1. Presentation	
  
	
  
                    During	
   the	
   course	
   in	
   The	
   Social	
   Web	
   have	
   we	
   worked	
   in	
   groups	
   to	
   make	
   a	
  
strategy	
  for	
  a	
  company	
  to	
  improve	
  their	
  using	
  of	
  social	
  media.	
  	
  
	
  
                    When	
  we	
  first	
  began	
  our	
  assignment	
  thought	
  we	
  that	
  we	
  would	
  like	
  to	
  create	
  a	
  
new	
   product	
   for	
   Turun	
   Sanomat	
   newspaper.	
   Turun	
   Sanomat	
   is	
   the	
   third	
   largest	
  
seven-­‐day	
   newspaper	
   in	
   Finland.	
   After	
   we	
   had	
   contacted	
   them	
   and	
   they	
   didn’t	
   show	
  
interest	
  so	
  decided	
  we	
  do	
  an	
  own	
  English	
  digital	
  newspaper.	
  Our	
  newspaper,	
  Turku	
  
Today	
  concentrates	
  on	
  news	
  from	
  the	
  Turku	
  region	
  but	
  also	
  news	
  from	
  other	
  Finland	
  
and	
  the	
  world.	
  The	
  newspaper	
  concentrates	
  most	
  on	
  exchange	
  students,	
  researchers	
  
and	
  international	
  teachers	
  in	
  Finland	
  and	
  of	
  course	
  everyone	
  who	
  has	
  interests.	
  We	
  
noticed	
   that	
   international	
   exchange	
   students	
   don’t	
   get	
   news	
   from	
   Turku	
   region	
   in	
  
English,	
  and	
  just	
  a	
  few	
  understand	
  Finnish	
  or	
  Swedish.	
  We	
  thought	
  it	
  could	
  be	
  a	
  good	
  
market	
   strategy	
   to	
   publish	
   Turku	
   today	
   because	
   Turku	
   has	
   every	
   year	
   approximately	
  
thousand	
  students	
  who	
  comes	
  from	
  other	
  countries.	
  We	
  wanted	
  to	
  create	
  a	
  digital	
  
webpage	
   where	
   you	
   can	
   share	
   information	
   of	
   Finland,	
   news,	
   happenings,	
   blogs,	
  
weather	
   and	
   events	
   etc.	
   Where	
   do	
   exchange	
   students	
   get	
   their	
   information	
   of	
  
Finland	
   before	
   they	
   come	
   here?	
   They	
   need	
   to	
   find	
   information	
   on	
   the	
   Internet,	
   in	
  
many	
  different	
  web	
  pages.	
  Why	
  not	
  put	
  all	
  information	
  on	
  one	
  webpage?	
  
	
  
                    We	
  would	
  like	
  to	
  co-­‐operate	
  with	
  Universities	
  in	
  Turku	
  if	
  they	
  would	
  have	
  some	
  
interest	
   to	
   add	
   our	
   webpage	
   to	
   their	
   webpage	
   and	
   that	
   way	
   could	
   students	
   find	
  
information	
   about	
   our	
   little	
   country.	
   Every	
   exchange	
   student	
   need	
   to	
   visit	
  
universities	
   homepage,	
   it	
   would	
   be	
   good	
   if	
   our	
   webpage	
   link	
   would	
   be	
   on	
  
Universities	
  homepages,	
  that	
  way	
  could	
  we	
  even	
  reach	
  Finnish	
  speaking	
  readers.	
  We	
  
think	
  that	
  even	
  students	
  who	
  study	
  journalism	
  could	
  take	
  a	
  course	
  form	
  University	
  
where	
  they	
  could	
  practice	
  journalism	
  and	
  write	
  for	
  example	
  articles	
  to	
  Turku	
  Today.	
  
That	
  would	
  be	
  even	
  good	
  for	
  us	
  because	
  the	
  cost	
  would	
  be	
  low.

                    We	
  need	
  to	
  be	
  in	
  the	
  right	
  place,	
  in	
  the	
  right	
  time	
  to	
  right	
  people;	
  it	
  means	
  that	
  
we	
  need	
  to	
  be	
  in	
  the	
  social	
  media.	
  We	
  are	
  going	
  to	
  market	
  our	
  project	
  in	
  2.0	
  tools;	
  
it’s	
   the	
   place	
   where	
   everybody	
   is	
   today.	
   With	
   2.0	
   tools	
   do	
   we	
   mean	
   for	
   example	
  
Facebook	
  and	
  Twitter.	
  Social	
  media	
  is	
  a	
  very	
  good	
  and	
  important	
  marketing	
  way	
  in	
  
today’s	
  business.	
  We	
  think	
  that	
  it’s	
  the	
  fastest	
  and	
  most	
  effect	
  way	
  to	
  get	
  peoples	
  
attention	
  and	
  the	
  information	
  spreads	
  really	
  fast.	
  By	
  using	
  social	
  media	
  can	
  we	
  also	
  
spread	
  our	
  webpage	
  to	
  other	
  countries	
  and	
  that	
  way	
  could	
  even	
  more	
  people	
  learn	
  
about	
   Finland.	
   We	
   need	
   to	
   be	
   careful	
   that	
   we	
   use	
   the	
   social	
   media	
   in	
   right	
   way.	
  
Many	
  companies	
  are	
  in	
  the	
  social	
  media	
  but	
  they	
  don’t	
  know	
  how	
  to	
  use	
  it.	
  	
  
There	
   are	
   differences	
   between	
   social	
   media	
   and	
   mass	
   media.	
   Social	
   media	
   is	
   very	
  
inexpensive	
  and	
  almost	
  everyone	
  can	
  use	
  it.	
  The	
  information	
  spreads	
  very	
  fast.	
  Mass	
  
media,	
  like	
  newspapers	
  are	
  often	
  written	
  by	
  professionals	
  and	
  the	
  costs	
  are	
  higher.	
  
