Default Facebook/Twitter app posts?

Hi all

I've been wondering about how many people actually post to Facebook or Twitter via your app? I've seen loads of comments about not spamming the users feed with too many posts which I completely agree with, but how many people actually go to the effort of entering their Facebook/Twitter details and then allow your app to post a comment to their news feed?

I've read that these stats are very low unless the app is based around social connecting such as Word with Friends or Bejeweled Blitz and even then the integration is focused around connecting not sharing comments. Would love to see some raw stats if people are willing to share, but general comments are helpful to. What's your thoughts? is it worth it?

Thanks

My experience is that very few people sign in your app/game if you dont give back some reward. I tough people were anxious for share scores or achievements so I integrate my game with facebook and twitter, but the result wasn't favorable.

On Bams Hunt we integrated Facebook posting capabilities both on the user wall and photo albums.
Bams Hunt is a game based on collectible creatures so we think can be a good thing for a player to share some achievement of the game with facebook friends.

From the developer side : it' s really enjoiable to look at the app stat trough facebook post. From what that say, you get huge visibility from the user wall posts. It's not hard to implement, and it's a plus for sure.

We will see how it gone on a game when Bams Hunt will be live... i'll keep you informed

It is depend upon the apps, according to me it is not benefit, since people not wish to share their accounts. I have integrated in our apps but did not work for me.

I think you definitely need a clearly defined social interaction. For instance in my app Movie Clock, you can "Check in with friends" to upcoming movies. Its been ok in getting people using FB and twitter within the app. Here is a graph of the upward trend in people interacting with the app via fb. As you can see there are somedays (for whatever reason) that there are far more shares than others. But what I like to see is the "Feedback per share" meaning their friends are seeing the post, commenting on it, and at least thinking about my product. That is "free" advertising GOLD!

Default tracking sharing

Just came across this thread from last week and thought I might have something useful to any of you that want to be able to measure the impact of your social media strategy in your app.

I have been working on putting together a sharing sdk that is easy to integrate into your app with only a few lines of code and it includes analytics so you can track all the sharing and page-view activities that your users create. Also, has a few other cool analytics features. We are just beta testing it now but if any of you are interested in trying it out in your app let me know and I can see if we have room for a few more testers. Also, I will post back here with more details when the full project is complete if anyone we don't have room for right now wants to check it out.

Shoot me a pm if you want to be added to our beta testers list, only pm if you have an app that you can integrate the sdk in currently. thanks!
