60 Seconds of Social Media

Just how much do we view and share?

175,000 tweets a minute or just over 2,900 a second, is that a lot? Found this info graphic on Wall Blog, originally came from Social Jump Start, short but sweet look at sharing on the main social networks and gives you an idea of the scale and usage of those that dominate and of those that are trying to catch up.

How much do we share on social media sites

Collect Videos on YouTube

Very straightforward to do

If we want to post something onto our website such as images (Large ones normally) or video we often store them externally and then simply embed. Take a look at the video below; it is stored on our YouTube channel and we simple copy and past the embed code, very straightforward.

Why?

Storage is one thing, but the main reason is to set up a reference point online that links back to our website, we tend to favour YouTube but you can use Vimeo as well. (There are plenty of other services out there) YouTube allows you to brand your channel and add a description and logo. We don’t make many videos but we do add useful stuff to our channel for our clients. Thats it really, just a matter of good housekeeping with some SEO benefits.

BTW: You can make your own ‘Search On’ video, try searching on Google to find the link!
