EXECUTIVE SUMMARY IWOM WATCH Microblog Special Edition The microblog is a specialized social media platform that constrains users within a concise, 140 character limit. Originating with the launch of Twitter back in 2006, which was itself an evolution of RSS aggregator Odeo, the microblog medium was emerging in China as early as 2007 as a series of Twitter clones. In August of 2009, Chinese Internet giant Sina.com introduced SINA Weibo and set the stage for a new evolution of the microblog in China. From BBS, SNS and conventional blogging, to the global embracing of the microblog, Web2.0 applications have provided a steady stream of new ideas and communication concepts to engage and connect people, both online and offline. Some form of self-published social media is now common practice and the increasing popularity of microblogging looks set to usher in a new era of expression and development self-made, user generated digital media. Within 140 characters, users can share heart felt emotion or the hottest news, their private lives or work experience. It’s also a good platform for brands to communicate product, industry and corporate operational information. The microblog, at once a seemingly fractured yet innately cohesive information source, is fast becoming an important platform for conversation between brands and users. In this special issue of IWOM Watch, we’ll examine Chinese microblog development, history and brand application, based on solid data and detailed industry analysis, culminating in an 18 tip guide on best practice when managing your branded microblog account.IWOM WATCH ISSUE Special

As Kai-Fu Lee wrote in his book <Weibo Changed Everything – 微博改变一切>, SINA Weibo has changed the way people communicate with each other online. China Eastern Airlines’ participation showed that as one of the leading air travel company in China, they are actively participating in social media. Crisis management in the new social media age has pushed brands to face real problems in real-time. For airlines, customers late for boarding, flights delayed and other cause for complaint can be found in platforms like SINA Weibo. Reacting to these complaints is a challenge considering the wide coverage and real time processing qualities of social media. For a brand to establish an official Weibo account, they must appreciate that there is now a new channel of communication that allows customers to voice their problems as soon as they arise and to expect a response just as quickly.IWOM WATCH ISSUE Special 15
