Editor's Notes
- What is the set of tools? video, text, photo, audio, search, clients, etc. What does it do? What can we use it for? How do we reach our audience here? How is this different? How can we measure success? How do we govern it? What works?
- How did I get here and why do I let the world call me by the name of a nut?
- So, I’m intimately involved in the space - anticipated these needs in advance because of my depth in Twitter. Saw this train coming long in advance and it’s arriving to the station right on schedule. TOO TANGENTIAL: One year ago last week I re-launched my communications consultancy as the world’s first Twitter for Business agency. Eight days later the market crashed and by the end of Q1 $40,000 in contracts with media companies and ad agencies had fallen off the table. Today Pistachio constitutes a dozen consultants and support staff serving some of the world’s largest companies. $20,000 transactions on Twitter, Twitter for Business, Blue chip clients Origin story -- my credentials, Pistachio’s performance, etc. What convinced me this must exist Kawasaki, J&J, Ford, (IBM, SAP, revenues), HBS

- Mainly, during this aberrant period of mass media. Prior to that, (and to some extent, even during it on local levels,) we can to a very fine understanding of how influence is garnered, bargained, shared
- Nothing new here at all. We just have better tools for sharing and spreading what we think and do.
- What do you KNOW?
- HOW do you know it?
- What do you LIKE? How do you find out? We tell each other, and we’re open to new things when we trust the recommender.
- Credibility is earned. Gradually. By humans.
- Whose advice do you believe? What influences your buying? Where do you get guidance?
- What about markets?
- Whose advice do you believe? What influences your buying? Where do you get guidance?
- Who do you ask when you need a … law, finance, animal care, IT, plumbing, etc. Whose advice do you trust on specific issues? Why?
- If you learn one thing today: listen. Someone’s already talking about you.
- What does Twitter do? -- connects people, connects ideas, fosters relationships, builds community --elements of both but rolled into an extremely convenient, mobile, low-commitment package --It also does a beautiful job of replicating “lost” practices by which humans get to know one another. Sometimes the triviality of the interactions IS the point.
- This is the first human typed tweet ever posted. @Jack’s a minimalist. 18 letters. (112 for retweeting?)
- 2 years to reach 1 billion. 2 years later the “clock stopped” at nearly 30 billion.

- News, direct sales, audience, traffic, relationships, SEO, consumer sentiment, making connections. First it was “just all the techies” then “the social media folks” “the PR people” “the journalists” “the celebrities…” the point is that it is bringing real value to each of these groups in turn.

- These are the specific ways that microsharing can build VALUE for your business. Value can be baked in right from the beginning. Even if you’re “just experimenting” don’t go in blindly. Listen, come up with some ideas and test them. Find ways to do existing business processes that take advantage of the qualities of these new channels.
- [STORIES: Comcast, Dell, TJMaxx, Best Buy]
- Versions of microsharing inside of companies will connect employees to one another in profound new ways, helping people find mentoring, problem-solving, collaboration, cohesiveness, project management… [STORIES: Original purpose of Twitter; ESME]

- Get familiar with the tools and their potential, and then put them into the hands of your employees, as aspects of Twitter can blend into any deep number of business activities
- Excellence: Competency Innovation Value provided Authenticity: Clear and honest about motivations Genuine human voice (where appropriate) Engagement: Listening Responding Providing value
- There are 5 clear “off-platform” benefits of Twitter.
- ADD: Toolkits for PR folks; Journchat; _muck - that twitter website documenting the journalists that are on twitter

- Govern social media pretty much the same way you govern chat, web browsing, smoking breaks, coffee breaks, office gossip, etc. By employee results.
