More than ever businesses are embracing the impact of good customer service through their social media, especially Twitter and Facebook. It’s incredibly awesome to see companies like @Bufferapp and @Techsmith do it right and really shine in this area. I’m a loyal, paying customer to both.

My tweet showing @bufferapp some love. The Founder/CEO promptly replied. It got his attention!

 

I was having an issue in need of assistance. Åsa promptly responded to my request and cheerfully helped me correct a problem on my end.

 

Techsmith, like Buffer, values its customers and goes out of their way to communicate with them on social media. I asked a question on Twitter and received a prompt response. This solidifies my relationship with the company.

Women Lead Men in Social Media Adoption

Interesting stats came across my desk today that show women leading the men when it comes to adopting social media. And no surprise women are still crushing it on Pinterest.

According to a March 2013 survey conducted by Burst Media, 65.4 percent of American adults have at least one social media account for personal use, with women being more likely than men to have an account with six of the Top 7 social networks. Especially visual services such as Pinterest and Instagram appeal more to women, whereas LinkedIn, a network predominantly used for professional reasons, is the only network that sees higher adoption among men.

Not surprisingly, the survey reveals Facebook as the most popular networking service. More than half of all respondents stated to have an account with the world’s largest social network. Meanwhile Google+, a service launched just three years ago, has established itself as the No.2 network in the United States. One quarter of the survey respondents have an account with Google’s Facebook rival, which continues to fight its image as a deserted wasteland.

4 Reasons Why I Upgraded To The New Pinterest

In case you haven’t heard, Pinterest made a major upgrade to their site last month. I made the change and love it!

Here are 4 great reasons to upgrade now:

1. Bigger pins
This is the best part of the upgrade – bigger images! Everything is bigger and bolder here. It’s exactly what I’d expect from Pinterest, after all it’s a visual photo sharing site.

2. Simpler Navigation
It’s clean and easy to navigation around the site. This makes me want to stay on the site longer and play!

3. Analytics
It’s about time! Now you can easily see stats but you have to verify your account first. And the stats don’t start until you upgrade to the new Pinterest.

4. Easier to rearrange your boards
They got rid of the pesky rearrange board button so now you just drag and drop the boards. This is way better!
