Marketers tend to treat social media as they would other traditional media. Find where the most eyeballs are and chase them. The difference is huge, though. Within social networks, there are three activities:
- Observation – an audience that simply follows and captures the information for their own personal use.
- Interaction – a community that responds and provides feedback to the information that’s distributed.
- Promotion – people within the audience or community who share the information with their audience and/or community.
For companies interacting in social media, these activities are difficult – if not impossible – to analyze and predict. There’s a plethora of social media analytics platforms out on the market, but most of them are unidimensional… providing metrics limited to reach and sharing.
There is currently a clear and evident need for marketers to understand and leverage the possible impacts of social marketing. Tellagence answers that need. We created the science that predicts behavior in contextual online networks. Tellagence helps you reach your social marketing potential by maximizing your Twitter reach.
Tellagence doesn’t necessarily propose a solution to the problems I document here, but they do hope to provide more predictive intelligence to the overall social marketing spectrum, starting with Twitter.

How is Tellagence different?

Tellagence marries human behavioral science with high-computative predictive modeling to consider the affects of elements such as decision making, increase or decrease in strength of relationships, and network roles.

It is essential that most small businesses have a Facebook page to
build their brand, communicate with customers and fans, and to maintain
positive PR. Without a Facebook presence, a business can be left behind their
competitors, particularly those who have chosen to fully embrace social media.
