MXit and Facebook lead the way in user numbers, while Twitter has seen the most dramatic growth in social networking in the past year, and BlackBerry Messenger is the fastest growing network in the second half of 2011.

These are among the key findings of a new study released today by Fuseware and World Wide Worx, entitled South African Social Media Landscape 2011.

“The question of how many South Africans use each of the major social networks comes up so often, it became a priority for us to pin down the numbers,” says Michal Wronski, Managing Director of information analysts Fuseware and co-author of the report. “The data was collected through a combination of Fuseware’s analysis of social network databases, information provided directly by social networks, and World Wide Worx’s consumer market research.”

An analysis of Fuseware’s extensive database of Twitter usage, in conjunction with World Wide Worx’s consumer market research, shows that there were 1,1-million Twitter users in South Africa in mid-2011. This is a 20-fold increase in a little more than a year.

“One of the drivers of growth of Twitter is the media obsession with the network,” says report co-author Arthur Goldstuck, managing director of World Wide Worx. “Most radio and TV personalities with large audiences are engaged in intensive campaigns to drive their listeners and viewers to both Twitter and Facebook. The former, coming off a very low base, is therefore seeing the greatest growth.”

As in the global environment, not all Twitter users are active users, with only 40% tweeting, but probably as many simply watching, following and using it as a breaking news service.

MXit remains the most popular social network in South Africa, with approximately 10-million active users. Its demographic mix runs counter to the popular media image of MXit as a teen-dominated environment. No less than 76% of the male user base of MXit and 73% of female users are aged 18 or over.

A surprising finding emerged from analysis of Facebook data. Of approximately 4.2-million Facebook users in South Africa by August 2011, only 3.2 million had visited the site in the year-to-date.

“This is partly a factor of many users moving on once the novelty of the site had worn off, as well as a result of the fickle nature of the youth market,” says Wronski. “Once BBM picked up significant traction in private schools, for example, many teenagers who had previously flocked to Facebook, opted for BBM’s greater immediacy.”

While LinkedIn, aimed at professional users, also reached the 1,1-million mark, it came off a far higher base – but still saw 83% growth of South African users from 2010 to 2011. Of these, 112 000 or 10% are business owners.

Consumer research analysed in the report revealed that future intention of usage of most social networks is strongly related to age. The younger the user, the greater the intention of usage.

“This is only one of many micro-trends shaping social networking,” says Goldstuck. “MXit, Facebook and BBM statistics illustrate, for example, that as social networks become more mainstream, their penetration within all age ranges deepens. This, in turn, will result in the continual flattening of the age curve as social networks mature.”

However, we have noticed that a significant proportion of people connect their Foursquare accounts into Twitter, to auto-update their statuses when checking in to places.

We have analyzed every single tweet in South Africa for the past 6 months containing Foursquare checkins and mayorships, and found the following figures:

Total number of check-ins and mayorships: 45000 over the last 6 months

Total number of unique users checking in: 7800

Top locations being checked into, country wide:

Neighbourhood, a restaurant / bar in Cape Town, has been the single most checked into place in the country, as extrapolated via Twitter results.

Rafikis comes in spot number 2, which is also a bar in Cape Town. It seems that Cape Town, as shown by Fuseware’s Twitter stats from last year, also seems to be the early adopter crowd for Foursquare.

Beyond that, we have a collection of pubs, restaurants, gyms and airports that trail close behind.

Top 5 users Checking In

There are a couple of die-hard Foursquare users already, with @lindirudnicki coming at the top – averaging two checkins per day for the last 6 months.

Traffic Statistics for Foursquare: (excluding those using the Foursquare app)

Audience Interests for Foursquare:(excluding those using the Foursquare app)

So What Are the Absolute Numbers?
We can make an educated guess taking into account multiple data sources, that there are any number between 30000 and 50000 users in South Africa on Foursquare. Although this shows that the network still has a way to go before it becomes mainstream, explosive viral growth is not out of the question. The active number of Twitter users in May of last year was given as 55000, and this number has grown nearly 10 fold since then.

Important Note

This data does not in any way represent the overall usage of Foursquare in SA. It shows how Foursquare is being used by everyone in the country that has connected their Foursquare accounts to Twitter, and who accesses Foursquare on a browser instead of the application. However, we can still make some useful extrapolations from this data.

