Hinweis der Redaktion
Last year I said I didn’t recommend facebook for explicit business activity. I changed my mindPeople are connecting with companies on facebook pages in a real way. People are bringing in work connections more and more. You can now put people into lists on facebook and customize status updates.
Youtube is now the second largest search enginePeople are using it to find information on business. How many people have used youtube to learn how to do something?How to tie a tie video got 4 million views
I want to explain an important communication difference of twitter
Twitter is much more of a platform for networking and openly communicating
Tweets are public, blogs are public. Information of all kinds is easier to access now. don’t worry about industry secrets, b/c the knowledge is probably already out there. Connections are becoming more and more public. twitter makes connections very public, linkedin allows people to see a lot of other connections. Facebook allows people to see other connections. Big media channels are less important today. There are now a lot of little media channels.
You can hide from this. You don’t have to use any of these tools.
You should at least get here.
The important business implications for this are that you now have a platform
Their blog has 100,000 daily readers37 signals launched a new software product on it’s blog called backpack. Within 24 hours, 10,000 people had signed up, adding over $3 million in annual revenue.
Twitter can make you famous and that isn’t always good
You aren’t the only one that has a platform and that can make things pretty noisy.
Branding has always been important, but it’s even more important now. Because of the noise, you have to really think about your brand to connect with your audience. Don’t rely on “right place, right time” marketing” > All of your competitors are a google search away. Who are you? What do you do? Why does it matter? Is your brand believable? Is your brand worth talking about? Your brand is not what you say it is, it is what your target audience says it is.
People like other people. It is much easier to develop a connection with a person than a company. Hence, celebrity & athletic endorsements. With social media, you are the celebrity. People in your company are the celebrities. Everyone you connect with defines your personal brand in a small way. Everything you say defines your personal brand.
A social graph maps the way we socialize with each other. This is a social graph of how members of congress interact with each other on twitter. The colors represent the part affiliation The author has their colors backwards so the blue are republicans are in blue and the democrats are in red. The lines represent connections too and from each member. This means weather they follow each other on twitter. The social graph is really nothing new and we can make a social graph of your friends, co-workers, peers etc via phone calls or regular conversations. What is new, is that this social graph is becoming more and more public. On both facebook and linkedin if I’m connected to you, I can also see your connections, as a default feature. On twitter, not only can I see who your connections are, I can also see much of your conversations AND communicate directly with you connections. If I’m really sophisticated I can analyze who you communicate with most.

This is called micro celebrity
These don’t have to be things on a celebrity level.
