Informing is the ability to build and supply your own personal supply chain—a supply chain of information, knowledge, and entertainment. In- forming is about self-collaboration— becoming your own self-directed and self- empowered researcher, editor, and selector of entertainment. – Thomas Friedman

- #9 Red Herringmagazine had a feature article around 2002 in the early stages of the internet titled, Associations: Road-kill on the information superhighway. That article scared me as it foretold the disintermediation of associations.In 2009, Clay Shirky (author of Here Comes Everybody) spoke at the Digital Now Conference in Orlando, FL where he spoke about how there are no barriers to forming “associations” with all of the social media tools. There is a grate example of that with the Thriveal networks of CPAs started by Jason Blumer in SC. http://www.thriveal.com

- #34 Engaged - A Social Business connects people to expertise. It enable individuals – whether customers, partners or employees – to form networks to generate new sources of innovation, foster creativity, and establish greater reach and exposure to new business opportunities. It establishes a foundational level of trust across these business networks and, thus, a willingness to openly share information. It empowers these networks with the collaborative, gaming and analytical tools needed for members to engage each other and creatively solve business challenges. Transparent - A Social business strives to remove unnecessary boundaries between experts inside the company and experts in the marketplace. It embraces the tools and leadership models that support capturing knowledge and insight from many sources, allowing it to quickly sense changes in customer mood, employee sentiment or process efficiencies. It utilizes analytics and social connections inside and outside the company to solve business problems and capture new business opportunities. Nimble - A Social Business leverages these social networks to speed up business, gaining realtime insight to make quicker and better decisions. It gets information to customers and partners in new ways -- faster. Supported by ubiquitous access on mobile devices and new ways of connecting and working together in the Cloud and on open platforms, a Social Business turns time and location from constraints into advantages. Business is free to occur when and where it delivers the greatest value, allowing the organization to adapt quickly to the changing marketplace.
- #35 Create a digital footprint – Create profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google and Twitter. It is almost as important now to reserve firm and individual names as it was to take ownership of your firm’s unique URL back when the web was in its infancy. Start listening – Use Google Reader or Bloglines to read (and listen) to conversations in the blogosphere. Find and follow people on Twitter whom you find interesting. Consider your firm’s niches, CPA professionals, your clients’ industries as well as media. Some good resources are 1) the Top50 Blogs in Accounting by Biz.edu (http://www.onlinembarankings.net/ blog/2008/08/the-numbers-top-50-accounting-blogs/); 2) Blog search www.blogsearch.google.com; and 3) Twitter search www.search.twitter.com. Make friends – “Power friending” is a term used by social media users when one finds a person of interest and explores his or her connections and networks to find even more thought leaders. This process includes leaving comments on blogs, “retweeting” links and comments and referencing content (and links) when you post to any of your chosen social network platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn). Create and share – Start a blog and share articles, links, and other items of note. It’s important to offer perspective as well as invite conversation (comments and questions). Recognize & reciprocate – One of the most important concepts in social media is to promote yourself (or your firm) by promoting others first. Make sure you are attributing any content or references to the appropriate authors or sources. This is an ethical “must” and powerful way to build an online network. When you make references, it draws others to the source along with you you. Before long you will have a diverse and helpful network if you follow this plan.
