9. Some Trivia about the Enterprise

Facebook makes money through advertising and virtual
products and its revenue has crossed only one billion.

10. Twitter
Twitter is still the enigma of the social networking
fraternity with its usefulness questioned by a lot of
people. Its simplicity is still its main attraction
along with its immediacy in breaking news about
the latest ”events”.
Research shows that the main reason people
retweet is due to interesting content.
As it approaches its sixth birthday its revenue is
slowly climbing with projections that in 2012 its
income will hit $260 million.

14. Linkedin
LinkedIn started in 2003 as a professional business social network
and as of February 2012, has over 150 million members according
to the official press release from LinkedIn.
2 new members join every second
USA leads membership at more than 57 million, Europe has more
than 34 million members
60% of its members live outside the USA
In 2011 there were 4.2 billion professionally oriented searches on
the LinkedIn platform
LinkedIn now has over 2,116 employees (at the beginning of 2010 it
had only 500)
The fastest growing demographics are students and recent college
graduates
Revenues for 2011 reached $522 million
LinkedIn is the 36th most visited website in the world
PDM-ISACA 14
16. Google+
It is expected that Google’s new social network
Google+ will hit 400 million users by the end of 2012. It
needs to be kept in mind that Google+ is more about
being “core” to Google’s social web strategy as it aims to
embed social signals into its whole web and search
strategy as it aims to continue to be relevant in an
increasingly social and mobile web.
Google makes it mandatory to join Google+ when you
register for a Gmail account which really amounts to it
being a forced membership. This non organic strategy
means that its engagement levels are extremely low at 3
minutes per month compared to Facebook at 405
minutes, in fact they are less than MySpace.
It must be also kept in mind that Google+ is the glue that
connects Google’s other social and web properties such
as YouTube, Android and of course search.

17. Some Google+ Facts and Figures

2 billion views per day
It handles 10% of the internet’s traffic
Average YouTube user spends 900 seconds per
day
44% of YouTube’s users are aged between 12
and 34
Over 829,000 videos are uploaded every day

PDM-ISACA 18
19. Instagram
Instagram on the surface appears very simple. It is an
app for your mobile phone that allows you to take a
photo, apply a filter to make it look awesome and then
you can share it on Twitter, Facebook or to your email
straight from the phone.
The headline about this social network was its
acquisition for $1 billion by Facebook. This was despite
the fact that it hadn’t made a dollar of profit. Despite this
sizable investment it could be a very strategic and savvy
move by Facebook that confirms its crown as the top
photo site in the world. It also reminds me of Google’s
purchase of YouTube for $1.65 billion in 2006 which
proved to be a great decision in hindsight.

21. Some Facts
Founded in March 2010 with the initial name of “Burbn” by Kevin
Systrom and Mike Kreiger with the $500,000 in seed funding.
It was launched in the Apple “app” store in November of 2010. In
February of 2011 they raised an additional $7 million including an
investor called Jack Dorsey of Twitter fame. Zero revenue model.
Instagram reached the milestone of 1 million users in December
2010 (only 9 months after being founded and only 1 month after
going live in the Apple “app” store) with zero marketing costs.
In August 2011 Instagram users had uploaded 150 million photos
10 million users were using the app by September 2011
Version 2.0 released including high resolution photo capability
The release of the Android app version saw 1 million downloads in 1
day!
April 2012, Instagram reaches the new milestone of 30 million users
PDM-ISACA 21
22. Pinterest
It appears that simple ideas are sometimes the best.
Twitter is a minimalist 14o character social network,
Instagram is a simple social sharing photo sharing app
and Pintrest is about pinning images and videos that you
like to an online pin board.
Maybe it is evidence of a cry for simplicity and efficiency
in a time poor society.
Pinterest was established in December 2009 and
launched as a closed beta in March 2010. It is barely 2
years old.
It wasn’t until the beginning of 2011 that it reached
10,000 users. Its breakthrough moment appears to be
the inclusion in Time magazine’s “50 Best Websites of
2011”

average social network size than Chris Brogan’s followers.

27. Is blogging still relevant?
Writing a blog provides an opportunity to establish oneself as
thought leader. On your blog, you can share your expertise and
know-how with your audience.
A blog can be a basis of your social media strategy. A blog provides
you with a flexible platform that can be easily connected to other
channels to drive traffic both in and out of your blog posts. Since
there are less limitations on the size and format of content you can
provide a greater context than you are able to do on Facebook or
Twitter.
Blog content has a longer shelf life. Unlike content on Facebook and
Twitter that only appears for a few minutes or hours, blog posts can
continue to bring in traffic even days, weeks and months after they
are published.
A blog can serve as an alternative to a web site. If you are thinking
of establishing a web presence for your organization, a business
blog may be a more palatable, cheaper alternative than a full blown
website.

28. What experts say
Blogging is absolutely still relevant, and more important
than ever as part of a cohesive content strategy. Social
media sites like Facebook and Instagram are all spokes
that should ideally lead back to your own brand. Blogs
are one of the best ways to create a central hub to which
all your social media spokes lead. Great content is the
backbone of social media, and you need somewhere to
house your content. That most often takes the form of a
blog.

his campaign in the social media.
It helped in Middle East Revolution.
Occupy Wall Street has become a world

Disbelief in advertisements and organizations

33. Law of Few
Few people take up a cause with total passion.
Examples: Anna Hazare and his team, Eqitas in
Chennai, Pragathinagar in Hyderabad, Occupy
Wall Street
The few people approximately have 150
followers, called as Dunbar number.
I have taken takes ideas from the book Tipping
Point
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tipping_Point)
PDM-ISACA 33
34. Stickiness Factor
The digital and mobile environment
provide the needed stickiness.
PDM-ISACA 34
35. Connectors
Connectors are those who have ties in
different realms and act as conduits to
engender connections, relationships and
cross fertilization of ideas.
PDM-ISACA 35
36. Mavens
Mavens are the people who have strong
compulsion to help others to make correct
decisions. Even at their own cost.
PDM-ISACA 36
38. Tipping Point is created by the
presence of these antecedent
factors. It is not created by
Twitter or Facebook. It is not
twitter revolution, it is
revolutions helped by twitter or
any social network site.
PDM-ISACA 38
40. System dynamics view
Price determination in economics is by
intersection of demand and supply.
In reality it is not so. We are not in
continuous adjustment.
We are live in friction. Things do not
change as fast in order to reach
equilibrium.
PDM-ISACA 40
41. Analogy of Sandpile
Large systems are like sand piles.
Few grains added change the local
structure.
After some time added grains cause
avalanche.
The avalanches that we see make the
difference for culture and business with
respect to social networking.