Some	
   people	
   might	
   think	
   that	
   you	
   can	
   trust	
   more	
   on	
   mass	
   media	
   because	
   you	
   often	
  
know	
   who	
   writes	
   for	
   example	
   articles.	
   As	
   we	
   earlier	
   told	
   so	
   anyone	
   can	
   spread	
  
information	
   in	
   social	
   media	
   and	
   the	
   information	
   might	
   be	
   wrong	
   sometimes.	
   Both	
  
social	
   media	
   and	
   mass	
   media	
   can	
   reach	
   a	
   large	
   or	
   small	
   audience	
   by	
   for	
   example	
  
blogs	
  or	
  Television.

2.	
  The	
  Target	
  
	
  
	
                                     An	
   essential	
   step,	
   when	
   a	
   company	
   wants	
   to	
   launch	
   a	
   new	
   product	
   or	
   service	
  
over	
  the	
  market,	
  is	
  to	
  analyze	
  that	
  market.	
  One	
  of	
  the	
  first	
  issues	
  is	
  to	
  identify	
  the	
  
possible	
   consumers,	
   targeting	
   a	
   segment	
   of	
   people	
   and	
   analyzing	
   their	
   needing	
   in	
  
order	
  to	
  find	
  the	
  best	
  possible	
  solution	
  for	
  them.	
  This	
  is	
  important	
  in	
  particular	
  for	
  
online	
  products	
  and	
  services	
  because	
  there	
  is	
  an	
  overload	
  of	
  offers	
  on	
  the	
  web	
  and	
  it	
  
is	
   a	
   very	
   large	
   and	
   competitive	
   market.	
   There	
   are	
   no	
   switching	
   costs	
   for	
   the	
  
consumer,	
  they	
  can	
  move	
  from	
  one	
  product	
  to	
  another	
  just	
  through	
  one	
  click,	
  they	
  
also	
  can	
  get	
  a	
  big	
  amount	
  of	
  information	
  eliminating	
  asymmetries,	
  therefore	
  many	
  
scholars	
  describe	
  the	
  web-­‐market	
  in	
  term	
  of	
  perfect	
  competition.	
  For	
  this	
  reason	
  in	
  
the	
   design	
   phase	
   of	
   our	
   project	
   we	
   tried	
   to	
   analyze	
   our	
   future	
   market	
   and	
   focus	
   our	
  
strategy	
  on	
  a	
  very	
  specific	
  segment	
  of	
  users.	
  
	
  
	
                                     Turku	
   Today	
   is	
   a	
   very	
   tailored	
   product,	
   the	
   target	
   of	
   our	
   product	
   are	
  
international	
   exchange	
   students.	
   As	
   we	
   will	
   show,	
   this	
   is	
   not	
   a	
   very	
   large	
   group	
   of	
  
users,	
  at	
  least	
  in	
  comparison	
  with	
  other	
  Internet	
  information	
  services,	
  but	
  we	
  think	
  
that	
  this	
  is	
  the	
  best	
  target	
  for	
  our	
  product.	
  A	
  more	
  general	
  type	
  of	
  online	
  newspaper	
  
could	
   potentially	
   serve	
   the	
   needing	
   of	
   a	
   larger	
   number	
   of	
   people	
   but	
   it	
   would	
   be	
  
more	
   difficult	
   to	
   reach	
   them	
   and	
   realize	
   a	
   suitable	
   product,	
   in	
   that	
   case	
   our	
  
newspaper	
   would	
   also	
   be	
   in	
   competition	
   with	
   a	
   lot	
   of	
   other	
   bigger	
   sources	
   of	
  
information.	
   We	
   decided	
   to	
   realize	
   a	
   service	
   focused	
   on	
   the	
   needings	
   of	
  
international	
  exchange	
  students	
  also	
  because	
  we	
  have	
  a	
  large	
  knowledge	
  about	
  this	
  
target,	
  as	
  three	
  members	
  of	
  our	
  team	
  are	
  exchange	
  students.

  initial	
  
period.	
   The	
   contents	
   and	
   the	
   tools	
   that	
   we	
   will	
   provide	
   will	
   be	
   based	
   on	
   their	
  
needing	
   but	
   not	
   exclusively	
   for	
   them.	
   International	
   teachers,	
   researchers,	
  
doctorates,	
  postgraduate	
  or	
  other	
  kinds	
  of	
  international	
  students	
  that	
  are	
  not	
  part	
  of	
  
an	
  exchange	
  program	
  can	
  benefit	
  from	
  the	
  service	
  too,	
  indeed	
  they	
  do	
  not	
  differs	
  so	
  
much	
  from	
  exchange	
  student,	
  we	
  can	
  say	
  that	
  exchange	
  student	
  are	
  just	
  a	
  sub-­‐group	
  
of	
  this	
  large	
  segment.	
  The	
  third	
  group	
  of	
  people	
  is	
  the	
  most	
  general	
  and	
  is	
  composed	
  
by	
  students	
  of	
  every	
  kind	
  or	
  people	
  that	
  want	
  to	
  read	
  English	
  news	
  or	
  are	
  interested	
  
in	
  our	
  services	
  even	
  if	
  they	
  are	
  not	
  specifically	
  designed	
  for	
  them.	
  
	
  
	
                                     The	
  following	
  table	
  shows	
  the	
  amount	
  of	
  foreign	
  students	
  in	
  Turku	
  University	
  
in	
  the	
  last	
  years.	
  The	
  biggest	
  parts	
  of	
  them	
  are	
  exchange	
  student	
  (409	
  in	
  2008)	
  and	
  
209	
   of	
   them	
   are	
   from	
   the	
   Erasmus	
   program.	
   We	
   also	
   must	
   take	
   into	
   consideration	
  
that	
   these	
   data	
   are	
   about	
   the	
   entire	
   student	
   registered	
   during	
   the	
   calendar	
   year	
   but	
  
the	
   majority	
   of	
   them	
   study	
   in	
   Turku	
   for	
   less	
   than	
   12	
   months.	
   Therefore	
   they	
   will	
   not	
  
use	
  the	
  service	
  all	
  at	
  the	
  same	
  time.

