  6. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/24/business/media/24cooler.html?ref=technologyThe point of this is that social media and online activities are not necessarily a replacement for traditional media but is and will serve as a complement to broadcast media and other learning and commuincations venues.
  7. Most traditional marketing and advertisements are considered to be broadcasting. The purpose of social media implies that individuals and organizations interact in online environments.  However, many organizations use social media to broadcast their messages and have not used social media tools to listen or interact.  Because there is so much "noise" online, clients or potential clients ignore organizations' bull-horn messages.  Broadcasting example: We can use Twitter to publicize a new blog post.
  8. Influence happens in small social circles. Messages may or may not resonate as they are spread through other circles.http://www.flickr.com/photos/aafromaa/4476152633/

  10. http://www.wordwebonline.com/search.pl?w=engagementEngagement for business builds allegiance and trust which translates into an “emotional bond” or “attachment”. This allegiance, understanding and trust of the business develops over time with during repeated, ongoing positive interactions with your company with customers and employees develop with your business.This bond goes beyond a single moment in time and is instead, defined by the enduring behaviors, interacting and by observing by employees and customers.Engagement -- a state of mind with long-term intentions. Is the step right before that long-term commitment. Your intentions at the point of engagement are really driving toward a long-term relationship with your partner.http://www.clickz.com/3629019
  11. Practices that indicate that knowledge is built and created by many and our organization, nor any individual, is the only expert.http://www.flickr.com/photos/missrogue/78787229/
  12. Fast and responsive communications that indicate we are listening and value the importance of at-the-moment thoughts, problems, discussions, and issues.Flexible and agile processes and reactions that indicate our organization is designed to meet every changing needs of others.Flexibility in terms of customer service and changing processes to meet quickly changing needs.
  13. Real empathy for community members where we develop an understanding of others and their needs.When we think of individuals building relationships, whether it is sales person building and keeping a relationship with a customer or building relationships with company partners, understanding the needs of the customer is imperative to building and maintaining those needs.
  14. The online engagement is not a one time shot at the relationship. It is not a bullhorn experience. Continuous ongoing dialogue and demonstration that indicate the company believed in relationships, not just selling their product.
  15. Immersing ourselves in environments where others are.
  16. KnowledgeIntelligent insights and answersTransparency can demonstrate quality of answers and establish credibility. #3:  Show You Deliver ValueWhile social media holds out the promise of human contact and intelligent response, it also presents the risk of the knucklehead factor.  No-one wants to open themselves up to spam, troll-like responses, and a customer service rep whose only knowledge of the problem stems from the flow chart in front of him.To engage more visitors with your social media efforts, you will need to include cues that indicate you provide value—many more intelligent insights, answers, and offers than selfish promotions and corporate PR-speak.If Best Buy displayed the responses to tweeted questions, this would allow them to demonstrate the quality of their answers and a high signal-to-noise ratio.  Similarly, allowing transparency on Twitter streams, Facebook updates, and so on can allow the wary to see for themselves what kind of signal you’re sending.  This obviously overlaps a bit with the connectivity and instantaneity cues discussed earlier.
  17. Doing everything by yourself is tough for a lot of reasons.But also if we think we can change behavior and mindsets my broadcasting only we are mistaken.
  18. a position of social media strategist is probably the best match for me than any position that I have ever had.The challenge of teaching people new things that they don’t know they need to knowThe fun of teaching people who are eager.Knowing that building a strategy is not something I do by myself or in a vacuum

  21. TarasofskyConsider the level of disengagement, that is, what percentage of people come to your site (remember just one piece of the marketing/communications pie) and end up leaving the site with plans of divorce before they're even fully engaged. With so much talk about online engagement, he said, what's really important is Novo pointed out that if you can understand what causes that, then change your site to help address the issue, you can make a significant impact. It makes sense that you can work really hard offline and ruin it with a poor experience online. Novo agreed that you can't know this simply by looking at behavioral Web analytics data.http://www.clickz.com/3629019

When focusing on engagement, tie in both attitudinal and behavioral measures and be sure you truly focus what drives that level of improved engagement with your business.http://www.clickz.com/3629019

  33. emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1007271In 2010, eMarketer expects 15.5% of all US adult Web users to use the microblogging service via any platform. In April, eMarketer estimated that there would be just 12.1 million US adult Twitter users this year. The upward revision is due to growth in Q2 2009 even stronger than the huge gains seen by Twitter in Q1. More than one-half of all Twitter users (53%) are women, and the majority are young. Among users who disclose their age, 66% are under 25, and another 15% are ages 25 to 29. Most Twitter users are quiet: 85.37% tweet less than once per day. Only about 1.1% of users update their timeline an average of more than 10 times daily. This means a small group of users dominate the Twitter timeline—75% of all Twitter activity comes from just 5% of users. Not surprisingly, the more followers a user has, the more that person tweets. Sysomos reported that the average number of daily updates rises from three to six among users with more than 1,000 followers. But relatively few users are that popular. In fact, almost 94% of Twitter users have fewer than 100 followers. Just 0.68% reach the thousand-follower mark. The situation is very similar in the other direction. The vast majority of users (92.4%) follow fewer than 100 other microbloggers. Less than 1% subscribe to the feeds of at least 1,000 others. Among users who identified themselves as marketers, the numbers were significantly higher: 15% follow more than 2,000 people. http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1007250
