Twitter sent people into a panic today when they set everyone’s followers count to 0. This was in response to a hack that Gizmodo outted:

People were using the hack to make famous people follow their account. It is pretty shocking when you see how vulnerable your online information really is.
Everything seems to be back to normal now but remember when you put your information online anything can happen so only put things out there you don’t mind being exposed to others!

I was recently putting together a document for benchmarks involving Social Media, and to make sure I wasn’t missing anything I did a Google search to see if I was missing any benchmarks. What I found was interesting was most everything was for pay, which makes little sense. There isn’t much giving away of intellectual property with sharing how to set goals? So with that, here are 5 benchmarks that your social media presence can strive for. If you reach these goals you will see success:
Twitter- Number of followers. In order to effectively spread your message and engage successfully we suggest organically getting over 1000 followers, and over 100 Tweets.
Facebook Fanpage – Once you get to 50 posts with unique content (articles and blogs), and over 200 followers you will see some calls to actions occur.
LinkedIn Group – Same deal with 50 posts, but with Linked In usually 100 followers on LinkedIn does the trick. We have found most folks on LinkedIn are inclined to participate in business ventures then on Facebook. So less is more!
Youtube – Once you get 15 new video posted and shared in Social Bookmarking channels and embedded in your blog or social website, you will start seeing success. Remember unique content is key, so these videos need to be created by you and your organization.
Alexa – We have seen a direct correlation between traffic ranking under 800,000 and social media success. If you do your due diligence of sharing your unique content in DoFollow Social Media channels with the link pointing back to your blog or social website, you will start seeing success at achieving your business objectives once you get under 800,000 (lower the better- Facebook is ranked 4 in the world). Share the link to your unique content in as many Do follow Social Media channels! It is laborious, but incredibly important.
We have well over 200 benchmarks that we share with our clients. But these are 5 benchmarks that will help you be successful using Social Media if you do your due diligence (commitment to unique content) and track to these markers. Don’t hesitate to contact Authority Domains if you need additional help or guidance.
Some of these videos are well done but most of them are hilarious failures. You have to wonder what some of these folks were thinking!

Ok so first, I finally gave in to Twittering. Yup, that’s right I’m officially a Twitter addict. Its an awesome way to stay updated on what’s going on in the industry and the world at large but one thing bothers the hell out of me: its always at capacity and they had to “disable” the replies tab because they’re overflowing.
So its fun, but a royal pain in the ass when its over capacity. I’ve also found a lot of my fav bloggers and its amazing how much you can find out about someone from a Tweet;p
And yes, I tend to follow those who follow me, but only after I’ve checked them out and if I’ve found something I like. I think following someone or courting followers just to see your numbers rise is bs, quite frankly, and devalues a tool like Twitter in the first place.
On the other hand, I think Twitter is also easily molded. You can use it for whatever specific purpose you have in mind, whether its keeping up with industry news, making new friends or contacts in your industry or building up a fan base.
Thoughts?