                                                    As	
  we	
  can	
  see	
  the	
  number	
  of	
  exchange	
  students	
  is	
  increasing1,	
  as	
  these	
  data	
  
are	
   from	
   2008	
   we	
   could	
   expect	
   a	
   bigger	
   number	
   in	
   2010	
   and	
   2011.	
   Furthermore	
  
Turku	
  University	
  is	
  the	
  bigger	
  University	
  of	
  the	
  city	
  but	
  not	
  the	
  only	
  one,	
  there	
  is	
  also	
  
Abo	
   Akademy	
   whose	
   exchange	
   student	
   are	
   more	
   or	
   less	
   one	
   third	
   (181	
   exchange	
  
student	
   and	
   788	
   foreign	
   students	
   in	
   2009)	
   and	
   Turku	
   University	
   of	
   Applied	
   Science	
  
that	
   is	
   quite	
   small	
   (at	
   the	
   moment	
   350	
   foreign	
   degree	
   students).	
   An	
   average	
  
estimate	
  of	
  exchange	
  student	
  during	
  2010	
  should	
  be	
  between	
  750	
  and	
  850.	
  Statistics	
  
by	
   TYS	
   housing	
   office	
   are	
   recently	
   updated	
   and	
   they	
   report	
   that	
   in	
   year	
   foreign	
  
students	
  took	
  2010	
  about	
  1000	
  of	
  their	
  7,300	
  residential	
  places.	
  Concluding	
  we	
  can	
  
say	
  that	
  there	
  is	
  a	
  sufficient	
  number	
  of	
  potential	
  users,	
  even	
  if	
  it	
  is	
  not	
  very	
  big	
  this	
  
should	
  be	
  a	
  very	
  good	
  target	
  for	
  the	
  reasons	
  that	
  we	
  explained

                                       Every	
   residential	
   place	
   of	
   TYS	
   has	
   got	
   an	
   Internet	
   connection;	
   Internet	
   is	
  
usually	
  available	
  in	
  other	
  student	
  flats	
  and	
  in	
  several	
  computer	
  room	
  inside	
  libraries	
  
and	
  universities.	
  We	
  presume	
  that	
  every	
  student	
  has	
  got	
  easy	
  access	
  to	
  the	
  web,	
  in	
  
fact	
   internet	
   is	
   definitely	
   the	
   main	
   channel	
   of	
   communication	
   and	
   information	
   for	
  
exchange	
   students.	
   They	
   operate	
   a	
   very	
   large	
   number	
   of	
   activities	
   online,	
   for	
  
example	
   they	
   can	
   take	
   Internet	
   based	
   courses	
   or	
   manage	
   their	
   exams,	
   course	
   and	
  
study	
  career	
  through	
  instruments	
  like	
  Moodle	
  or	
  Minplan.	
  Internet	
  is	
  also	
  used	
  for	
  
applying	
  for	
  a	
  TYS	
  flat,	
  sign	
  in	
  for	
  trips	
  or	
  activities	
  and	
  booking	
  sauna	
  facilities	
  and	
  a	
  
large	
  number	
  of	
  different	
  tasks.	
  	
  
	
  
	
                                     Internet	
   most	
   important	
   function	
   for	
   exchange	
   student	
   is	
   for	
   sure	
  
communication,	
   through	
   e-­‐mail,	
   communities	
   and	
   social	
   networks.	
   Facebook	
   is	
   the	
  
virtual	
  place	
  where	
  their	
  spend	
  the	
  biggest	
  part	
  of	
  their	
  navigation	
  time.	
  Facebook	
  
features	
  suite	
  very	
  well	
  to	
  student’s	
  needings,	
  it	
  is	
  almost	
  mandatory	
  for	
  exchange	
  
student	
   to	
   be	
   part	
   of	
   the	
   network	
   in

   to	
   communicate	
   through

ESN

  Financial

                                       As	
   part	
   of	
   the	
   market	
   analysis	
   we	
   also	
   tried	
   to	
   make	
   some	
   prevision	
   about	
  
the	
  economic	
  aspect	
  of	
  the	
  product.	
  The	
  initial	
  idea	
  of	
  being	
  a	
  new	
  product	
  of	
  Turku	
  
Sanomat	
  was	
  rejected	
  so	
  we	
  can	
  not	
  get	
  resources	
  from	
  this	
  big	
  newspaper.	
  In	
  any	
  
case	
  we	
  think	
  that	
  Turku	
  Today	
  project	
  will	
  have	
  zero-­‐cost.	
  In	
  fact,	
  following	
  the	
  web	
  
2.0	
  paradigm,	
  it	
  will	
  be	
  based	
  on	
  voluntary	
  work	
  and	
  free	
  sharing	
  of	
  information	
  by	
  
users,	
  we	
  will	
  also	
  employ	
  open	
  source	
  software	
  and	
  social	
  tools	
  that	
  can	
  be	
  found	
  
on	
   the	
   Internet	
   for	
   free.	
   A	
   good	
   opportunity	
   should	
   be	
   to	
   make	
   some	
   agreements	
  
with	
  university	
  and	
  other	
  international	
  infrastructures	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  obtain	
  some	
  help,	
  
for	
  example	
  articles	
  from	
  journalism	
  students.	
  
                                       	
  
	
                                     We	
  will	
  finally	
  want	
  to	
  answer	
  to	
  a	
  typical	
  question:	
  Where	
  is	
  the	
  profit	
  in	
  this	
  
project?	
  Profit	
  is	
  in	
  fact	
  the	
  final	
  objective	
  of	
  almost	
  every	
  company	
  and	
  a	
  key-­‐point	
  
in	
  developing	
  a	
  web	
  strategy.	
  In	
  our	
  case	
  there	
  is	
  actually	
  no	
  profit,	
  some	
  revenues	
  
can	
  come	
  from	
  the	
  advertisements	
  (Google	
  Ads)	
  but	
  they	
  will	
  be	
  a	
  small	
  amount	
  and	
  
can	
  for	
  example	
  repay	
  the	
  cost	
  of	
  the	
  web	
  domain.	
  But	
  as	
  we	
  are	
  a	
  group	
  of	
  student	
  
and	
   not	
   a	
   company	
   our	
   goal	
   is	
   to	
   get	
   participation	
   instead	
   of	
   profit;	
   an	
   active	
  
community	
  that	
  use	
  and	
  sustain	
  the	
  online	
  newspaper	
  should	
  be	
  the	
  best	
  return	
  and	
  
should	
  benefit	
  the	
  whole	
  student	
  life	
  in	
  Turku.	
  
