Will Google offer services that upend the social media analytics market?

Earlier this year, renowned enterprise social technology experts and Altimeter Group Partners   Jeremiah Owyang and Charline Li , held a webinar entitled “Developing A Social Strategy” that had over 495 participants. Regrettably, I was not present for the live webinar but I watched a recording which the Altimeter Group was nice enough to post to their website.

One observation in particular made by Mr Owyang has gotten me thinking about the effect of the slowly evolving  semantic web on analytics platforms like Radian6 and ScoutLabs.

Here’s what Owyang had to say about Radian6, Scoutlabs, and the many other analytics platforms (the words after “produce” were hard for me to decipher):

“These products alone really are just a commodity and we should expect large search engines to produce [?tools like?] this in the future.”

I do not know what was meant by this comment but it has prompted me to consider the following:

1. Will search engines like google directly compete with the services offered by these very sophisticated analytics platforms which now include customizable, multi-user interfaces, such as the recently announced Radian6 Enagagement Conssole ?

2. If so, what role, if any, will the semantic web play in prompting the search engines to contend more aggressively in this space?

Comment away! I would really appreciate any insights the community would like to share.

So you've been running a display ad campaign and you're click thru rate is lower than you'd like it to be. What to do? Here are three tips for boosting click thru rates on display ad banners: Add animation Add a clear call to action button Split test different creative variations Regarding 1 and 2, if you have a designer on staff, I highly recommend using either bannersnack.com or canva.com. Both are super easy to use. Bannersnack will allow you to create fully animated html5 banners with solid call to action buttons that are (this is very important) fully compliant with ad serving platforms like the one we use to allow proper click tracking.

Companies large and small are often criticized for acting like inexperienced children or sophomoric students in their approach to social media.  But I’d argue that in some cases, the former, child-like approach, may not actually be as foolish – or childish – as it sounds.
