5. …Blogs are like conversations with friends. You share what you feel
and what excites you about certain things. It's almost as good as
being there. The fact that others can Google your topic and read is
like tuning into a television station.
We all want to know what's out there. Who's doing what,
shopping where and what products help others. Blogs are just
another way to share all the great things, not so great things and
just a part of who we are. An outlet if you will. The blogisphere
community is all connect and we make contacts in many ways.
Through posts, through twitter conversations, through smaller nit
community's, live web casts, and through conferences that we met
in person. We make many friends and help each other with lot of
topics. Many of us are Mom bloggers who stay at home and have
no way of making new friends or communicating with others until
we found blogging. Blogging creates friendships and that's what
makes us real and connected.

Asia-Pacific region is the driving force, with CAGR of over 60% and representing
almost half of global shipments by 2014.
Gross transaction value of mobile payments in Asia Pacific to
rise to $316 billion in 2014. According to forecasts, the combined
global market for mobile payments is expected to exceed US$1
trillion by 2014, with over one billion users in that year.
Share with friends. Boxee makes it easy for friends to share their favorite
movies, TV Shows, and songs with each other, on Boxee or on social
networks like Facebook and Twitter.
10. Twitter and Marketing Predictions
• Tweets is “found data” without asking questions
• More meaning than typical search engine query
•
• Large numbers of passive participants in natural settings
• Twitter can predict the stock market (Lisa Grossman, Wired, Oct 19 2010)
• Predict movie success in first few weekends of release
– “…it also raises an interesting new question for advertisers and marketing
executives. Can they change the demand for their film, product or service buy
directly influencing the rate at which people tweet about it? In other words,
can they change the future that tweeters predict?”
Tech Review, http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/25000/

16. Social Media Marketing Practice is not Conventional Marketing
“a many-to-many mediated communications model in which
consumers can interact with the medium, firms can provide
content to the medium and, in the most radical departure from
traditional marketing environments, consumers can provide
commercially oriented content to the medium.”
Hoffman & Novak, 1997
16
17. The Content is the Audience
In speaking about the mass media of the day, McLuhan stated
―the content is the audience.‖
It‘s an amazingly prescient statement. While the mass media most prominent in
McLuhan‘s time incorporated a one-to-many broadcast model, he understood that
ultimately it was still up to each audience member to control their intake of that
media, and to contextualize it in a way that made sense in their own world view.
Facebook and the like simply extend this natural capability that media in general
(and the people who consume media) have.
Social media explicitly take the one-to-many and make it many-to-many. The
content of social environments is the same as the content of a house party, or a
coffee shop. They are about you.In fact, ALL media have ALWAYS been about you
— they are about what you choose to pay attention to how you make sense of it in
your life.
McLuhan saw that half a century ago. Others are still figuring it out.

“For the public, being able to reach someone who listens to
you and treats your ideas and questions respectfully is
another important dimension of accountability. Based on
what we learned in these focus groups, this human
connection is generally more meaningful to people than
accountability measures like performance indicators and
progress on benchmarks. For most people, not being able
to talk to someone is a signal that the institution doesn’t
genuinely care about the public”.

42. Facebook EdgeRank
• Object = status update or post
• Edge = like, comment or interaction with object
• Interesting info more people interactions resulting in higher rank and story in “Top News”
• Posting status updates without conversation does not get high rank and move into “Top News” feed
• EdgeRank is based on sum of three factors:
– affinity or the relationship between the creator and user
– interaction with the object (likes, comments have different levels of user engagement)
– timeliness means new objects have better chance
• 6 Tips to increase EdgeRank
– Publish objects that encourage interaction
– Create a forum
– Make most of photos and videos
– Share links
– Keep it fresh
– Ask users to share