	
  
4.1.	
  Proposal	
  budget	
  
                                       Nowadays,	
   as	
   you	
   can	
   see	
   in	
   the	
   previous	
   point,	
   our	
   project	
   has	
   non-­‐profit	
  
because	
  we	
  are	
  amateur	
  students	
  and	
  we	
  are	
  not	
  interested	
  to	
  get	
  profit.	
  In	
  the	
  case	
  
that	
  our	
  online	
  newspaper	
  would	
  achieve	
  a	
  big	
  success	
  and	
  somebody	
  would	
  like	
  to	
  
get	
  an	
  economic	
  viability	
  here	
  we	
  present	
  a	
  potential	
  budget.	
  As	
  we	
  see,	
  the	
  website	
  
is	
  potentially	
  self-­‐sustaining	
  with	
  this	
  proposal	
  budget	
  you	
  can	
  get	
  more	
  incomes	
  in	
  
the	
  order	
  to	
  empower	
  the	
  project	
  and	
  make	
  it	
  more	
  professional.

  SWOT-­‐analysis	
  
	
  
                                       We	
  decided	
  to	
  do	
  a	
  SWOT-­‐analysis	
  for	
  our	
  project.	
  SWOT-­‐analysis	
  is	
  the	
  way	
  
to	
  evaluate	
  our	
  projects	
  strengths,	
  weaknesses,	
  opportunities	
  and	
  threats.	
  We	
  think	
  
that	
  our	
  projects	
  strengths	
  are	
  that	
  we	
  don’t	
  have	
  any	
  competitors	
  in	
  Turku	
  region	
  in	
  
English,	
  we	
  use	
  social	
  media,	
  which	
  is	
  very	
  cheap	
  to	
  use,	
  and	
  almost	
  everybody	
  can	
  
use	
   it.	
   Our	
   weaknesses	
   are	
   that	
   we	
   are	
   going	
   to	
   have	
   students	
   that	
   work	
   on	
   our	
  
project	
   so	
   their	
   knowledge	
   is	
   not	
   that	
   high	
   and	
   as	
   we	
   use	
   students	
   so	
   we	
   need	
   to	
  
think	
   that	
   do	
   they	
   really	
   have	
   time	
   to	
   work	
   on	
   this	
   project.	
   Opportunities	
   are	
   that	
  
other	
  Universities	
  in	
  Finland	
  would	
  be	
  interested	
  in	
  our	
  product;	
  they	
  maybe	
  want	
  to	
  
create	
   an	
   own	
   webpage	
   to	
   their	
   hometown.	
   Our	
   opportunities	
   are	
   also	
   that	
  
companies	
   find	
   our	
   product	
   interesting	
   and	
   they	
   want	
   to	
   market	
   on	
   our	
   webpage	
   or	
  
they	
  want	
  to	
  co-­‐operate	
  with	
  us.	
  Threats	
  are	
  that	
  we	
  work	
  in	
  Internet.	
  Internet	
  is	
  a	
  
very	
   risk	
   place,	
   many	
   knows	
   how	
   to	
   us	
   it,	
   there	
   could	
   be	
   wrong	
   information.	
   Threats	
  
are	
  also	
  that	
  we	
  get	
  competitors	
  and	
  maybe	
  we	
  don’t	
  get	
  enough	
  readers.

  About	
  the	
  product	
  
	
  
5.1.	
  Product	
  principles:	
  from	
  the	
  mass	
  media	
  to	
  social	
  media	
  
                                       Turku	
  Today	
  wants	
  to	
  integrate	
  applications	
  and	
  medias	
  on-­‐line	
  in	
  the	
  order	
  
to	
  make	
  easier	
  the	
  interaction,	
  collaboration	
  and	
  sharing	
  content.	
  
New	
  tips	
  for	
  a	
  non-­‐organized	
  environment	
  	
  
                   1. Democratization:	
  establish	
  news	
  supports	
  to	
  emitting	
  messages	
  and	
  catching	
  
                                       and	
  communicating	
  with	
  the	
  target	
  audience.	
  
                   2. Audience	
  fragmentation:	
  the	
  public	
  is	
  the	
  same	
  but	
  have	
  more	
  interaction	
  
                                       challenges,	
  more	
  media.	
  More	
  calls	
  to	
  their	
  attention.	
  
                   3. Focus	
  in	
  the	
  conversation:	
  the	
  main	
  point	
  is	
  the	
  interaction	
  between	
  the	
  
                                       people	
  to	
  create	
  new	
  content.	
  
                   4. Micro-­‐actions	
  requirement:	
  we	
  need	
  to	
  focus	
  our	
  campaigns	
  and	
  send	
  the	
  
                                       message	
  to	
  smaller	
  groups	
  in	
  the	
  order	
  to	
  get	
  replies.	
  
                   5. Building	
  presence:	
  	
  our	
  brand	
  must	
  “stay”	
  in	
  the	
  net	
  building	
  presence	
  and	
  
                                       generating	
  reputation.	
  
The	
  new	
  media	
  should	
  listen	
  the	
  people	
  by	
  speaking.	
  
	
  
5.2.	
  Needings	
  of	
  the	
  target	
  
                                       The	
  new	
  product,	
  of	
  course,	
  must	
  have	
  new	
  content	
  that	
  would	
  be	
  attractive	
  
for	
  the	
  recipients	
  –	
  young	
  people	
  speaking	
  and	
  reading	
  in	
  English,	
  especially	
  
exchange	
  students	
  of	
  Turku	
  universities.	
  But	
  of	
  course,	
  it	
  might	
  be	
  attractive	
  also	
  for	
  
everyone	
  who	
  is	
  interested	
  about	
  news	
  and	
  interesting	
  things	
  about	
  Turku	
  life	
  and	
  
wants	
  to	
  practice	
  his/her	
  English.	
  