As the days progressed, South Africans had their voices and sentiments heard on Twitter. We have analyzed these mentions to see exactly what we said. All results in this post are from South Africans talking about Oslo on Twitter.

Word Cloud

As seen above, the word cloud shows how people discussed the terrorist attack. It was linked it to a Christian bomber, as well as accusations of Isreal’s Mossad being behind the attack. In light of the recent death of Amy Winehouse, some people felt it important to mention their condolences for both tragedies in the same tweet.

Sentiment Graph

Our state of the art sentiment algorithm shows that most people felt extreme uneasiness and sadness regarding the incidents, but there was a notable lack of other negative emotions such as anger and loathing.

Overall Sentiment

The overall sentiment was highly negative, of course. The scale sits at 25%, indicating very high negativity in the mentions.

Top Emotions

We matched the emotive words used in all tweets to show a word cloud of top emotions.

Top Locations

Most tweets originated from Johannesburg. We also picked up on a few tweets from tourists within the country talking about the tragedy, notably the U.S.A.

Most Influential Hashtags

Most hashtags were related to the attacks directly. This shows the top hashtags used in tweets over the last few days after the attack.

Most Active Users

These users are the ones that tweeted most about the attack. User @whumba is at the top, which appears to be an Islam related account.

Most Mentioned Users

Gareth Cliff from 5FM was the most mentioned user in all Oslo related tweets. This was due to the reweet of his tweet, as given in the top tweets below:

Top Tweets

The top tweet, most influential and retweeted by SA, was created by 5FM’s Gareth Cliff.

Social media monitoring is normally used for online reputation management – making sure your online audience’s perception of you aligns with your business’s marketing goals.

It can also be used in many ways to help streamline your sales funnel and increase your bottom line. Many companies monitor what is being said online using a range of free and/or paid tools available – as long as they avoid the pitfalls in social media monitoring. In this post, we list some of the best strategies one can use to leverage their social media monitoring tool to help increase sales.

1. Market sentiment about products/company
   Any tool can monitor social media keywords, but not many get sentiment analysis quite right. With the right sentiment analysis on large volumes of mentions, you can figure out which of your products have the most positive response, and which need to be rethought. Drilling down across advanced sentiment such as fear, anger, joy, excitement and happiness isn’t easy, but if done correctly can show unique insights that would be very cost prohibitive if done with traditional focus groups and surveys.
2. Investigate your competitors and what they are doing right (and wrong)
   Make sure to create brand profiles of your competitors, and see what people love and dislike about them. Using this information can give you a definite strategic advantage over the competition, since you are monitoring unfiltered words direct from the mouths of consumers. Comparing the equivalent sentiments of your top competitors to yourself, you can create a detailed profile of how best to focus on your company’s strengths while taking into account your competitors’ weaknesses.
3. Push promotions to the right audience at the right time
   With the right social media analysis on your mentions, you can easily figure out which times of day your audience interacts with your brand the most, and from which locations. This can set you ahead of the pack by allowing you to strategically publish your content at the perfect time to the right social media channels. This decreases costs associated with inbound lead generation from content, while increasing the “return on engagement” by maximizing the views of your content.
4. Finding and tagging leads for your existing products
   You can monitor an entire industry in the social media space (for example mentions of certain clothing within a city). These can then be seen as qualified leads that are ready and willing to buy into your products. If you have a corporate presence on the respective social media channel, it is easy and free to engage with them and pique their interest. The tricky part here is figuring out your industry keywords that are focused enough to find leads that do not yet know about your company and products.
5. Influencer scouting and engaging
   Perhaps one of the most important points in this list, it is extremely beneficial to take note of your brand champions and abassadors. These are the people who lead tribes of others, and convert their friends to use your brand. They need to be engaged with, nurtured and strategically rewarded for the benefits they bring to your company. The right social media tool can easily find the top influencers and allow you to engage with them in a social CRM interface.
6. Market research for new product lines and advertising campaigns
   This typically falls under the topic of crowdsourcing, which goes hand in hand with social media. A social media tool can show trends of what words are spoken about the most, giving hints into the needs of your target markets. This allows you to conduct research into expanding your existing product lines, and improving and refocusing marketing campaigns. The benefit of this is immense, and with the right content strategy and execution can bring real benefits to increasing your bottom line.
7. Investigating social media channels to focus on
   Unless you have massive personelle resources, it doesn’t make sense to engage on as many channels as you possibly can. This will thin out your content strategy, and your messages will appear to be unfocused. Analysis of the top channels where your online audience is talking, is key to engaging and focusing on only those channels. If your fans are on Facebook, and there is almost no buzz on Twitter, it is much easier to plan a social media strategy and campaign by focusing on the top social network.

