Editor's Notes
- Five major differences – first social media is not a commodity.It seems there is now an article of faith – what I call the blessed trinity of media
- Creating necessary scale effects when only dealing with small groups – what it is all about. Could talk for ages about that, but don’t have time. Suffice to say that companies basically doing one of two things – either trying, and failing, to Do viral or talking to small groups of people but about the wrong thing – but think that because they are doing it in Facebook that is OK
- Who here isn’t on Facebook?Pick on someone – describe how they use itKey issues:Who are the people you have most interaction withDo you know them all anyway – do you have much contact with people you meet ‘in’ social mediaAre there people you have contact with in Facebook, that you don’t meet with frequentlyHow many of your Facebook friends have you never metHow do you deal with news feed pollution?What about privacy – do you understand the privacy setting, do you use them?Do you know about EdgeRank? Are you happy for Facebook to do this?What about brands / organisations?What do you think about ‘liking’What sort of contact do you have with brands?What about advertising? Can you remember ever having clicked through to an ad?What are you more likely to respond to – and ad, a like, or a post?
- Why do you “like” brandsDo you mind having their stuff in your news feed?Why is a Facebook page better than a web page?How should a brand use Facebook?How much of your Facebook time is concerned with interaction with brands?Why do you think brands are so obsessed with Facebook?
- What do you feel about the brand FacebookDo you like it as an organisation?Do you trust it
- Where sitThe privacy issue – Facebook share everythingSuppose another Facebook comes along which doesn’t share data?Would you be prepared to pay for Facebook?Would you be prepared to pay for a Facebook which didn’t share your data?(Attachment to the function of social networking rather than the brand of Facebook)
- What an investor is prepared to pay for $1 worth of earnings
