3. Paradigm Shift
• Today there is a massive change in the way we live, communicate, consume
entertainment and do business.
• What has made this paradigm shift possible?
• Give me 1term?
ICT
Information and Communications Technology
It has shifted the power from the hands of the custodian to the aam admi.

4. Definition Of Social Media
Social media includes web-based and mobile based technologies which are
used to turn communication into interactive dialogue among
organizations, communities, and individuals.
Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as-
“A group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and
technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and
exchange of user-generated content”.
Social media is ubiquitously accessible, and enabled by scalable
communication techniques.
Purpose of Social media is to keep it up to date.

5. Classification of Social media
There are six different types of social media:
1) Collaborative projects (e.g., Wikipedia)
2) Blogs and micro-blogs (e.g., Twitter)
3) Content communities (e.g., YouTube)
4) Social networking sites (e.g., Facebook)
5) Virtual game worlds (e.g., World of Warcraft) and
6) Virtual social worlds (e.g. Second Life).

6. Classification of Social media continued.
The honeycomb framework defines how social media services focus on
some or all of seven functional building blocks-
a) Identity
b) Conversations
c) Sharing
d) Presence
e) Relationships
f) Reputation and
g) Groups

7. Differences between Social media and Industrial media are:
• Reach – Industrial media, is a centralized framework for organization, production, and dissemination,
whereas social media are by their very nature more decentralized and distinguished by multiple
points of production and utility.
• Accessibility – Production for industrial media are typically government and/or privately owned;
social media tools are generally available to the public at little or no cost.
• Usability – Industrial media production typically requires specialized skills and training. Conversely,
most social media production does not require specialized skills and training,
• Immediacy – The time lag between communications produced by industrial media can be long (days,
weeks, or even months) compared to social media which can be capable of virtually instantaneous
responses; only the participants determine any delay in response.
• Permanence – Industrial media, once created, cannot be altered, whereas social media can be
altered almost instantaneously by comments or editing.

8. Social Media IT Infrastructure
• In 2009 Facebook had 30,000 servers supporting its operations.
• It stores more than 100 petabytes (100 quadrillion bytes) of photos and videos. They’ve built storage
and serving technologies, such as Haystack, which allow them to efficiently serve and store data. They
serve up 600,000 photos a second.
• The engineering team developed Hip Hop for PHP - a way to transform PHP source code into highly
optimized C++ code. HipHop offers significant performance gains when compared to traditional PHP.
• Apache Hive is their data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop, which provides tools to
enable easy data summarization, adhoc querying and analysis of large datasets.
• Facebook manages more than 25 terabytes of data per day in logging data.
• Facebook spent $860 million, or about $1 per active monthly user, to deliver and distribute its products
last year.
• Facebook is not only the Web's biggest social media site, it is also consistently the fastest. In 2010, its
response time averaged 1 second in the U.S., but had improved to 0.73 seconds by mid-2011,
according to AlertSite. By comparison, LinkedIn, the next fastest, took nearly double the time to load.
Twitter's site was a full 2 seconds slower.

9. Social media in your pocket, courtesy mobile devices
• Globally, Facebook has 425 million monthly active mobile users, and is also working with more than
475 operators to deploy and promote mobile products.
• Facebook had about 38 million members from India, as of December 2011, according to We Are
Social, a social media agency in Singapore; over 40% of these users log in from their phones.
• LinkedIn, the world's-largest professional network, says India is its second-largest market globally;
and 20-33% of its members sign in on their mobiles.
• Twitter has some 14 million users from India and, according to industry estimates, half of them sign
up on the go, on their handsets.
• Even RockeTalk, a startup based in the US, which purely focuses on mobile-based social networking,
claims to have 15 million Indian subscribers.
• Social networking firms are not making this push alone. Several other factors, including a sharp
reduction in handset prices, the improvement and proliferation of mobile networks and, perhaps
most significantly, robust consumer demand are contributing to the frenzied bustle in social media.

10. Current usage & Future of Social Media in India
• Orkut may be dead in the metros, but it thriving in small towns & non-metro cities.
• In terms of Facebook usage, India is the second largest country in the world, just below the United
States. There are 4.57 crore Facebook users in the India, which is equal to 3.90% percent of total
population and 56.54% of total online population.
• India is the 2nd largest user base for Google+ & on Twitter 16 mn Indians are active.
• India has the 2nd largest base of LinkedIn users totaling 1.33 crore users.
• Orkut and ibibo, which have 15.5 million and 5 million users, respectively.
• In one word social media usage in India is more visual. People share images because images do not
need any language proficiency. Text-based or say opinion-based social media participation in India is
still very low.
• The total penetration of the Internet is 10.2% only, which leaves ample space for the Internet to grow
and consecutively social media to spread its wing. When we mix it with the demographic data, we
can safely say that in the years to come, a sharp rise in the social media usage in India can be
expected.

11. Social Media Trends
Companies have found that social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter are great
ways to build their brand image. There are major uses for businesses and social media:
a) To create brand awareness
b) As an online reputation management tool
c) Engagement and Word of Mouth publicity
d) As a lead generation tool to intercept potential prospects
e) Research
f) Complaint redressal and Feedback
g) For recruiting
h) To learn about new technologies and competitors

12. Social Media as a CRM tool
• With the emergence of more connected and networked fans, brands need to go beyond the
ubiquitous card and rely on social media and the mobile phone to retain their die-hard customers
and keep them coming back for more.
• VLCC and branded apparel maker Indus League
• Shoppers’ Stop’s First Citizen initiative- 2.56 mn members, has 2.6 mn fans on Facebook, the 8th
largest, exclusive section on FB page, can view points, update their profile & access an exclusive
First Update magazine, launched a mobile application that not only acts as a virtual loyalty card but
allows them to check their points and new promotions.
• Jet Airways promotes special fares and offers
• Intercontinental Hotels uses social media to offer targeted rates & promotions to members of its
Priority Club customers, to know more about guests, to let a hotel know before a valued guest
arrives & track them for feedback after their stay.
• Starwood Asia Pacific Hotels and Resorts, the hotel chain is using social media to personalize
bookings for guests and react quicker to comments — negative and positive — on sites such as
Tripadvisor.com.
• Hero MotoCorp dislikes the word “loyalty” and instead prefers “relationship”— increasingly
brought about by two-way social media communication, is not just to ensure they buy more bikes.
Instead, wants more family members to buy all Hero products (including bicycles), ensure GoodLife
members upgrade their vehicles more often and bring their two-wheelers in for regular servicing.
