LinkedIn & BranchOut (Facebook): How are they Useful for Your Business Success?
A LinkedIn competitor is BranchOut. Several digital strategists have said that once you are IN, using a big application, like Facebook, you tend to want to stay there a while. That makes it worthy of a quick look to see if BOTH LinkedIn and BranchOut (a Facebook app) deserve your time. This can combine well with looking at the strategy choices on this website (see the chart on the Strategy page of this site.)

Think of your own experience with social media. Once you are working in Facebook or twitter or LinkedIn or reading a blog, do you switch over to another application easily?

Social Media Marketers need insights and analytics to manage Facebook fan pages. Facebook, as you might know, provides fan page analytics. It is available to Facebook page administrators, and works with pages that have at least 30 LIKES.
This article outlines information available directly from Facebook Insights, and then show how to take Facebook page analytics to the next level with Unilyzer, a business intelligence platform adapted for social analytics.