43. The Facebook Newsfeed (Stream)
Being able to quickly parse through what your friends are up to, in line,
and in reverse chronological order is the cleanest and simplest way to
navigate a social net. (The News Feed - A Powerful UI Innovation, Fred Wilson, December 10,2007)
Today we're ready to declare The Newsfeed the dominant internet
metaphor of the day; the cascading waterfall of updates from your friends,
with comments swirling even around those - that model is everywhere
now!
(Having Conquered Flickr & Yahoo, "The Newsfeed" Is Now the Dominant Info-Metaphor of Our Time, Marshall Kirkpatrick,
Read Write Web, October 16, 2008)
A method for displaying a news feed in a social network
environment is described. The method includes generating news
items regarding activities associated with a user of a social network
environment and attaching an informational link associated with at
least one of the activities, to at least one of the news items, as well
as limiting access to the news items to a predetermined set of
viewers and assigning an order to the news items. The method
further may further include displaying the news items in the
assigned order to at least one viewing user of the predetermined
set of viewers and dynamically limiting the number of news items
displayed. (US Patent 20080040673, Zuckerberg et al.) 43
44. What is a Feed Story? (Facebook Guidelines)
• A Feed story describes a single specific action between an actor and an object. Examples:
– "Peter joined the cause Leukemia and Lymphoma Society."
– "Ari posted a song to Serkan's profile."
– "Peter thanked Ronnie for his donation."
• A Feed story contains valuable information that the actor wants to share and others want to
consume.
• A Feed story is well-designed, succinct, and if appropriate, features an attached piece of media
that further describes the action or the object of the action. Examples:
– "Peter joined the cause Leukemia and Lymphoma Society."
– "<Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Logo> <blurb about the society>"
• Design Guidelines
• Feed story body:
– Shows more details about the action or object.
– Does not repeat information in the headline.
– Does not include promotional links or explicit calls to action.
– Example: "<Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Logo> <blurb about the society>"
• Action Links:
– Appear on all stories
– Feature contextually relevant calls to action
– Only one action link with a max of 25 chars can appear in a Feed story
– Cannot contain any formatting characters (like "[", "]", "|")
44
– Example: "Comment - Share - Join Cause"
45. Sharing Stories
What happens when you tell stories? Two magical things: You
build trust with other people in your network, and from there you
build empathy…is when you share the emotions that other people
have and express. It‘s a powerful, deeply primal experience.
ShareThis! Deanna Zandt, Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2010
45
47. Stories and Listening to Brand Attributes
• Your own stories are ego centric
• Stories others tell about you to friends and associates
(future prospects) are powerful
– What vocabulary do others use
– What do others tell about your skills
– What stories do you tell about others
• Brand attributes are what others write and repeat
47
51. Opportunities to Influence
• When you are in a good mood
• When world view no longer makes sense
• When you can take action immediately
• When you feel indebted because of a favor
• Immediately after you have made a mistake
• Immediately after you have denied a request
51
52. Social Psychology
1. Reciprocity: we want to repay, in kind, what another person
has provided us
2. Consistency: desire to be (and to appear) consistent with
what we have already done
3. Social proof: to determine what is correct find out what other
people think is correct
4. Authority: deep-seated sense of duty to authority
5. Likeability: we say yes to someone we like
6. Scarcity: limitation enhances desirability
Robert B. Cialdini, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion (revised; New York: Quill, 1993)
52
53. Social Media Marketing and Principles of Influence
(adapted from the blog of Mischa Coster)
• Following, Connecting or Friends
– Who are you/what can you bring me/ What do others say about you ?
• Begin with Reciprocation (what will you bring ) to build followers
• Liking and similarities
• Reciprocation and Liking => Drives social proof
• How does scarcity work in social media world of free downloads
– Social Media = sharing, giving and receiving
– Scarcity in social media = unique value
• Authority
– Quantity of internet publications (Social proof) vs. Quality (Reciprocity)
– Authority most important and influential on topics of fact
– Google ranks people – higher ranking for important pages and sites
– Expert on matters of fact emphasize authority when presenting
– Matters of taste (film, restaurant or hotel etc.) consensus, number of things
– To begin share valuable information and share authorities in agreement
53
54. Social Media Marketing and Principles of Influence
(adapted from blog of Mischa Coster)
• Critical mass of social proof
– Lower mass than offline media
– Similarity in network of shared of interests and backgrounds
– Not as many dissimilar others as offline
• Commitment and Consistency in Social Media
– Small effort for small favour to retweet, review or ask opinion
– How do we create a request for larger favour later ?
• Reciprocal response (the favour in return to your request) needs to be made actively, publicly and
voluntarily (no one is forcing me to do any of this)
• Ask for action publicly made e.g. comments on website, share on other websites or within network
• Enough effort not to scare but meaningful step
• Facebook like’ button is a very small effort but publicly made (gets shared in your own network)
• Liking a product, band or actor allows marketer to make a bigger request later e.g. visit demo offline
• Like is consistent with preference to allow supplier to send relevant information
• Characterise in terms of larger issues (internal to individual)
• For an environmental cause (after “like” ) ask given importance of cause to individual would they
become an ambassador in the network or geography
• Characterise in terms of larger issue not something small they did
• You call the commitment to be logically consistent with what you have already done that you would
do this larger one, because you are favorable to this cause or to this type of consumer product
54
55. Social Proof (or validation) and Social Media Marketing
Consumer seeks external cues
• High subscriber counts get more subscribers faster
• Lots of blog post comments end up with many more
• Social news with lots of votes and interesting headlines gets votes form others
before being read
• Popular bookmarks get even more popular
• Retweeted content spreads even faster through further retweeting
• Recommended content more favourable than found
• Quality,quality & quality content spreads with social proof through reciprocity
and liking establishing authority with people and Google
• Blogging Content creates bonding with customers
55
56. Social Objects
―Social Networks form around Social Objects**, not the other way around‖.
(** Term attributed to Jyri Engstrom) MacLeod Hugh (2008) GapingVoid.com
56
62. Service-Dominant Logic
• A logic that views service, rather than goods, as the focus of
economic and social exchange i.e., Service is exchanged for service
• Essential Concepts and Components
– Service: the application of competences for the benefit of another entity
• Service (singular) is a process—distinct from “services”— particular types of goods
– Shifts primary focus to “operant resources” (skills and knowledge) from
“operand resources” (static and tangible)
– See value as always co-created (Market With
i.e. Collaborate with Customers & Partners to Create & Sustain Value)
– Sees goods as appliances for service delivery
– Implies all economies are service economies
• All businesses are service businesses
Vargo, S.L. and R.F. Lusch (2004).
―Evolving to a New Dominant Logic for Marketing, Journal of Marketing 68(January): 1-17

