What’s better than a social media flow chart? A social media flow chart built to resemble ladder logic diagram programming, that’s what! You know how you just sort of know when to follow a new twitter handle you’ve come across? Well, a marketing consultant has drawn up this chart, visualizing the internal process that goes on when deciding whether to follow that new twitter account. It’s always interesting to see things that we passively mull over all the time, without ever really articulating it ourselves. (Click the image to enlarge it.)

The designers over at JESS3 have been working on an infographic challenge to accurately depict the size of the players in the social media universe. This representation using a solar system model is the one they’ve launched, just this morning. You can see the rest of the entries on their flickr page.

eROI conducted a study of more than 500 marketers. The focus of the survey was two-fold: to determine the impact of mobile marketing in email and web marketing programs; and, identifying the importance and impact of social networks in relation to their email and web marketing efforts. The end result, according to eROI, was a better understanding of how marketers were using email, mobile and social, but also new ideas for better planning for and intergration of the available opportunities.
