What kind of social sharing is most valuable to a business? Well, ticket sales start-up Eventbrite measured the additional ticket revenue it generates through various social sites, and reports today that a link shared via Twitter nets the company 43 cents, while LinkedIn brings in 90 cents and its own “e-mail friends” app generates $2.34. Facebook, the most valuable share, generates $2.52.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
