Advanced filter: (255 character limit) Source:blog|forum|board|community|group|answers\.yahoo\.|twitter|facebook|linkedin|flickr|digg|livejournal|myspace|tumblr|del\.?icio.?us|faves|reddit|squidoo|stumbleupon|technorati|netvibes|newsgator|wikipedia|wordpress|typepad|PRweb|ow\.ly|gumtree|feedburner Medium:^referral$ Output medium:social ($B1 Required ticked) * "ning" was removed as it matches lots of domains ending with xxxning e.g. beginNing.com * If their was more space I would add hootsuit & craiglist. Also webmasterworld|econsultancy are industry specific forums so removed, as generic filter. * "social network" standardised to "social" * feedburner added, but this is only necessary of auto-utm tags are missing. Thanks Phil. @Brian
