Value

“Take it seriously. Invest the time.
It can be used trivially (and then
so can a telephone)
It can be incredibly powerful,
incredibly influential.
Traditional media will become
less of a focus. Online Word of
Mouth increasingly important
The tip for CEO's is get to
understand it yourself.
Use it yourself.”

Tips: Social MediaIf you don’t yet know about online
media, get involved.
Theory is very different to taking time
to blog / tweet / use Facebook /
YouTube. Personal use is different to
business too.
Learn what works, what’s appropriate.
Ask for tips from others. Share what
you learn.
Involve people in your area who
have used online media a lot.
Encourage others to use.

Keep on track.
Clear intentions.
Clever metrics.
Experiment & tweak.

Allow the things that matter to reach you.
Turn off the rest.