                                       	
  
                                       The	
  goal	
  is,	
  to	
  convince	
  students	
  to	
  participate	
  on	
  creating	
  of	
  the	
  news	
  and	
  
other	
  content.	
  Concerning	
  content,	
  we	
  suppose	
  that	
  students	
  know	
  what	
  kind	
  of	
  
information	
  they	
  need.	
  	
  
	
  
But	
  here	
  is	
  a	
  short	
  list	
  of	
  possible	
  new	
  products,	
  which	
  may	
  be	
  most	
  important	
  and	
  
most	
  useful:

Local	
  news	
  in	
  English	
  -­‐	
  especially	
  important	
  are	
  those	
  who	
  have	
  an	
  importance	
  for	
  
exchange	
  students	
  -­‐	
  changes	
  in	
  prize	
  of	
  tickets,	
  snow	
  calamity,	
  airlines	
  strike,	
  
increasing	
  alcohol	
  taxes	
  etc.	
  All	
  kinds	
  of	
  news	
  should	
  be	
  produced	
  -­‐	
  not	
  only	
  articles	
  
but	
  also	
  some	
  photo	
  galleries,	
  sounds,	
  videos.	
  
As	
  was	
  already	
  said,	
  students	
  should	
  participate.	
  It	
  would	
  be	
  good	
  if	
  cooperation	
  
with	
  Turku	
  universities	
  might	
  be	
  touched.	
  Then	
  students	
  might	
  choose	
  a	
  course	
  
called	
  like	
  “Creating	
  On-­‐line	
  News”	
  and	
  get	
  some	
  credits	
  for	
  their	
  work.	
  This	
  would	
  
be	
  also	
  good	
  for	
  advertising	
  because	
  young	
  journalists	
  are	
  often	
  proud	
  about	
  their	
  
products	
  and	
  they	
  share	
  their	
  articles	
  or	
  pictures	
  on	
  social	
  networks.	
  
	
  
Events	
  calendar	
  -­‐	
  including	
  culture,	
  sports,	
  fun,	
  parties,	
  trips	
  etc.	
  Students	
  who	
  will	
  
attend	
  those	
  events	
  will	
  take	
  some	
  pictures	
  and	
  write	
  a	
  report	
  about	
  the	
  event,	
  
which	
  will	
  be	
  published	
  on	
  the	
  website.	
  	
  
	
  
Interactive	
  map	
  -­‐	
  exchange	
  students	
  who	
  come	
  to	
  the	
  town	
  don’t	
  know	
  Turku	
  and	
  
its	
  neighborhood.	
  They	
  don’t	
  know	
  where	
  are	
  good	
  and	
  cheap	
  pubs,	
  where	
  is	
  a	
  good	
  
place	
  to	
  be	
  visited	
  and	
  seen,	
  where	
  is	
  good	
  to	
  go	
  shopping	
  or	
  where	
  to	
  
accommodate	
  your	
  friends	
  who	
  come	
  and	
  visit	
  you.	
  All	
  these	
  useful	
  or	
  important	
  
places	
  will	
  be	
  added	
  into	
  the	
  map,	
  people	
  can	
  also	
  add	
  new	
  places	
  and	
  write	
  why	
  
they	
  are	
  important.	
  
	
  
Blogs	
  network-­‐	
  students	
  can	
  share	
  their	
  experience	
  and	
  help	
  to	
  students	
  who	
  would	
  
come	
  next.	
  It	
  is	
  always	
  good	
  to	
  know	
  a	
  real	
  experience	
  about	
  living,	
  food,	
  transport,	
  
weather,	
  Finnish	
  way	
  of	
  life	
  or	
  anything.	
  	
  
	
  
“Buy	
  or	
  sell”	
  -­‐	
  advertisements	
  or	
  online	
  action,	
  for	
  students	
  who	
  will	
  come	
  to	
  Turku	
  
or	
  go	
  home.	
  While	
  staying	
  here,	
  a	
  normal	
  student	
  gets	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  stuff	
  that	
  they	
  can’t	
  
take	
  back	
  home	
  (like	
  bikes,	
  carpets,	
  kitchen	
  tools	
  etc.).	
  So	
  he	
  can	
  place	
  here	
  an	
  
advert	
  and	
  surely will	
  find anyone	
  who	
  will come	
  and	
  would	
  like	
  to	
  have	
  these	
  
things,	
  cheaper than	
  in	
  the	
  normal	
  shop.

“Sharing	
  experiences”:	
  It	
  would	
  be

Here	
  is

  When	
  a

  university

  It	
  also	
  may	
  
be	
  placed	
  on

                                       All	
  the

7.	
  Conclusions	
  
	
  
We	
   are	
   particularly	
   satisfied	
   about	
   the	
   course	
   and	
   the	
   group’s	
   project	
   because	
   we	
  
transform	
   our	
   paper	
   and	
   theoretical	
   project	
   into	
   a	
   real	
   existing	
   web	
   service	
  
(www.turkutoday.info).	
  	
  Also	
  we	
  have	
  had	
  the	
  possibility	
  to	
  use	
  some	
  of	
  the	
  social	
  
tools	
   that	
   we	
   saw	
   in	
   class.	
   The	
   website	
   has	
   been	
   on	
   line	
   for	
   2	
   weeks	
   and	
   we	
   already	
  
got	
  many	
  audience	
  and	
  followers	
  in	
  our	
  social	
  networks.	
  
	
  
One	
  of	
  the	
  most	
  important	
  advantages	
  of	
  our	
  product	
  is	
  that	
  the	
  target	
  that	
  we	
  have	
  
(exchange	
   students	
   in	
   Turku)	
   is	
   quite	
   large	
   but	
   with	
   a	
   specific	
   needings	
   that	
   are	
  
uncovered	
   by	
   the	
   current	
   supply.	
   In	
   fact,	
   there	
   are	
   not	
   competitors	
   in	
   the	
   market.	
  
We	
   are	
   the	
   first	
   on-­‐line	
   based	
   newspaper	
   in	
   English	
   about	
   Turku	
   student	
   life.	
   We	
  
expect	
   big	
   success	
   because	
   Internet	
   is	
   the	
   main	
   information	
   channel	
   for	
   the	
  
exchange	
   students.	
   Also	
   we	
   have	
   a	
   secondary	
   market,	
   uncovered	
   too,	
   Turku	
   citizens	
  
that	
  want	
  to	
  improve	
  English	
  skills.	
  
