Great presentation. Enjoyed the data and slides - love great slides that enhance the story.
The data showing users viewing, retweeting, etc on weekends is great. Most people I know avoid the end of the week and shoot for Tuesdays which seems like a safe time. When you think about it though how many people wait until Saturday when it's quite to go through things.
Thats a good demonstration, thanks for the lively demonstration of Social Media. Great job Guys
Dan is so doggone charming -- self-effacing, nerdily passionate, devoid of ego ... He could easily pull off his own tv show. He was almost wasting his immense talent on these Harvard students. Myself, I'm a new fan for life. go Dan!!!
Great presentation Dan, I find explaining social media to my customers tends to be hard. Is anybody getting the difference between a social media and a site like Google. Think about where the content comes from, Social media is "people" generated content which is what makes them social media such as Facebook.
I really enjoyed this talk.
There are number of intuitive concepts that get confirmed here and others that get rebuffed. Either way it is refreshing to see a talk that uses actual data while bring in references to Memetics and Evolutionary Psychology.
A couple of the intuitive concepts that are confirmed:
Increased self references equals fewer followers.
Increased negative remarks equals fewer followers.
Click-through-rate actually going up on weekends, goes against my own experiences and data sets, but it has me thinking about trying to release more content on the weekends. This especially includes longer multimedia content like video talks and podcast, that even if clicked through during the week, are unlikely to actually be viewed in a work environment.
Dan Zarrella's work is now firmly entrenched on my attention radar. I look forward to his continue research and talks.
Hi Dan the most interesting finding to me is that negative tweets =less followers. This appears to be the opposite of traditional news outlets that tend to focus on war, negativity, fighting, controversy, murder etc.
Very odd
I love Dan's blog. Maybe we should release his sayings (like the Sayings of Lao Tzu or Werner Erhardt, e.g.: Scarce knowledge is the most valuable. All that is viral is not good. Perpetually negative and self-referential people are destined to be alone. Hope is viral. Especially on weekends...
Of course, unlike other philosophers -- Dan has the data to prove his point :-)
Enjoyed your presentation Dan. Appreciate the fact-based approach to used in presenting the workshop. Looking forward to more webinars. Please let me know when you will be in the Washington DC Area. I host a business breakfast networking group. Would love to have you as a speaker.

Dan, you're right, you're not funny, but you gave me some great insight into how to approach my new clients. Much appreciated.
This is really a nice and informative video and the examples are awesome.
Interesting presentation, we at
www.winegifts4u.co.uk tend to do all our social media marketing Monday to Friday during normal working hours. Will probably have to re-think how we would could do more at weekends. Like the presentation style.
Dan, I wish I could have been present for this, but I am so glad that you and the team at HubSpot had camera's present and shared it with the world. I have seen some of those charts before, but for you to put a human feel to it really made things connect. You explained these amazing concepts successfully "at a 4th grade level" and at the same time were witty and approachable in your tone.
