How does this render
on a mobile device?
Do I get the info I
want quickly?
26. @abelniak http://www.abelniak.com
‘Mobile’ isn’t
just phone…
it’s tablet, too
People’s patience level with getting the
information they want on a mobile device is
lower than
from a desk-
top/laptop

Tone (sentiment)
Velocity (spread over time, URLs, trackbacks)
Attention (duration on site)
Participation (comments, trackbacks)
Qualitative attributes (comments, what did they
say, what did they mean)
These metrics may change over time
Including the way you measure them
The key is to align the metric to the objective

This is so fundamentally important that I’m
going to say it again: start with listening
Where do your customers + prospects hang
out?
Join the networks if required
Listen to the conversations that are
happening
36. @abelniak http://www.abelniak.com
Why are you bothering to do this? What do
you hope to learn from this?
Where are the conversations happening?
What are they talking about?
What form/s of media are being consumed?
‘Social’ Media – media that permits communication back to the content provider and to other content consumers. So, a (published) letter to the editor of the New York Times in 1950 is social media. Why it’s so popular today is because of the online channels and the fact that the price of PCs has gone down, the number of publishing and syndication platforms has gone up, the price of broadband Internet connectivity has gone down, and the broadband penetration has gone up.‘New’ Media – media reach and platforms on all new channels; some great new forms of media aren’t necessarily social, but leverage ubiquitous and prevalent distribution channels, so they’re worth discussingB2B, B2C, and the difference (and the similarities) – who is the end consumer and user? Who is the purchaser? If they are one in the same, it’s (very typically) a B2C sphere. If they are different (like where I work), then it’s very typically a B2B sphere. These are different because the marketing message may very well be different for B2C and B2B, and the different channels inside a B2B message. These are the same because it fundamentally boils down to forming relationships and listening.Advertising vs. Marketing – By analogy: advertising is a bullhorn; marketing is a telephone.It’s a Modern-day Cocktail Party – You don’t walk into a party you’ve never been to before and start saying “buy my stuff!”. You walk the perimeter, walk through the middle, scan the crowd, listen a bit. You get a drink or a snack, you mingle. You join a conversation circle. You nod your head. You might offer up an opinion on the matter. Maybe someone asks you what you think, and you respond. Soon, you’re warm to the room. You laugh and chat. By the end of the night, you’re starting conversations, and people are joining your circles. *This* is the ‘social’ of ‘social media’.

Why is this a big deal all of the sudden?Change in landscape and consumer media consumptionPC prices went down, broadband penetration went up, anyone can be a blogger these daysForrester Social Technographics dataThis isn’t just conjecture – there is research behind thisPush v. pull; customers telling you what they want versus you giving customers few choices=-=-=-=-=-=-Quick history: Internet gained popularity, marketers saw a new channel, but still used 1.0, one-way communications… think newspapers and blaring TV adsImage source: http://www.socialmediatoday.com/SMC/106502

Broadband is now everywhere; telecommunication prices drop; most everyone has much broader accessibilityNo credentials to become a blogger (unlike journalism); tools to blog become free and ubiquitous (there’s a blogging *template* inside Microsoft Word!)Everyone is a blogger these days…Fundamental shift from a 1.0 tool to a 2.0 tool… this is what it means when people say “Web 2.0”; it permits feedback back to the author and between other consumers of that informationImage source: http://www.socialmediatoday.com/SMC/106502
