Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method, in a computer network, for generating social index scores associated with key terms within web-based social network sites. Generally, the method comprises the steps of receiving an input of the key terms from a user, generating search queries from the key terms, providing the generated search queries to the web-based social network sites, capturing search results received from the web-based social network sites in response to the provided search queries, generating, from the captured search results, the social index scores using a processing algorithm, storing the generated social index scores in at least one database, and, providing at least one representation of the generated social index scores to the user in one or more of numerical, visual, and printed form.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to aspects of an Internet-accessible brand management system (BMS) that allows marketers (e.g., corporations, organizations, etc.) to efficiently organize, create, maintain, and display content associated with many brand categories or brand items within a brand category on a single social media system (SMS) page/account, or alternatively, across many SMS pages or accounts with one or more common content themes. Administrators/developers of individual marketing pages or accounts (global and local) may update their pages through the BMS using standard configurable templates. The system may integrate content from one or more developers to create content for varying pages (for example, by incorporating some global content into local pages according to configurable rules, or vice versa).

Abstract: Systems and methods for creation, management and delivery of targeted marketing campaigns to a consumer based on a consumer's social check-in activity as identified by a consumer on one or more location based social networks. In one embodiment, a campaign management system receives information relating to a consumer's social check-in activity from various (heterogeneous) location based social networks in a wide variety of formats, and further normalizes such disparate information received into a standardized format. According to an aspect, the system processes the normalized information in conjunction with pre-stored marketing campaigns created by marketers for purposes of identifying consumers who satisfy one or more conditions specific to the pre-stored marketing campaigns. Campaign-related information corresponding to the pre-stored marketing campaigns generally comprise various promotional offers, discounts, coupons, etc.
