
Most web properties can be classified as either an outpost or a channel
YOU ARE VALUABLE
your mission if you choose to accept it
Noise & Duplication will kill your relevance
Create segmentation where prudent
Chart your flow
Value your Network
When keywords become hashtags and hashtags become feeds and feeds are aggregated strategically. It is possible to touch data once and serve multiple niches and or communities, on the push side.
