A main criticism of social media is that it's impossible to measure its impact. 

Not so, says KD Paine, author of the new book "Measuring Public Relationships."

Paine has made a career of social media measurement; in addition to her recent book, she is also the founder and CEO of KD Paine & Partners LLC and writes her own blog, PR Measurement.

Recently, HubSpot's Rick Burnes caught up with Paine. He spoke with her about today's marketplace, ways to form relationships with stakeholders and some current success stories.

On Ford's Social Media Success

From the video above:  "They say, 'Ford is not like the other three,' and because they're not like the other three, that's why they're selling cars. That's their key message, and you can track that through social media."

 

On Measuring Reputations

From the video above: "All those things [like reputation] are intangible, but you can make them very measurable."

 

On Measurement Priorities

From the video above: "Figure out what's not working; don't try to justify your existence."

I have no issue with the industry experts using video clips, and it seems to be very popular at the moment. Unfortunately for us in deepest darkest Africa (ok, not quite so dark!) downloding video clips is a slow, painful process, to the point that I often give up and then miss out on some really good stuff. Not sure what the answer is but it is frustrating for us little people out there.
