social media polls Archives - The Social Penguin Blog

Back on May 20th we asked our readers to fill in a short poll with one question – ‘Have you been successful in convincing your business to adopt social media?’

The results have been counted and independently verified (not really) and are as follows:

Yes – 73%
Still working on it – 27%
No – 0%

We are sure if we had asked this question 12 months ago, the ‘No’ answer would have been much higher. Are the decision makers move savvy now? Are internal champions getting better at showing the value? Perhaps the emergence of solid case-studies have helped? Would be great to hear your thoughts in the comment section below…

THE POLL IS NOW CLOSED – RESULTS WILL BE PUBLISHED 05/03/2011 THANKS FOR VOTING!

This post was sparked off by a tweet I recently sent:

The tweet that got me thinking...

I have noticed an increased use in ‘SoMe’ in blog posts and comments – I just plain don’t like it, it makes me cringe a little. Many responded with similar views while others stated they were happy with its use. I tend to use ‘soc med’ – people may not be a fan of it either, but I think it does the job and saves space on the likes of Twitter. With Twitter in mind, hashtags can be far from uniform, leading to numerous searches for the same content, or the adding of many to a Tweet – #socialmedia #socmed #some #SM #S&M… see the issue?

So can we try to create a standard? I’m sure it would help us all in one way or another. Vote for your favourite below and let’s see if we can take it from there…

Look forward to hearing your views! Leave deeper thoughts in the comments!
