The term
Social Media is really kind of an
  artifact, a mere construct.




      Better:
Networked Media.
Real-Time Media.
User-driven Media.
 Engaged Media.
We are very much at the beginning...
Our ‘Networked World’ is still very nascent

                                  ... and often rather confusing!
Why is this Social Media Stuff important?
Social
Media will
soon beat
  eMail,
Video may
 well beat
  Search
Involve your ‘tribes’ & followers
From a long time ago....
Money
     Conversion
     Attention
Merit, Quality & Uniqueness
‘Broadcast’ Media
Networked Media
“Tribal Relationships”




150 tribe members + 1000 real fans +   ++   +
Online and Offline are converging
“Trust
is the most important currency
online, so to build it we adhere
   to three principles of open
       information: value,
 transparency, and control”

Social Media is
“Customer Relationship Management”
It all starts with this:
The Consequences of ‘Closed’...?!
What does the Future
hold - and how will we
      adapt to it?
                  Source: seekingalpha.com
“We can enforce a different future than
that which our customers want”
“We can ignore our users’ emerging
behaviors and mold them as we see fit”
“We need to watch out for what’s good
for us, first and foremost”
“Our gain needs to be 100%
ours - it’s a win-lose world!”
“More control = more money”
A big Challenge: Open
Internet vs Closed Minds?
