Can you recommend a social media guide?
-
We have a summer intern we need to give a handbook/guide on social media strategies, best practices, etc. Any recommendations? It can be free or paid, as long as it is accurate and up-to-date!
-
I'd probably go with a book - either Inbound Marketing or Friends With Benefits

I have never seen a definitive guide I have liked since so much changes all the time, so I usually get info from a bunch of different articles. I've included a few I reference occasionally.
I like SEOMoz's: http://www.seomoz.org/article/social-media-marketing-tactics
That is a great reference if you are looking to prioritize sites or social networks.
I also like Dr. Pete's, although it's not really a full on how-to:
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/build-your-social-media-embassies
There's a nice little part on the infographic here:

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/7-new-tips-for-running-a-twitter-giveaway
I'm sure others will have more suggestions, possibly something a little more hands on.

Social Media Presence For Medical Equipment Providers
Selling medical equipment to everyone from hospitals, nursing homes, & dealers to selling medical equipment to every individual that doesn't have insurance (at great prices) is what we do.

Twitter, Please direct me to background image guide
Hi guys, I'm having trouble coming up with a proper twitter background. I'm just going to start with a simple solid green with branding info in the top left. Do you guys know of an article that gives me the exact dimensions and placement to put things as far as where to put my logo and name in the background image and how wide and tall to make my logo and name. Or you can just tell me, but an article would be fine. The articles I've read are not consistent. Thank you!

Social Media Campaigns
Hey SEOmoz Community, I have a couple questions about social media campaigns. Which KPIs do you use for social media campaigns? How do you determine realistic campaign goals? I am looking at projecting the number of followers/fans and the amount of traffic a site can expect to see as a result of this growth. Any suggestions. Thanks! Geoff
