Notes on slide 1

The Web is no longer a static and impersonal Web. It is increasingly dynamic and social, opening up new opportunities for communication, collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Yesterday’s Web was about one-way facing pages that took weeks to appear in search engines. Today’s Web is about instant, social and real-time exchanges.

Twitter represents one of many evolutionary paths of content sharing. Micro-blogging – the instant sharing of brief messages – is infiltrating and upturning the way we interact with each other and how we produce and consume information. These new micro-media present enormous opportunities and challenges for Health Care.

Twitter has of course become the most famous of the micro-blogging services. Whatever the hype, Twitter has demonstrated the disturbing influence micro-sharing has on culture, economics and information.

FriendFeed – recently acquired by Facebook – represents the arrival of the Real-time Web. FriendFeed combines micro-messaging with aggregation to provide a powerful stream of curated information. Although it never received the public attention of Twitter, it nonetheless provides a glimpse of the future of a real-time social Web.

Yammer is an Enterprise collaboration service very similar to Twitter. Unlike Twitter’s public timeline, Yammer provides organizations with a secure platform for sharing and collaborating internally. Unlike Twitter, Yammer provides an array of advanced features which integrate the simplicity of micro-messaging with the flow of work processes.

The Media (Marketing) model of the 20 th Century was based on unilateral Mass Communication - interaction between organization and consumer was expensive. The Media model for the 21 st Century is inverting the old one. The X-axis represents Interaction, while the Y-axis represents bandwidth (or cost to produce). The LUQ (top left quadrant) includes Movies, TV, Books, etc: very expensive to produce with very little interactivity. The LLQ includes Art, Postal Mail, etc: very cheap to produce but again not very interactive. The RUQ includes person-to-person instruction, etc: expensive to produce but highly interactive. Finally, RLQ includes SMS, email and – most extremely – Twitter: practically free and incredibly interactive. We have shifted from LUQ to RLQ – this shift is producing a cultural shock, perhaps as resonate as the Industrial Revolution.

Twitter started in early 2006 – early adopters were enamored with the service, but it took a couple years for Twitter to become mainstream. Most of its growth has taken place in just the first half of 2009.

Twitter may be an easy and inexpensive connector. The Real-time Web is definitely evolving. Nevertheless, organizations that wish to maximize their value to their stakeholders need to invest and cultivate a portfolio of online assets. Twitter is like a stream; but blogs are like a base camp. Don’t confuse tactics with strategies.
