8. Venue’s Today SMP 100
Social Media Power 100 Formula:
Number of Facebook Fans + Number of Tweets + (Number of Facebook Check Ins
+ Number of FourSquare Check Ins x 10%) + (Number of Twitter Followers x
25%) + (Number of Facebook Talking About This x 3.5) = Raw Score
Raw Score is then adjusted by building size and each category gets a subsequent
upward adjustment: Stadiums - 1%; Large Arenas - 2%; Small Arenas - 3%;
Theaters - 4%; Clubs - 5%
Capacity adjusted score is then handicapped for market size. Cities smaller than
Detroit got a .5% boost, cities smaller than Portland, Ore., got a 1% boost and
cities smaller than New Orleans received a 2% boost.
The fully adjusted score is then rounded up to a whole number and divided by
1,000 to create the Power 100 Score.

The basic idea here is to share more non-promotional posts before you go in for a soft or hard sell.
