Hinweis der Redaktion
- Good evening ladies and gentlemen – thank you for the introduction and thank you very much for the opportunity to speak to you this evening.I hope that I am able to pass on some information that is of use to you.Before I get into the presentation proper, I’d like to show you a short introductory video and I hope that it will provide you with some context for what we’re going to talk about this evening.Sit back and relax – the video goes for about five minutes.
- I’m sure you’ll agree that some of the statistics in that presentation are truly frightening. It ain’t going to stop – it’s only going to get quicker and quicker – the change has been so rampant, in fact, that some of the statistics in the presentation are now out of date and it’s only 2 years oldMySpace is no longer the social networking tool of choice – Facebook has taken that mantle with 500m users (3rd largest country in the world)There are clear implications for organisations and for businesses from all this change.Those organisations that keep abreast of the changes and adopt new technologies that are appropriate for their business, will give themselves the very best chance to thrive into the future.On the flip side, those organisations that choose to ignore these changes and go about their business in the same way that they have for decades – well, these businesses may not be around in 5-10 years time. It’s as simple as that.So today we’re going to talk about social media, which featured prominently in the video we have just seen, and we’re going to talk about how your organisation can leverage this new phenomenon to stay ahead of the game.
- Stand up - I want to do a quick straw poll Sit down if you do not have a Facebook account Sit down if you have less than 50 friends Sit down if you have less than 100 friends Sit down if you have less than 200 friends Stand up Sit down if you do not have a Twitter account Sit down if you haven’t tweeted in the last 72 hours Sit down if you haven’t tweeted in the last 24 hours Sit down if you haven’t tweeted in the last six hours Sit down if you’re not tweeting as I am speaking right now
- This is not a commentary on the little exercise that we have just done – I am not judging anybody here, but in my book, people in business typically fall into one of three categories in relation to social mediaAvoiders/Sceptics – these people are either oblivious to social media or pooh pooh it at every opportunity. They are usually very close-minded people who are not willing to think outside the square or try new things. They are averse to change and they think that if it ain’t broke, why fix it. Exponents – these people have delved into the world of social media and are experimenting and using social media to good effect. They don’t let social media rule their life, but they recognise that people are consuming information differently in this day and age, and that social media is worth a go. They are contributing positively to the social media community. Wankers – these people think social media is it and a bit. They spend most of their day, and night, on social media websites. They believe there’s no need to interact face-to-face with people anymore, because everything can be achieved electronically. These people usually brag about the numbers of friends / followers they have on Facebook and Twitter (even though they’ve never met most of them). Despite their rampant online activity, they never seem to make any money.
- A liberal progressive news website that covers politics, religion and world affairs. Over 300 individual bloggers
- Most appropriate for individuals and musicians, but there are a number of brands on there – Starbucks, Coca Cola
- Some of the brands that feature here include Bananas in Pyjamas, Billabong, Pringles, Hillsong and Bubble O’BillNotice that Stephanie Rice rounds out the top 20 – with the events of the past week, she’s probably lost a few friends.