	
  
About	
   the	
   economic	
   side	
   of	
   our	
   www.turkutoday.info,	
   we	
   are	
   proud	
   because	
   we	
   get	
  
a	
  product	
  based	
  on	
  voluntary	
  work	
  and	
  sharing	
  through	
  open	
  free	
  software	
  and	
  free	
  
tools.	
  	
  In	
  fact	
  that	
  we	
  are	
  only	
  amateur	
  students	
  we	
  are	
  looking	
  for	
  collaboration	
  in	
  
order	
   to	
   provide	
   a	
   better	
   and	
   frequently	
   updated	
   content.	
   We	
   can	
   currently	
   offer	
  
the	
   service	
   with	
   0	
   cost.	
   In	
   the	
   case	
   that	
   somebody	
   wants	
   to	
   make	
   it	
   professional	
   we	
  
think	
  that	
  the	
  webpage	
  will	
  sustain	
  itself	
  with	
  our	
  budget	
  proposal.	
  
	
  
The	
  use	
  of	
  the	
  social	
  web	
  tools	
  is	
  the	
  key	
  of	
  the	
  potential	
  success.	
  We	
  noticed	
  the	
  
lack	
   of	
   social	
   networks	
   use	
   by	
   the	
   traditional	
   online	
   media.	
   Therefore	
   we	
   should	
  
have	
  a	
  competitive	
  advantage.	
  	
  Social	
  web	
  tools	
  allow	
  us	
  to	
  reach	
  visitors	
  from	
  the	
  
target	
  and	
  keep	
  going	
  on	
  the	
  interaction. We	
  are	
  native	
  social	
  digital	
  media	
  and	
  our	
  
priority	
   is	
   the	
   active	
   interaction	
   with	
   our	
   audience.	
   With	
   the	
   cooperation	
   of	
   our	
  
social	
   networks	
   followers	
   we	
   can	
   offer	
   real	
   time	
   information,	
   events,	
  
recommendations	
  and	
  other	
  useful	
  services	
  for	
  students.

