25. SAS Perspectives 7/12/2011 #aimasocial @jakeaull @blatantlybianca @teresacaro 25 Track the Elusive Sentiment “Customers want to take what they are hearing and learning from online conversations, and put some action to it… The key lies in being precise in extracting and taggingsentiment.” Text analytic tools can categorize online content, uncover linked concepts, and reveal the sentiment in a conversation as “positive,” “negative” or “neutral,” based on the words people use. The technology gets down to very specific elements and can separate positive and negative remarks within a single comment. “A mixed-polarity phrase, such as ‘hotel in great location but bathroom was smelly’ should not be tagged as ‘neutral,’ if you want it to be actionable,” said Chaves. “Be specific; ‘bathroom was smelly’ is something someone can own and improve upon.” You can classify and categorize these sentiments, look at trends over time, and see significant differences in the way people speak either positively or negatively about you. Furthermore, you can compare sentiment about your brand to your competitors.

28. Free Digital Marketing Tools You Need to Know 7/12/2011 #aimasocial @jakeaull @blatantlybianca @teresacaro 28 Internet research. Competitive analysis. Project management. SEO. Social networking. Content collaboration and sharing... These are essentials for digital marketing today. And interestingly because of today’s freemium internet business models, there are more and more great free tools available to do these functions! And I don’t mean free trials with automatic credit card deductions after the first month – I mean entirely free basic plans offered (but you might have to dig around a bit to find these free plan options). Intrigued? Very well – hence and without further ado – Jake’s list of great free tools: SEO Book Tools and Toolbar (for keyword, site and competitive analysis, social reputation measurement and search; e.g. Compete.com, SEMRush, SEOMoz, etc.) iSpionage.com and spyfu.com (spy tools doing similar functions to above) Google tools (Google Webmaster tools, Alerts, Analytics, AdWords; keyword analysis, monitoring and search) HootSuite(social media dashboard, network management, stats and monitoring) WordPress (blogs, websites, inbound/outbound link stats)… See the complete list on Jake’s blog post, and comment with your own favorite tools: http://bit.ly/qHCRBn

We’re not here today to discuss whether or not Google will be successful in general and an opportunity for business.
And even thought I’d like to think our presentation is going to be “awesome” … we’re not going to talk about Facebook and Skype today.
And if you want to discuss gamefication, we’re excited to have this discussion take place at an AiMA evening event next August.
Instead of the fun, cool stuff about social. This one presentation is about the tools we need to make our jobs easier – to tame this wild beast aptly named “real-time” marketing. This is the situation we all face in the space. Whether we are vendors, agencies, or brands. For its 2011 report, Real Story Group evaluated over 200 Content Technology Vendors. Now only 27 of them were collaboration & social software vendors (point out this line in this image). Yet, it’s important to point out that they are known and considered enterprise level solutions. What about the hundred solutions knocking on our door? How do you know what you need? When do you need it?
But that’s enough about my soap box. Bianca has lived this in one of the most regulated industries out there.
