New Social Media AutoMarketing Tool Direct From Twitter

Introducing Twitter Dashboard

For businesses, Twitter is a place to share news, tell stories, and have conversations that support, educate, and delight their customers. It's a place for authentic interactions – but we know that creating these kinds of connections isn't always easy for businesses that are time and resource-constrained. That's why we built a brand new app to help the busy people behind these businesses. Introducing: Twitter Dashboard.

Twitter Dashboard is a powerful tool designed to help businesses connect with their customers and community. Large, dedicated teams typically have the advantage of sophisticated tools provided by Twitter ecosystem partners. Today we're offering a free tool to give all businesses an advantage in the way they use Twitter. With an iOS app and desktop web experience, Dashboard offers a single destination to get things done. It gives business owners a clear picture of what's being said about their businesses, lets them schedule Tweets, and offers insights about their Tweet performance.

Dashboard can help you:

Easily engage with your audience
Create a custom feed to find out what's being said about your business. (Chances are there's more than the mentions you'd normally be notified about!) Use your custom feed to get right to the Tweets you want to see first and better engage with your community. For example, if you work at a cafe, you may see a Tweet from a customer who has a question about your hours. Or, if you're a boutique owner, you might see a Tweet from a potential customer talking about one of your products. The ability to see these Tweets at a glance offers endless opportunities for you to connect with customers and potential customers with responses that add value.

Tweet when the time is right
Now you can schedule Tweets to reach your audience when they're online and you're busy doing other things. If you want to edit your scheduled Tweets while you're on the go, you can use the iOS Dashboard app to update your Tweet queue.

Get Tweet ideas and inspiration
Kickstart your creative process with Tweet tips geared just for businesses. They can help you start conversations and engage your audience in those moments when you're not sure what to Tweet. For example, if you work at a restaurant, a tip like, "Your team is as unique as your business. Tweet a surprising fact about one of your team members," might remind you to share some recent recognition your chef received. Or, if you're an interior designer, seeing, "Share the love. Like and Retweet kind words from your customers," might prompt you to Retweet a customer's excited reaction to one of your recent projects.

We've heard from businesses about how they plan to integrate Twitter Dashboard into their marketing strategy:

Being able to easily schedule Tweets and manage my queue with Twitter Dashboard is critical to staying on track with our engagement campaigns on Twitter.

Logan Robinson, Social Media Manager@GarnetandGold

From our first use we could tell Twitter Dashboard would become an essential tool for our business. Not only is scheduling Tweets now a seamless experience, but having access to a custom timeline is helping us identify the best opportunities to engage with our customers and potential customers on Twitter.

Jeff Kitchen, Online Community Manager@Crutchfield

The Twitter Dashboard beta is available to all US-based businesses today. Go to dashboard.twitter.com or download Dashboard in the App Store.

Mexican Radio by WALL OF VOODOO

Lyrics to Mexican Radio by WALL OF VOODOO

*******************************
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that is older
I turn the switch and check the number
I leave it on when in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music
I buy the product and never use it
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand just what does he say?
I'm on a mexican radio.
I dial it in and tune the station
They talk about the U.S. inflation
I understand just a little
No comprende, it's a riddle
I'm on a mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
I'm on a mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
I wish I was in Tijuana
Eating barbequed iguana
I'd take requests on the telephone
I'm on a wavelength far from home
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
I dial it in from south of the border
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand just what does he say?
I'm on a mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
I'm on a mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
Radio radio... Radio radio... Radio radio...
I'm on a mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
I'm on a mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
Radio radio... What does he say ?

Social FreshFirebrand Group and Simply Measured surveyed 551 social media marketers worldwide and asked them to choose up to three social media platforms that they thought produced the best ROI. Almost all (95.8%) of social media marketers worldwide said Facebook did.

Additionally, nearly two-thirds (63.5%) of respondents said Twitter produced the best ROI, and 40.1% of social media marketers said Instagram did.

Surprisingly, only 2.1% of social media marketers said Snapchat produced the best ROI.

What's not surprising, however, is that marketers are continually turning to Facebook for their marketing efforts. The social media company continues the grow and is steadily adding new revenue streams.

According to eMarketer estimates, the population of Facebook reaches 1.43 billion monthly users by the end of the year.

In addition, mobile will account for 82.0% of Facebook's US digital ad revenue this year, eMarketer estimes. Ad revenues generated by Instagram and mobile video formats on Facebook will drive this growth. This year, Instagram is expected to earn $1.30 billion in the US ($1.53 billion worldwide) in mobile ad revenues. In the US, Instagram will represent 15.4% of Facebook's total mobile ad revenues.