  • 3. TurkuToday.info         1. Presentation     During   the   course   in   The   Social   Web   have   we   worked   in   groups   to   make   a   strategy  for  a  company  to  improve  their  using  of  social  media.       When  we  first  began  our  assignment  thought  we  that  we  would  like  to  create  a   new   product   for   Turun   Sanomat   newspaper.   Turun   Sanomat   is   the   third   largest   seven-­‐day   newspaper   in   Finland.   After   we   had   contacted   them   and   they   didn’t   show   interest  so  decided  we  do  an  own  English  digital  newspaper.  Our  newspaper,  Turku   Today  concentrates  on  news  from  the  Turku  region  but  also  news  from  other  Finland   and  the  world.  The  newspaper  concentrates  most  on  exchange  students,  researchers   and  international  teachers  in  Finland  and  of  course  everyone  who  has  interests.  We   noticed   that   international   exchange   students   don’t   get   news   from   Turku   region   in   English,  and  just  a  few  understand  Finnish  or  Swedish.  We  thought  it  could  be  a  good   market   strategy   to   publish   Turku   today   because   Turku   has   every   year   approximately   thousand  students  who  comes  from  other  countries.  We  wanted  to  create  a  digital   webpage   where   you   can   share   information   of   Finland,   news,   happenings,   blogs,   weather   and   events   etc.   Where   do   exchange   students   get   their   information   of   Finland   before   they   come   here?   They   need   to   find   information   on   the   Internet,   in   many  different  web  pages.  Why  not  put  all  information  on  one  webpage?     We  would  like  to  co-­‐operate  with  Universities  in  Turku  if  they  would  have  some   interest   to   add   our   webpage   to   their   webpage   and   that   way   could   students   find   information   about   our   little   country.   Every   exchange   student   need   to   visit   universities   homepage,   it   would   be   good   if   our   webpage   link   would   be   on   Universities  homepages,  that  way  could  we  even  reach  Finnish  speaking  readers.  We   think  that  even  students  who  study  journalism  could  take  a  course  form  University   where  they  could  practice  journalism  and  write  for  example  articles  to  Turku  Today.   That  would  be  even  good  for  us  because  the  cost  would  be  low.   ©  Netzoom  2010                                                                                                                                                                                                         page    3  
  • 4. TurkuToday.info     We  need  to  be  in  the  right  place,  in  the  right  time  to  right  people;  it  means  that   we  need  to  be  in  the  social  media.  We  are  going  to  market  our  project  in  2.0  tools;   it’s   the   place   where   everybody   is   today.   With   2.0   tools   do   we   mean   for   example   Facebook  and  Twitter.  Social  media  is  a  very  good  and  important  marketing  way  in   today’s  business.  We  think  that  it’s  the  fastest  and  most  effect  way  to  get  peoples   attention  and  the  information  spreads  really  fast.  By  using  social  media  can  we  also   spread  our  webpage  to  other  countries  and  that  way  could  even  more  people  learn   about   Finland.   We   need   to   be   careful   that   we   use   the   social   media   in   right   way.   Many  companies  are  in  the  social  media  but  they  don’t  know  how  to  use  it.     There   are   differences   between   social   media   and   mass   media.   Social   media   is   very   inexpensive  and  almost  everyone  can  use  it.  The  information  spreads  very  fast.  Mass   media,  like  newspapers  are  often  written  by  professionals  and  the  costs  are  higher.   Some   people   might   think   that   you   can   trust   more   on   mass   media   because   you   often   know   who   writes   for   example   articles.   As   we   earlier   told   so   anyone   can   spread   information   in   social   media   and   the   information   might   be   wrong   sometimes.   Both   social   media   and   mass   media   can   reach   a   large   or   small   audience   by   for   example   blogs  or  Television.                                 ©  Netzoom  2010                                                                                                                                                                                                         page    4  
  • 5. TurkuToday.info     2.  The  Target       An   essential   step,   when   a   company   wants   to   launch   a   new   product   or   service   over  the  market,  is  to  analyze  that  market.  One  of  the  first  issues  is  to  identify  the   possible   consumers,   targeting   a   segment   of   people   and   analyzing   their   needing   in   order  to  find  the  best  possible  solution  for  them.  This  is  important  in  particular  for   online  products  and  services  because  there  is  an  overload  of  offers  on  the  web  and  it   is   a   very   large   and   competitive   market.   There   are   no   switching   costs   for   the   consumer,  they  can  move  from  one  product  to  another  just  through  one  click,  they   also  can  get  a  big  amount  of  information  eliminating  asymmetries,  therefore  many   scholars  describe  the  web-­‐market  in  term  of  perfect  competition.  For  this  reason  in   the   design   phase   of   our   project   we   tried   to   analyze   our   future   market   and   focus   our   strategy  on  a  very  specific  segment  of  users.       Turku   Today   is   a   very   tailored   product,   the   target   of   our   product   are   international   exchange   students.   As   we   will   show,   this   is   not   a   very   large   group   of   users,  at  least  in  comparison  with  other  Internet  information  services,  but  we  think   that  this  is  the  best  target  for  our  product.  A  more  general  type  of  online  newspaper   could   potentially   serve   the   needing   of   a   larger   number   of   people   but   it   would   be   more   difficult   to   reach   them   and   realize   a   suitable   product,   in   that   case   our   newspaper   would   also   be   in   competition   with   a   lot   of   other   bigger   sources   of   information.   We   decided   to   realize   a   service   focused   on   the   needings   of   international  exchange  students  also  because  we  have  a  large  knowledge  about  this   target,  as  three  members  of  our  team  are  exchange  students.   ©  Netzoom  2010                                                                                                                                                                                                         page    5  
  • 6. TurkuToday.info       As   you   can   see   in   the   picture   above   exchange   students   are   the   primary   target,  they  will  be  the  biggest  part  of  user  of  our  website,  the  more  loyal,  the  ones   who  will  participate  more  and  who  will  be  the  first  to  use  the  website  in  the  initial   period.   The   contents   and   the   tools   that   we   will   provide   will   be   based   on   their   needing   but   not   exclusively   for   them.   International   teachers,   researchers,   doctorates,  postgraduate  or  other  kinds  of  international  students  that  are  not  part  of   an  exchange  program  can  benefit  from  the  service  too,  indeed  they  do  not  differs  so   much  from  exchange  student,  we  can  say  that  exchange  student  are  just  a  sub-­‐group   of  this  large  segment.  The  third  group  of  people  is  the  most  general  and  is  composed   by  students  of  every  kind  or  people  that  want  to  read  English  news  or  are  interested   in  our  services  even  if  they  are  not  specifically  designed  for  them.       The  following  table  shows  the  amount  of  foreign  students  in  Turku  University   in  the  last  years.  The  biggest  parts  of  them  are  exchange  student  (409  in  2008)  and   209   of   them   are   from   the   Erasmus   program.   We   also   must   take   into   consideration   that   these   data   are   about   the   entire   student   registered   during   the   calendar   year   but   the   majority   of   them   study   in   Turku   for   less   than   12   months.   Therefore   they   will   not   use  the  service  all  at  the  same  time.   ©  Netzoom  2010                                                                                                                                                                                                         page    6  
  • 7. TurkuToday.info       As  we  can  see  the  number  of  exchange  students  is  increasing1,  as  these  data   are   from   2008   we   could   expect   a   bigger   number   in   2010   and   2011.   Furthermore   Turku  University  is  the  bigger  University  of  the  city  but  not  the  only  one,  there  is  also   Abo   Akademy   whose   exchange   student   are   more   or   less   one   third   (181   exchange   student   and   788   foreign   students   in   2009)   and   Turku   University   of   Applied   Science   that   is   quite   small   (at   the   moment   350   foreign   degree   students).   An   average   estimate  of  exchange  student  during  2010  should  be  between  750  and  850.  Statistics   by   TYS   housing   office   are   recently   updated   and   they   report   that   in   year   foreign   students  took  2010  about  1000  of  their  7,300  residential  places.  Concluding  we  can   say  that  there  is  a  sufficient  number  of  potential  users,  even  if  it  is  not  very  big  this   should  be  a  very  good  target  for  the  reasons  that  we  explained  before.                                                                                                                                         1  Source:  TUAS,  UTU  and  Abo  Akademy  International  Office.   ©  Netzoom  2010                                                                                                                                                                                                         page    7  
  • 8. TurkuToday.info       3.  The  Channel       Every   residential   place   of   TYS   has   got   an   Internet   connection;   Internet   is   usually  available  in  other  student  flats  and  in  several  computer  room  inside  libraries   and  universities.  We  presume  that  every  student  has  got  easy  access  to  the  web,  in   fact   internet   is   definitely   the   main   channel   of   communication   and   information   for   exchange   students.   They   operate   a   very   large   number   of   activities   online,   for   example   they   can   take   Internet   based   courses   or   manage   their   exams,   course   and   study  career  through  instruments  like  Moodle  or  Minplan.  Internet  is  also  used  for   applying  for  a  TYS  flat,  sign  in  for  trips  or  activities  and  booking  sauna  facilities  and  a   large  number  of  different  tasks.         Internet   most   important   function   for   exchange   student   is   for   sure   communication,   through   e-­‐mail,   communities   and   social   networks.   Facebook   is   the   virtual  place  where  their  spend  the  biggest  part  of  their  navigation  time.  Facebook   features  suite  very  well  to  student’s  needings,  it  is  almost  mandatory  for  exchange   student   to   be   part   of   the   network   in   order   to   communicate   through   message   and   chat  and  be  updated  about  current  events.   ESN   associations   Facebook   accounts   and   fun   pages   could   give   an   idea   of   the   phenomenon:   ●  Pancho  Abo  Akademy  (Abo  Akademy  mascot)  1,200  friends,   ●  ESN  Turku  –  Abo  (Uni  turku,  IAC  and  Abo  together)  990  members,   ●  ESN  Uni  Turku  940  members,   ●  ESN  Abo  Akademy  842  members,   ●  ESN  IAC  340  members       ESN   does   not   represent   all   the   exchange   students   but   their   websites   (www.iac.tuas.fi,   www.esnuniturku.fi,   www.esnabo.eu)   are   a   point   of   references   also  for  who  is  not  on  Erasmus.  They  also  provide  a  weekly  newsletter  that  contains   ©  Netzoom  2010                                                                                                                                                                                                         page    8  
  • 9. TurkuToday.info   a   lot   of   information   about   incoming   events   and   other   news   that   are   usually   given   by   Facebook.     3.1.  Similar  products  and  references     We  tried  to  scan  the  market  in  order  to  see  if  there  is  similar  product  in  Turku   or  in  other  cities  that  could  be  direct  competitors.  The  following  online  newspapers   share  some  features  with  our  product:   • http://www.abounderrattelser.fi  is  the  most  important  online  newspaper  about   Turku  (in  Swedish  language)   • http://www.unikankare.net  is  a  cultural  blog  about  the  city  written  in  Finnish   • http://www.wikicompass.fi/turku   a   wiki-­‐content   based   website   with   useful   information   for   students,   provided   in   English   language   by   the   University   of   Applied  Science  of  Turku   • http://www.ovimagazine.com   is   an   English   online   newspapers   but   its   target   is   not  Turku  but  the  whole  Finland   • http://www.sixdegrees.fi/6d/   a   printed   newspaper   in   English   about   Finland   for   young  people.   Also  we  find  out  some  experiences  that  could  be  useful  to  get  ideas  for  our   product:   • http://www.universando.eu   is   an   Italian   information   website   made   by   students   for  students   • http://btvnoticies.wordpress.com   blog   where   the   Barcelona   TV   public   broadcasting   share   the   experiences   about   Internet   2.0   in   the   media   with   the   audience.   • http://www.catalannewsagency.com/   official   web   of   the   public   Catalan   News   Agency   in   English   with   news   about   the   topics   for   the   international   communication  media  about  Catalonia.  Usage  of  the  social  tools.       As  you  can  see  we  didn't  find  any  product  of  the  same  typology  of  Turku  Today,   these  websites  share  some  characteristics  and  can  give  us  some  hints,  for  example   we  noticed  that  they  are  daily  updated,  but  they  will  not  be  in  competition  with  our   product  that  will  be  unique  in  its  kind.   ©  Netzoom  2010                                                                                                                                                                                                         page    9  
  • 10. TurkuToday.info     4.  Financial  statements       As   part   of   the   market   analysis   we   also   tried   to   make   some   prevision   about   the  economic  aspect  of  the  product.  The  initial  idea  of  being  a  new  product  of  Turku   Sanomat  was  rejected  so  we  can  not  get  resources  from  this  big  newspaper.  In  any   case  we  think  that  Turku  Today  project  will  have  zero-­‐cost.  In  fact,  following  the  web   2.0  paradigm,  it  will  be  based  on  voluntary  work  and  free  sharing  of  information  by   users,  we  will  also  employ  open  source  software  and  social  tools  that  can  be  found   on   the   Internet   for   free.   A   good   opportunity   should   be   to   make   some   agreements   with  university  and  other  international  infrastructures  in  order  to  obtain  some  help,   for  example  articles  from  journalism  students.       We  will  finally  want  to  answer  to  a  typical  question:  Where  is  the  profit  in  this   project?  Profit  is  in  fact  the  final  objective  of  almost  every  company  and  a  key-­‐point   in  developing  a  web  strategy.  In  our  case  there  is  actually  no  profit,  some  revenues   can  come  from  the  advertisements  (Google  Ads)  but  they  will  be  a  small  amount  and   can  for  example  repay  the  cost  of  the  web  domain.  But  as  we  are  a  group  of  student   and   not   a   company   our   goal   is   to   get   participation   instead   of   profit;   an   active   community  that  use  and  sustain  the  online  newspaper  should  be  the  best  return  and   should  benefit  the  whole  student  life  in  Turku.     4.1.  Proposal  budget   Nowadays,   as   you   can   see   in   the   previous   point,   our   project   has   non-­‐profit   because  we  are  amateur  students  and  we  are  not  interested  to  get  profit.  In  the  case   that  our  online  newspaper  would  achieve  a  big  success  and  somebody  would  like  to   get  an  economic  viability  here  we  present  a  potential  budget.  As  we  see,  the  website   is  potentially  self-­‐sustaining  with  this  proposal  budget  you  can  get  more  incomes  in   the  order  to  empower  the  project  and  make  it  more  professional.           ©  Netzoom  2010                                                                                                                                                                                                         page    10

