- So just what IS social media? According to the Social Media Tracker, it’s Online applications, platforms and media which aim to facilitate interaction, collaboration and sharing of content. In English? All those things that we like to share with friends, family and colleagues, online. That can include everything from blogs (Myspace, Facebook, Blogger, Live Journal) to Twitter to photo sharing, podcasts and online communities.
- Why? First, there are a lot of people out there blogging about their daily lives. And three times as many who read them. What I find even more intriguing is the nature of these people who blog. They’re the picture of the ideal consumer we’re always trying to get to respond to us in traditional research forums…and usually can’t. They’re more educated than the average, have higher incomes, are more racially diverse, and are certainly knowledgeable about the topics they choose to write about. In short…they’re often the thought leaders we’d really like to hear from. And they’re talking spontaneously to one another about the topics they care passionately about.
- So let’s dive in to the topic. What did we learn from these bloggers about attitudes and behaviors around environmental sustainability?
- So we know a lot of people are talking. What are they talking about? And has it shifted over time?
- Online conversations around environmental sustainability are as broad as the topic itself. Blog posts range from debates about the validity of climate change, to discussions of specific issues of waste or emissions, to the presentation of potential solutions such as renewable energy adoption, hybrid vehicles or more responsible levels of consumption. In early 2007, more than half of the conversations were debating the issue…was global warming real? What news sources did you get your information from? Is it just media hype? By 2008, that conversation had shifted dramatically. Now, 6 out of 10 conversations were debating SOLUTIONS.
- In fact, talking about solutions was the biggest percentage of discussions. Remember, people can talk about multiple ideas in a single post, so you’ll get these percentages that add up to far more than 100%. Notice that more than half of all posts also talked about the impacted resources: oil and gas, water, air quality. Consumers are quite focused on the changing environment and resource drain. Similarly, various issues such as climate change or the risk of natural disasters, disease or famine show up in close to 1 out of 2 posts. The associated causes such as increased emissions and high levels of waste and pollution are only mentioned in 36% of online posts. This finding indicates that many consumers have internalized these aspects of the sustainability topic and have begun to focus on solutions. Additionally, it reveals that the immediate and personal impact of rising energy costs is for many the primary driver of interest. Note that as of today, only 1 out of 10 conversations mention specific brands in context of their sustainability discussions.
- Indeed, one of out 10 conversations seems fairly light. In the second half of 2007, just 9% of all sustainability conversations mentioned a brand by name.
- In the next six months, that had grown to 11%. Still small. But growing.
- So let’s quickly turn to who is doing all this talking about sustainabilty in the blogosphere.
