The Role Of Social Technologies In Search And How It Will Impact Your Organization Social technologies are transforming the way that people use the Web, and with it, the way that companies engage with their customers and employees. Search is certainly being affected by the increasingly social nature of online activities. Impacting the socialization of search are the factoring in of the social graph and social activities into search results. Also, online people increasingly turn to their social networks when seeking information, recognizing that these people are likely to lead them to results. In this keynote, you will gain insights into how social technologies are transforming the way people search for and discover information and how you can prepare your organization and create business advantage with this shift.
I believe that social networks will be like air. I’m not talking about social networking SITES like Facebook or MySpace. I’m talking about the relationships that each one of us has to the people who are important in our lives. I imagine a future where those connections will be anywhere and everywhere when and where you need them. And that they will be essential to our lives, like air. And without it in sufficient supply, we will feel not quite whole. We will look back in 5 years and think, wasn’t it quaint that we had to GO someplace to be social. So I believe that social networks will be like air – everywhere, and essential to your life.
The key is to focus on the relationships and connections that are enabled, not the technologies. Think about the kind of relationship that you want. Do you want it to be short term and transaction, or long-term and intimate? To help you think about this, I have a simple idea.