Democratization:  establish  news  supports  to  emitting  messages  and  catching   and  communicating  with  the  target  audience.   2. Audience  fragmentation:  the  public  is  the  same  but  have  more  interaction   challenges,  more  media.  More  calls  to  their  attention.   3. Focus  in  the  conversation:  the  main  point  is  the  interaction  between  the   people  to  create  new  content.   4. Micro-­‐actions  requirement:  we  need  to  focus  our  campaigns  and  send  the   message  to  smaller  groups  in  the  order  to  get  replies.   5. Building  presence:    our  brand  must  “stay”  in  the  net  building  presence  and   generating  reputation.   The  new  media  should  listen  the  people  by  speaking.     5.2.  Needings  of  the  target   The  new  product,  of  course,  must  have  new  content  that  would  be  attractive   for  the  recipients  –  young  people  speaking  and  reading  in  English,  especially   exchange  students  of  Turku  universities.  But  of  course,  it  might  be  attractive  also  for   everyone  who  is  interested  about  news  and  interesting  things  about  Turku  life  and   wants  to  practice  his/her  English.     The  goal  is,  to  convince  students  to  participate  on  creating  of  the  news  and   other  content.  Concerning  content,  we  suppose  that  students  know  what  kind  of   information  they  need.       But  here  is  a  short  list  of  possible  new  products,  which  may  be  most  important  and   most  useful:     ©  Netzoom  2010                                                                                                                                                                                                         page    13