63. Purpose Motive
Linux-Apache-Wikipedia
Drive #1: Eat when we’re hungry. Drink when we’re thirsty. Etc.
Drive #2: Respond to rewards and punishments in our environment.
Drive #3: We do things because they’re interesting and because they’re
engaging and because they’re the right things to do and because they
contribute to the world. (!!!)

71. Comparing User Engagement Across Different Ad Types
(Psychster and allrecipes.com, 2010)
Sponsored Content ads, in which individuals viewed a holiday page that was
―brought to you by‖ a leading brand, were the most engaging but produced the
least purchase intent of the 7 ad types tested.
Corporate Profiles on social-networking sites produced greater purchase intent
and more recommendations when users could become a fan and add the logo
to their own profiles than when they could not.
Give and Get Widgets in which individuals could create and customize something
(a car or a dinner menu) and then either send it to a friend (―give‖ widget) or keep it
for themselves (―get‖ widget) were more engaging than traditional banner
advertisements but no more likely to produce an intent to purchase.
Above conclusions held across brands (a leading soup brand and a leading car
brand) and publishers (on Allrecipes.com and on Facebook.com), but like
traditional ads, widgets had increased success if the brand was relevant to
the website (i.e a soup brand on a cooking website).

73. How effective are Groupon Promotions for businesses?
Study by Utpal M. Dholakia 28/9/ 2010
see Harvard Business Review Jan-Feb 2011
• 150 small companies
• Groupon promotions 6/2009 to 8/2010
• Promotion profitable for 66% and unprofitable for 32%
• Employee satisfaction primary driver of the profitability
• 42% would not run a Groupon promotion again
• Social promotional customers # long term relational customers
– Groupon redeemers are “extremely price sensitive
– Bargain hunters frugal by nature
– Barely spending beyond a discounted product's face value for unprofitable
– Transaction focus
– Repeat-purchase rates 15% for unprofitable (for profitable 31%)
• For sustainability design offers aligning with benefits to business

115. Publicity Effectiveness of Blogs versus online Magazines
The results of the current study clearly show that the publicity effectiveness of blogs is higher than that of
online magazines. The use of social media requires marketers to take a step back from traditional campaign
thinking and focus more on relationship building.
The study conclusively shows that the publicity effectiveness is superior in social media as compared to
“traditional” online media.
Public-relations practitioners end up in traditional media by reason of news-generating spectacular
advertising campaigns, press releases, sponsored competitions, and the like. By contrast, for publicity to find
a credible spot on blogs, placement efforts need to begin with genuine relationships with the bloggers.
Finding “fashionable friends” online takes time and effort. The return of those investments, however, could
provide marketers with a new kind of far-reaching effective publicity generated by blog producers who
similarly devote both time and effort to promoting the brands they believe in.

This is transforming our behavior from the active, "seek, search, consume" paradigm to the more passive, stream-styled model of consumption. Jason Shellen, CEO of Thing Labs, points out that the move is from explicit activities on the web (search) to implicit information consumption via the activity streams.

