My Social Media Stats

It’s fair to say that in the the last few months I’ve been on a mission to embrace New/Social Media.  I currently have active accounts with FacebookLinkedInFlickrTwitterDeliciousfoursquareFeedburner and YouTube.    Having made the initial first steps of establishing the accounts I thought it would be interesting to look at my current social media stats.

Facebook: 68 friends
LinkedIn: 90 conections, 18 groups, 1 recommendation
Flickr: 14 images, 14 views
Twitter: 137 followers, following 130, 226 tweets
Delicious: 26 bookmarks
foursquare: 7 nights out, 8 check-ins
YouTube: 241 channel views

What does that tell me? Not a lot, but it will be interesting to review them in a few months and compare any growth or decline.  Social media is changing so quickly now that the stats could be drastically changed or could even include completely new mediums that haven’t even launched yet.

Interestingly enough the stats really don’t reveal anything interesting about the real benefit of social media, the two-way interaction that it allows you to make.  I may have posted 226 tweets but the what the stats don’t tell me is what these posts led to in terms of conversations and how many of these tweets were in response to my followers tweets.  I’m guessing there is something out there to analyse this so I’m off to find it.
