2. Why social media ?
We use social media for timepass, keeping in
touch, increasing visibility, branding, promotion
and monetisation.

3. Coordination is helpful
When your objective is visibility, branding and/or
promotion, coordinated usage of media
necessary
We shall primarily be focusing on blogs

4. Blogs as diaries are becoming less prominent

5. A sufficiently strong focus is important to attract a
good readership for a blog

6. Twitter will generally beat blogs to fast moving /
briefly expressible news / events / information

7. The role of a blog in establishing new
relationships is limited, but it can play a
substantial role in providing the credibility for
such relationships

8. Twitter, Facebook et. al. have taken away the
newspaper / phone call content away from
blogs. Blogs retain the letter, magazine flavour

9. Blogs for fast moving news
Provide your detailed perspective or insight into
the topic. Some original contribution is essential
You will need to update the post regularly.
Keep the placeholder ready for all the updates.
Needs rapid push to blog aggregators
Comment on related topics on other topical
posts with a link back to drive traffic quickly
Timing is of essence.

10. Twitter can't dance saala*
Reference to Context : Place an issue in context
Collation : Present multiple pieces of information
Analysis : Present insights or conclusions
Information : Press Releases
Do it yourself : Detailed how-tos
Reference : Comprehensive coverage of a topic
Reviews : Look back, paraphrase and represent
Insightful Defended Opinions.

11. Microblogs and Social networks have taken on
some earlier functions of the blog. They
however promote and support not threaten
blogs

12. Blogs, Microblogs, and Social Networks have a
symbiotic relationship and feed off each other
and support each other in terms of both eyeballs
and discovering relationships
Feeds still define the enduring relationships for
blogs
(c) 2009 Dhananjay Nene, Pune, India
13. Symbiotic relationships
Use microblogs and social networks to engage
with people and promote blog
It makes sense to cross thread all three so long
as you don't litter.
Right messages to wrong audiences are SPAM
Encourage engagement at a lower level

14. Beyond the top 3
There are more avenues to build a network and
support your blog than microblogs and social
networks.
Tumble logs eg. Tumblr
− Provide brief commentary on articles you read. Link back
to your posts only if relevant
Social bookmarking eg. Delicious
− Find other people who've bookmarked your posts, or with
whom you share bookmarks
Lifestreaming eg. friendfeed

15. Weave without littering, your blog posts into
microblogs and your social network content
along with other social media such as tumble
logs, bookmarks and lifestreams