However, the choice of tool isn’t everything. Perhaps more important than the choice of tool are the people using it – as they are the ones that set up brand profiles, harness insight and often engage with the influencers. These are several pitfalls to avoid when using social media monitoring tools:

1. Understand your tool and its limits. Every tool out there has a set of features, as well as a set of limitations. Choose one that best fits your organization’s needs, goals and budget before using it.
2. Understand your audience. Not just the demographics that the tool spits out. How does this confirm with your traditional research through polls and surveys? Do you understand what your specific online audience wants – since this is almost certainly a subset of your company’s target market and needs to be treated uniquely.
3. Cross-correlate data. Some tools are better at helping you with this than others, but its important to be able to extract human insights that no tool currently in existence can give. Do the influencers talking about you on Thursday afternoons correlate with the 2 for 1 special you launched earlier, while correlating with your business’s finances? If you don’t do this, you aren’t getting the most out of your tool.
4. Return on engagement. Although traditional ROI is difficult to judge when it comes to social media, its important to understand the kind of engagement you are getting within your online communities by listening and interacting. Don’t focus on ROI, focus on ROE.
5. Analyze the trends. If you don’t see what your daily, weekly and monthly changes in brand mentions are like, you don’t know if your efforts are succeeding or failing. Keep a tight track of the overall trends of your brand and competitors over all of these time periods.
6. Don’t ignore the negative mentions. Negative mentions need to be dealt with swiftly and tactfully. Don’t assign a newbie member of staff to dealing with these – but a competent team member that understands the market and the environment in which the business operates. Whatever you do, don’t keep your head in the sand.
7. Keep track of your key contacts. It is important to keep track of all contacts you are engaging with, and how you have engaged with them in the past. This is important in order to track your key influencers, and export them into dedicated traditional CRM packages that your business may use.
8. Understand the real cost of your tool. Many tools may be free, but the human effort involved in using them makes it very costly to use. The real cost of using your tool also includes the human resources dedicated to being trained, using, understanding and grabbing insights from it. More expensive tools do most of the difficult work for you, freeing up your staff to focus on other things. If you are already paying somebody a non-trivial hourly rate to monitor your brand, make sure they are using the best tool they possibly can for the job, despite what its price may be.
9. Monitoring must be part of a larger social media effort. Monitoring is but one piece of the social media puzzle, which includes social media campaigns and profile management, engagement and CRM as well as analytics and reporting. If you aren’t using social media correctly in the first place, a monitoring tool isn’t going to help your efforts too much. Your company blog, social media accounts and profiles must all be branded, easily accessible and constantly engaged in order for your community to take you seriously.
10. If you want truly unique insights, an automated tool may not do the trick. This is why we offer our social media research and analysis services to companies. A social media monitoring tool can only take you so far – but sometimes very unique data needs to be extracted from your online audience, combining channels, influencers, conversations and demographics in completely unique ways.

What we found was predictable, but also insightful. The DA is much more involved in online interactions, and this is apparent from its online reach and discussions. The ANC’s online chatter revolves mainly around the infamous Julius Malema, and is largely negative. One can make the assumption that DA’s main following corresponds to higher LSM groups, which interact more often online, and thus has greater support in the online community.

Conversation Trends

Vodacom

Cell C

MTN

Vodacom has, by far, the most number of online conversations. MTN comes in second place, with Cell C trailing close behind. Despite Cell C’s best efforts, they are still the underdog when it comes to the share of online voice. Vodacom’s lead stems from the fact that they are sponsoring certain rugby events, as well as holding quizzes which people love to talk about.

Top Tweeter Occupations

Vodacom	Cell C	MTN

It is evident from this table of occupations that Vodacom attracts the younger student crowd, as well as the more creative crowd – in the form of designers and photographers. Cell C tends to attract the more technical crowd, hence the presence of the larger engineer tag. Interestingly, MTN has a following of entrepreneurs in the online space on Twitter.
