from their fans, in stead of
contributing something
back into the online
ecosystem.

15. Harsh Truth #3
Social media users do
not really need brands on

Our brand is largely shaped by the interactions

IBM Social Media Analysis Points to Lower
Heels, Bucking Economic Trend
Usually women’s heels stay high during a downturn; perhaps not this time
An IBM (NYSE: IBM) computer-
based analysis of billions of
social media posts predicts an
intriguing change on the
horizon in women‟s shoe
fashions, with heel heights–
currently in nosebleed territory
– poised to decline. The IBM
project highlights the
predictive capabilities of social
media analysis as a source of
valuable insight that can help
drive business strategies and
results.
