7. Get Into The Game
Social Media is game changing.
traditional institution to the individual or community
Social Media is not just another media.
Social media is not like other forms of traditional media.
Brand messages are personally interpreted, shared and
conversed between friends and people who’ve been
given permission to enter into discussions about common
interests.
Social Media is measurable.
Those who enter the social media domain leave
behind a lot of clues about who they are and how
they think via information found in social bookmarks,
comments, engagement, influence, friends, followers,
downloads, favorites, views, votes and links. From all
of these user actions, you can measure what's
important, what ideas are gaining ground and who, or
what, is having the biggest impact on your, or your
client’s brand.
Social Media is not a closed system.
Influence is flowing in and out of social media circles
because people have a foot in both the online and real
worlds. An integrated approach to communications is
still the name of the game.
Social Media is transparent.
The online community is increasingly demanding greater transparency
and clearly articulated messages from corporations that wish to enter
these social networking sites. In exchange for that increased level of
transparency and communications, corporations can be granted
access to social media networks, which often can contain a trove of
information about the personalities, preferences and points of view of
its members.
Social Media is decentralized and real-time.
These online sources of information operate 24/7, posting
information as soon as it is received – in whatever format it
arrives. There are no deadlines, no space restrictions and no
rules.
