You may know SocialMedia Networks as the company behind many of Facebook's ridiculously successful applications (MyHeritage, Pirates, etc), but you may not fully understand what exactly it is that they do. SocialMedia Networks offers a three-pronged approach to successfully market and profit from your social networking application. SocialMedia Networks offers to developers and advertisers of social media applications advertising, monetization and analytical tools on newly emerging social platforms. Each tool falls into one of three categories: Manage, Market, and Monetization. The list of these services wouldn't even begin to fit in this review, but some of the more notable offerings include graphs of your application's popularity, a cost-per-new-user calculator, and of course access to all data pulled by Appsaholic. Though SocialMedia Networks is best known for its work with Facebook apps, it also supports MySpace applications.

In their own words

"SocialMedia Networks is the leading provider of social platform services. It fuses together three core features â€“ management, marketing, and monetization â€“ into a comprehensive package that advertisers and developers can use to grow awareness, and grow their applications on social platforms".

Why it might be a killer

SocialMedia Networks has clearly already proven its effectiveness in the marketing and management of Facebook applications. They timed their launch (not coincidently, of course) perfectly with the May 24th announcement that Facebook would be allowing developers to capitalize upon the site's popularity. SocialMedia Networks then promptly debuted several apps, including Appsaholic, a necessary and important tool for keeping track of the usage and adoption of Facebook apps. Not only does SocialMedia provide developers with a means of managing and marketing their applications, it also lets them have access to valuable application economy information to ensure that their app stays on top and that the developers are profiting proportionally.

Some questions

It's hard to critique these guys, so instead it will suffice to simply ask what the next step is for SocialMedia Networks. How to the plan to improve and expand what is already such a successful, comprehensive service?
