Notes de l'éditeur
- What the heck is social media. I hate the term. It is right up there with web 2.0, but it seems we are stuck with it. Driven by seminal works like Cluetrain Manifesto and the implosion of the .com boom – it connotes quite a bit of things that have shaped the web in recent years. Still in essence, it is human beings communicating on the web.
- Section 1 – Brief History of the Brief History of Social NetworksSocial Networks are about facilitating relationships with technology. Social Networks have existed since the dawn of civilization. Friends, families, and people with similar personal, economic, social, or religious views have banded together to help one another. There is a basic human desire for interaction with other human beings. However, throughout history geography, economics, social status, and other factors severely limited the depth and breadth of human interaction. With the advent of the digital age the personal computer, the internet, and the web browser have converted social networks to global, open, social networking sites. Concepts that started in the 70’s as ARPANET and LISTSERV, and then evolved to sites like Classmates.com, Epinions, and Sixdegrees.com, which paved the way for Friendster, Facebook, Blogger, MySpace, LinkedIn, Ning, Twitter, and countless other sites that facilitate human interaction. These are billion dollar businesses with millions of users constantly talking, listening, learning, and sharing information. This new world of hyper-connectivity, information overload, and infinite channels of communication has huge implications. Thus it is imperative for you to gain an understanding of social media.
- Social media bible defines purposes of social media as being to Communicate, Collaborate, Educate, and EntertainOld forms of media and communication were about shouting. – VOLUME and MASSTelevision, Radio, Print, all based on scarcity of channels and limited access to them.Very much a linear, one way process with limited feedback maybe gathered at the end.This brave new world is about millions of conversations taking place constantly. – DISTANCE & DIALOGUEEase of use / Transparency / Real PeopleEffectivenessLow Cost / No CostFunBasic human need to engage with other human beingsBusiness Interaction – Business to customer, Customer to Customer, Customer to non customer, Citizen to Citizen, Human to HumanDifferent dynamic. Can not control the conversation, but can participate in it. Understand it. Use it to advantage.
- Magic cure for all that ails you. Just slap on a little social media and all those structural, cultural, and organizational problems will disappear!This is a fallacy. This is flawed thinking. This is the thinking of pets.com It is irrational exuberance. Social media is not magic, but it can be magical.
- Ghost, Phantom, Bit of an apparition.Can’t touch touch it. Many don’t believe in it.Can’t really hold it or understand it – afraid of it!Scary!
- Marketing typically champions it, but it is far broader than marketing. Early adopters tend to be in marketingCertainly a way to engage with marketUnless you are integrating throughout organization, not getting real benefit.Human resources, Research & Development, Supply Chain and Vendor ManagementOf course I believe in author Seth Godin’s assertion that “everything a company does is marketing.”
- Communication channel – Radian6 Social Phone is ringing, customers are on the other end. Are you ignoring them? Is your competition?Imagine 100 years ago people debating the use of phones for businessWhat if somebody says something bad – anyone in the world could hearWhat if somebody shares the “secret sauce?” Now imagine 100 years ago your company had the legal ability to listen to all the calls, talk to callers, understand what was being said, and use it to better understand the marketplace. The very same discussions we have now. Not just your employees calling customers, employees calling employees. Customers calling each other.Cultural / organizational issues, not technology issues.
- Fluid, changing shape, form, to match surroundings.Need it to survive. Essential to life. Can also drown you if you don’t understand how to swim.
- Social Media is data, it can be analyzed, incorporated into your infrastructure, and utilized as a powerful analytical tool.
- Not about the tool. Tools are transient. Friendster gives rise to MySpace gives rise to Facebook and LinkedIn, gives rise to Ning. There are ample tools, and they are the easy part of the equation. That is part of web 2.0 – low barriers to entry with regard to cost, complexity and ease of use. Facebook does not have 300 million people on the platform because it is complicated. So where do you start?
- Forrester presented POST model in the book Groundswell, by Josh Bernoff and Charlene Li. Great place to start. People – who do you want to talk to Objectives – what are your goalsStrategy – How will this translate to success Technology – What applications are most appropriateThis process is usually less than linear, as the answers seem to come together fairly quickly once the process gets moving forward. Still, each part of the process is critical to consider.
- Customers, Prospects, Clients, Subsegment of Clients, Employees
- Creators – publish a blog, web site, video, audio – uber user. Critics – Ratings, reviews, comments – forums, rankings and wikisCollectors – Use RSS, Add Tags to Web pages, Vote for content onlineJoiners – Maintain profile on social network, Visit social networksSpectators – Read blogs, watch video, read forums, read ratingsInactivesAdditionally are they internal or external. Do you have an existing relationship or are they strangers
- Objectives for Leveraging Social MediaListening – Just like it sounds. Research. What are people saying? What do they want? What do they need? How are we doing? How about competition?Sloan Kettering Example from Groundswell – Understand what it feels like to be your consumer Mini USA – Brand Loyalty, identifying user motivations, developing campaigns around thatTalking – Classic marketing – participating in conversations – HR Block 52 % increase in brand awareness through social media tax prep initiativesBlendtec – will it blend –Ernst & Young – thousands of fans on Facebook – need 3,500 college grads every year.

- This is the million dollar question How do you measure the ROI on social media. First it is a flawed question. It assumes that social media has finite value, like a direct mail campaign. Rather it typically has cumulative value. It should build over time like an annuity.If you have clearly defined business metrics relative to your distinct competency, measure the changes in these metrics.Sure you can and should measure web stats, friends, followers, comments, traffic and the like.
- Sure you can and should measure web stats, friends, followers, comments, traffic and the like. These are important indicators. Still these need to be integrated into your strategy. What is the dynamic you want to change? How? What will be the outcome?

- Malcolm Gladwell – The tipping point tells the story of Paul Revere and the midnight ride. There was another man riding that night, William Dawes. Revere was connected and people followed his word. Dawes was not connected, and his message was ignored. Paul Revere was a powerful voice. People knew Paul Revere.
- Cialdini wrote the book on influence. Literally. Actually he wrote 2.One concept he discusses is the power of the endorsement. Saying “I’m great” is much less effective than someone else saying “he is great” Power of social proof, reciprocity.This is a huge opportunity that social networks can offer. Real time references.Give them, get themRule of reciprocity, recommend someone else, they are very likely to return the favor.Recommendations for your personal work at jobs. Recommendations for your companyVideo of people using your product in fun waysPoint people to your recommendations
- Building rapport and doing your homework is a huge part of making new friends. Social networking makes it possible for old friends to stay connected with you. This is especially powerful in that it is often the more distant acquaintances that can deliver the most for you in terms of business. Think about it. Those closest to you know, do, and believe much of what you already know to be true. It is by maintaining connection with the periphery that new opportunities and ideas can present themselves. Give to get. There are so many ways that you can use social networking for sales that it is mind boggling. When I worked as an outside sales rep, phone calls to strangers and knocking on doorsWorked, but not very fun and not very efficient.

- Customers engaged in process. Yields new insights, ability to meet needs. Makes them vested in outcome. Create evangelists. Having the world develop your products is an effective way to create innovative new products, and to reach out to new markets.This is a global audience. The barriers to entry are low. Encourage community to innovate with you.Social networks offer you what amounts to a 24 / 7 focus group for your product or serviceYou can ask for suggestions, develop on the fly, reward participation and better connect with your customers
- Millions of people, connected in different ways. There has never been such a need for leaders. It has never been so easy to lead. You can connect with people, real people. Solve their problems.
