Conversational media is no good at addressing groups Mass media is no good at conversation (Clay Shirky, How Cellphones Twitter and Facebook can make history)

The Internet

The Internet • Has native support for conversation AND group communication • Becomes the carriage of ALL other medium, mixed • Each time a new consumer enters a new producer joins • The network grows at a square the number of participants

Professional media has become a minority source of information

Watch out for the “Look at me looking at You” (Paul Carr)

Twitter is Microblogging • It is simple • It is mobile, any phone can update by sms • Takes one minute • Feedback comes fast • You can feel your community real time

Anyone should build a community and a brand online • It’s the fastest way to get help • It’s the fastest way to ﬁnd a job • Feeling connected in real time to your online friends feels like thinking as a group

It does not come for free • Share ﬁrst, help others before asking • Bring value, don’t keep just advertising your stuff or talking about yourself • Share on a regular basis • Go comment and participate in other communities • Share on multiple platforms, blogging can be your home, but social software is much faster and easier for most

Go start today

Find your niche and be the best at it