Social Media moving rapidly to be the gateway to web content Facebook has replaced her newspaper as the go-to place for relevant news in Susie’s life. It's not hard to imagine a near future where Facebook (and sites like it) also replace a lot of the ways we use atomized search.For people who are deeply immersed in social media, social networks are already a much heavier influence on personal choices—where to visit, what concert to attend--than traditional advertising. Which means that your organization's website--a brochure out in the wilderness of the Web--is only going to remain relevant and useful as a marketing piece if it is being referenced in the social context of your users' lives. the next generation of Web users may find what they want by using their social network rather than a search algorithm. Social Media changes way we deal with web and in a sec we see mobile.
The ability to disperse and share information through social platforms and do it using real-time tools is shifting the focus of content from “historical” news to real-time events.

The results of the current study clearly show that the publicity effectiveness of blogs is higher than that of online magazines—a symptom of a new logic wherein media, marketing, and consumers are joined in friendships. Consumers follow their “fashionable” blogger friends and, as long as the bloggers genuinely follow brands, their readers form friendships with the brands as well. Blogs, in effect, provide a testimony to this logic that nei- ther media nor marketers can ignore.The use of social media requires marketers to take a step back from traditional campaign thinking and focus more on relationship building. The study conclusively shows that the publicity effectiveness is superior in social media as compared to “traditional” online media. There is a similarity between social-media marketing and WOM adver- tising. In each case, the unbiased nature of the sender—and other perceptions of his or her credibility—play a greater role in social media than in traditional media.This study displayed clearly how the writer–brand relationship and writers’ credibility affected readers’ perceptions of brand publicity on blogs. These find- ings highlight the need for transparency of blogs and other social media. For con- sumers, it is essential that the information is unbiased—originating from “people like me”—rather than a corporate-spon- sored online presence (cf. Allsop et al., 2007).For consumer watchdogs and govern- ment regulators, the unbiased nature of the endorsements has become equally impor- tant. Coincidental with the growth of the social media, many companies began sponsoring social media in exchange for endorsements of their products (Arango, 2009). Various advocacy groups have called for stricter oversight of such mar- keting practices (Joshi, 2009). Noting the growth and importance of social media, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission moved to regulate marketing within that environment: Social media endorsers now are compelled to disclaim any “material connection” with the brands they endorse (Arango).The use of social media requires marketers to take a step back from traditional campaign thinking and focus more on relationship building. Public-relations practitioners end up in traditional media by reason of news-generating spectacular advertising campaigns, press releases, sponsored competitions, and the like. By contrast, for publicity to find a credible spot on blogs, placement efforts need to begin with genuine relationships with the bloggers.Finding “fashionable friends” online takes time and effort. The return of those investments, however, could provide mar- keters with a new kind of far-reaching effective publicity generated by blog pro- ducers who similarly devote both time and effort to promoting the brands they believe in.Colliander and Dahlen (2011), Following the Fashionable Friend :The Power of Social Media Weighing Publicity Effectiveness of Blogs versus online Magazines, Journal of Advertising Research, pp. 313 – 320.

http://analyzewords.com/RT, or retweetTo help share cool ideas via Twitter and to give a shout-out to people you respect, you can repost their messages and give them credit. People call that retweeting (or RT), and it usually looks something like this: “RT @Username: Original message, often with a link.” Retweeting is common, and it’s a form of conversation on Twitter. It’s also a powerful way to spread messages and ideas across Twitter quickly. So when you do it, you’re engaging in a way people recognize and usually like—making it a good way to connect.Hashtag (#)Twitter messages don’t have a field where you can categorize them. So people have created the hashtag—which is just the # symbol followed by a term describing or naming the topic—that you add to a post as a way of saying, “This message is about the same thing as other messages from other people who include the same hashtag.” Then, when somebody searches for that hashtag, they’ll get all of the related messages.For instance, let’s say you post, “Voted sixty times in tonight’s showdown. #AmericanIdol.” Your message would then be part of Twitter search results for “#AmericanIdol,” and if enough people use the same hashtag at once, the term will appear in Twitter’s Trending Topics.Companies often use hashtags as part of a product launch (like #FordFiesta), and conferences and events frequently have hashtags associated with them (like #VRPS).Shortened URLsWith just 140 characters at your disposal, Twitter doesn’t give you much room to include URL links—some of which are longer than 140 characters themselves. If you post a link on Twitter via the website, sometimes we automatically shorten the URL for you. There are also a number of services—URL shorteners—that take regular links and shrink them down to a manageable length for tweets, and some even let you track clicks.

What I like about Tweetdeck is that it allows you to have multiple columns with separate groups and/or searches. I keep a column dedicated to anyone who mentions the word “Brand” in their tweet. You can see what people are talking about in general. You can also connect with other club members, by creating a Tweetdeck group (which shows up in a column) where you can manually add club members.
