Tap Into the Power of Social Media Aggregation

The most tech savvy marketing and/or research campaigns involve multi-channel marketing. Until recent years, the biggest players in social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.) seemed to have their own separate user communities. This is reminiscent of computing before mobile devices changed the way we use the web. Cross platform compatibility was a major issue.

People were much more limited than they are today when it came to software selection. It wasn’t the technology so much as the way people were using it. As the demand for developers to create cross platform solutions grew, all sorts of useful tools for doing so cropped up. Now it’s much easier to pass data back and forth between platforms like Windows, iOS and Linux without even batting an eye.

As social media empires grew up, so did their users. Now it’s mandatory to have boons on more than one network. This is where content aggregation comes in. By using Flow-Flow Social Streams, you can take your social media game to the next level, exponentially increasing your chances of success.

This is part of modern web marketing. You can either ride the waves or get left behind. Building grids with feeds from many networks is how the best organizations get things done. These social walls drive user interaction in a big way. #Occupy movements are a strong example of this trend. Companies can capitalize by bringing brands, customers and fans together under one digital roof. This creates a much more consistent brand experience across the board than other forms of social media marketing.

Social media aggregation also increases the credibility of your website and marketing campaigns. Display posts in real-time from genuine fans and actual customers. The best publicity comes in the form of your reputation. Your customers can add solid social proof to your brand in a much more influential way than copywriters or canned testimonials.

How it Works

Social media aggregation with Flow-Flow is powerful and useful. You can consolidate all your accounts into one place. The plugin takes care of all the hard work. As a user all you need to do is select different feeds from social media sites. Flow-Flow will pull the feeds into the app and display it on your site. This gives you a reliable feed.

Multiple feeds in one stream

Some content aggregation apps or websites only provide links and categories. There is much to be desired in terms of design and function. Flow-Flow isn’t your average content aggregation tool. It does more than just pull content and give you links.

Your feeds are displayed with beautiful card style layouts. Create unlimited feeds for any purpose. By building custom streams for your visitor’s you can accomplish a number of goals.
