Facebook Metrics Nonprofits Need To Know
If you are a social media data junky, then you are in luck because M&R and NTEN recently analyzed Facebook statistics for the 40 organizations surveyed in their 2011 eNonprofit Benchmarks Study. They categorized organizations as small, medium, or large, based on the number of fans their pages have, and also looked at groups by sector.
Check out some of the Facebook data findings:
Comparing email subscribers to Facebook page users – On average, the nonprofits studied had 110 Facebook fans per 1000 email list subscribers. The Wildlife/Animal Welfare sector had the highest ratio of Facebook users to email subscribers at 242 per 1000. “If groups had a lot of email subscribers, they tended to have lots of Facebook fans,” said the study.
Opting out – Unlike your email list subscribers, Facebook page users can opt out of receiving your posts in their news feed while still being counted as “likes.” The study used both opt-outs and “unlikes” to calculate churn rates. These varied only slightly by sector, and not at all by organization size, with the average for churn rate at 14%.
In a future study, it would be great to see if there is a correlation between frequency and/or quality of posts and opt-out rates.

Will The BlackBerry Get A Facebook Button Today? [RUMOR] (RIMM)
Hopefully not, although they might just announce an officially-branded Facebook device.
BlackBerry posted this slightly cryptic message to its Facebook page:
Hey Team BlackBerry, what's shiny, new and social all over? We want to tell you all about it. Can you guess what it might be? Tune in tomorrow for details!
Well, that tomorrow is today, and all the speculation points to a Zuckerberg-approved BlackBerry.
It's also possible this could be part of BlackBerry's Torch 2 touchscreen phone. Stay tuned.

The Decline And Fall Of Facebook
Roger McNamee is a smart guy and a very successful investor as a co-founder of Elevation Partners. He made a breakfast presentation last month at thePaley Center for Media in Los Angeles that is well worth watching. I could probably get half a dozen columns out of this one speech, but the part I want to concentrate on here is McNamee’s claim that when it comes to social media, Facebook (in which he was an early investor) has already won. I’m not here to say Roger is wrong, just that I am not exactly sure what Facebook is winning.

Comment on Is Google+ a bigger threat to Twitter than it is to Facebook? by mike
I think it is an interesting point that the forced brevity of twitter makes it easier to follow lots of people.
However, G+ could easily adapt a 'headline/article' format.
Give the 'headline' area a couple hundred words maybe.
Then, when following you would have the choice of following full or just headlines.
The 'headlines' would have quick links to unfold the full post of course. Maybe also indicators if the post contains pics or other meta.
So - essentially the 'headline' could be used unto itself like twitter or it could be used as an opening paragraph laying out the topic of the longer post.

Why It's So Important For Facebook To Work On Every Phone
Today's announcement of a version of Facebook for low-end feature phones is part of the company's stated plans to reach literally every person in the world in five years.
As Facebook platform manager Carl Sjogreen explained last week, "our focus is making every mobile device, from the lowest-end feature phone to highest-end smartphone, capable of interacting with Facebook in meaningful ways."
The new app, Facebook for Every Phone, brings Facebook to more than 2,500 phones, including lots of phones used in huge countries like Brazil, India, and Indonesia, where full-fledged smartphones are too expensive for most consumers.
On a basic level this is obvious -- like any company, Facebook wants its product to be used as widely as possible.
But Sjogreen also gave an interesting explanation of why being cross-platform is particularly important for social apps.
Take for example the Words With Friends mobile game (which was acquired by Zynga earlier this year). It's only fun if you can play it with other people. Even if I have it on my Android phone, if my best friend can't use it on his phone, then neither of us will play.
It's almost like a reverse-network effect -- without broad cross-platform support, you can lose customers on platforms that you DO support.
Sjogreen was explaining all of this as a reason why Facebook is bullish on HTML5 for its long-term developer strategy. By building a platform that lets social developers write their apps once to run on multiple mobile platforms, Facebook is doing them a big favor. Otherwise, they'd have to write native apps for each platform -- a big and expensive time sink.
(Facebook still won't talk about the other big rumored reason why it's moving to HTML5 -- to create an alternative to the Apple App Store and other single-platform stores, compete with a Facebook-run payments system. But it's probably true, and it's a great move in itself.)
