Naked Conversations “Formality suppresses dialogue; informality encourages it. Formal conversations and presentations leave little room for debate. They suggest that everything is scripted and predetermined. Informal dialogue is open. It invites questions, encourages spontaneity and critical thinking...Informality gets the truth out. It surfaces out-of-the-box ideas -- the ideas that may seem absurd at first hearing but that create breakthroughs.“ -Larry Bossidy, CEO, Honeywell 100

Value of Social Networking to Individuals Excerpts: •Each little update — each individual bit of social information — is insignificant on its own, even supremely mundane. But taken together, over time, the little snippets coalesce into a surprisingly sophisticated portrait of your friends’ and family members’ lives, like thousands of dots making a pointillist painting. •Merely looking at a stranger’s Twitter or Facebook feed isn’t interesting, because it seems like blather. Follow it for a day, though, and it begins to feel like a short story; follow it for a month, and it’s a novel. •For them, participation isn’t optional. If you don’t dive in, other people will define who you are. So you constantly stream your pictures, your thoughts, your relationship status and what you’re doing — right now! — if only to ensure the virtual version of you is accurate, or at least the one you want to present to the world. •“If anything, it’s identity-constraining now,” Tufekci told me. “You can’t play with your identity if your audience is always checking up on you. 130

Value of Social Networks to Organizations • Promote peer to peer communications • Conduct edgework • Improve performance • Educate customers, partners and employees • Shorten time to market • Respond faster to change • Lower COGS 131

Social Networking: Strategic Decisions • Edgework  Tap influencers  Internal vs. External Influencers  Diversity • Public vs. Private  Is the topic of discussion a differentiator?  Could exclusivity help with your edgework?  Will the discussion be forward looking?  Will the discussion involve regulatory matters? 132

Social Networking: Strategic Decisions (cont’d) • Policy Guidelines  Practical and reasonable  Specificity tailored to sophistication of members • Branded vs. Unbranded  Addressable market and potential community size?  Cost, staffing, legal and process  Working through associations or industry consortiums 133

What Makes a Good Community Manager? • Knowledgeable • Positive • Supportive • Tolerant 134
