Concerns About Diplomacy 2.0
 Public diplomacy or propaganda
 Foreign ministry or defense ministry
 Domestic or foreign audiences
 Overt or covert operations
 Same questions in USA, Israel, Russia,
China, Iran, India, Iraq
 Different answers for each socio-political-
ideological context


In Summary


The 4Cs of Social Media
Visible

Creators > Curators > Consumers
The 1:9:90 rule

Content Collective Action > Co-creation >
Conversations

Collaboration Size + Strength + Social Object

Implicit or explicit
Community Privacy + reputation + info filters

Collective Intelligence

Invisible

Easy Difficult

Three Mantras of Social Media
 The future has already arrived. It’s just not
evenly distributed yet.

 Technology determines what is possible
and what isn’t; society chooses what
happens and what doesn’t.

 The tools are transient; the value system is
here to stay.

Social Media + Diplomacy
 Listen/ Understand: Aggregate public
opinion + flag flash points
 Engage/ Energize: Virality + modularity
 Defend: Hacktivism + astroturfing
 Internal: Collaboration + community +
knowledge management
