People Creating

How They Work - Blogs
30
Mostly text and similar to a
journal but contains written
content, links, reader
comments, and pictures.
Many services (WordPress,
Blogspot, Blogger, Tumblr)
allow users to participate for
free.
Bloggers have many
motivations.
Blog Example – HuffingtonPost.com
31
One site, many blogs.
Most visited blog on the
internet with 1.5 million
visitors per day.
How They Work - Podcasts
32
Audio and video files
typically available through
subscribing to a service like
Apple‘s iTunes.
They typically live on a web
site or blog that allows
comments.
Example: Twit.tv
Podcast Example – Twit.tv
33
Founded by Leo Laporte,
radio/TV host.
Started off with one show,
grew to many.
Various ways to have
remote participants.
Video added later.
How They Work – Video/Photos
34
Users create videos or
take pictures and upload
them to their respective
sites.
No cost to upload. Can
store a limited (but not
restrictive) amount of
media
How They Work - Flickr
35
Flickr started out as an
online album. Now owned
by Yahoo, making it easier
for those members to
participate.
Has some friending
capability.
Now allows short videos.
How They Work - YouTube
36
Open comments on videos
by Google members.
Lots of potential
commenters because of the
huge number of Google
account holders.
How They Work - YouTube
37
Content creators can create
their own channels.
Videos have YouTube ads on
them, and any profits are
shared with the content
creators.
YouTube - Example
38
YouTube - Example

Participation
41
Blogs – One in four online Americans read blogs, the most popular activity on the web.
Podcasts - Has one of the lowest penetrations of social networks with 11% of online Americans listening.
Video – Many more viewers than creators
How They Create Connections
42
Blog authors read and
comment on other blogs.
They create an
interconnecting network
and form the Blogosphere.
New software such as
Disqus allows the same
comment conversation to
appear on multiple blogs.
How They Create Connections

With the right software
the links are created
automatically generating

How They Challenge Existing Players
50
Blogs are unregulated so
anything goes.
No editors.
Fact and opinion are
mixed. Rumors are
reported, and conflicts of
interest are not disclosed.
How They Challenge Existing Players
They provide almost the
same level of quality as
newspapers, radio, and TV
very inexpensively.
51
How They Challenge Existing Players
52
Starting this year, the FTC
required bloggers to
disclose their conflicts of
interest.
How You Can Use Them
53
Listen to what blogs are saying about your company.
Blog search engines like Google Blog Search, Icerocket, and Technorati can help you find out who has the most influence in the subject that interests you.
How You Can Use Them

•One in four Americans
are on a social network.
How They Create Connections
64
By definition they are
social with members
exchanging public (e.g.
Facebook walls) and
private messages (e.g.
Twitter direct messages).
How They Challenge Existing Players
65
They take attention away
from other activities such
as TV.
They enable people to
collaborate who would
have never met before.
How You Can Use Them
66
Create a profile, group, fan
page, etc. and invite your
communities to them.
Some companies have
created their own networks
Salesforce.com is a CRM site
allows its customers to
connect with people in
similar industries or
departments.

Strength of Weak Ties
74
Based on a 1973 paper by
sociologist Mark
Granovetter.
Significant percentage of
people get their jobs as a
result of information
provided by a weak tie or
friends-of-friends.
Strength of Weak Ties
75
150 member is typically
the most that can be
maintained.
The size of the tribe.
Consistent across times
and cultures.
Strength of Weak Ties
76
Now with social networks, you can maintain ―supernets‖ that have more than 150 weak ties, which you can trust more than mass media like TV or newspapers.
The average number of Facebook friends is 130, slightly less than the observed 150.
Strength of Weak Ties
77
There is some evidence
that sharing information
on social media networks:
Makes you more likely to
be liked in social
interactions.
Strength of Weak Ties
78
There is some evidence
that sharing information
on social media networks :
Builds "social capital" - a
sociological measure of
the value of beneficial
relationships. Social
capital is linked to
increased well-being and
self-esteem.
Strength of Weak Ties
79
There is some evidence that sharing information on social media networks :
Increases influence. In a color picking experiment, the people who could see the choices of more participants (in other words, were better connected) persuaded the group to pick their color: even when they had to persuade the vast majority to give up their financial incentive.
Strength of Weak Ties
80
There is some evidence
that sharing information
on social media networks :
Makes one more
attractive: people with
about 300 friends were
rated as the most
appealing, any more than
that and their social
attractiveness began to
drop off.

where contributors discuss
what can be included.
Those who contribute
more have their name in
front of more users.
Contributors can be
accredited experts or
enthusiastic amateurs

8th most popular site on
the web.
Wikipedia has helped kill
the traditional
Encyclopedia and
Microsoft‘s Encarta.

they think is important
about a company not what
a company thinks is
important.
Example: Nike‘s page has a
section on their alleged
human rights abuses.

92
Wikipedia is highly ranked
in search results.
Wikipedia discourages
companies from creating
and maintaining their own
page, but it does allow
them to make factual
corrections.
How You Can Use Them
93
Wikis are open sourced
and free so companies are
creating them as an
alternate support system
for their customers.

Forums are slow motion
conversations.
By responding to each
other, participants get to
know each other and build
new connections even
though they‘ve never met.
How They Create Connections
103
Forums are a success because they let the participants ―show off.‖
Example: Harriett Klauser was Amazon‘s top reviewer. She reads two books a day and has 21,000 reviews. Publishers send her 50 books a week to read.
How They Challenge Existing Players
104
Takes commentary from the hands of ―experts‖ and gives the customers the opportunity to have their say.
A single customer can criticize any one thing that has gone wrong (e.g. there‘s a fly in my soup, the hotel smells funny, the video is boring).

116
How They Work
117
RSS has two elements.
A transmitter that sends a
feed of new items
generated by a site (blog
posts, Flickr photos).
A receiver that displays the
items in an organized
fashion.
How They Work
118
Widgets are dedicated RSS
feeds.
Updated weather, local gas
prices, etc.
Live almost anywhere
from a desktop
application, to a blog
sidebar, to your phone.
Participation
119
Fewer than 1/12th of online Americans say they use an RSS feed.
RSS feeds are built into personalized home pages like Yahoo or in web browser smart bookmarks, and users might not realize they are using RSS.
How They Create Connections
120
RSS makes it easier for
people to follow more
online activity.
Widgets are social because
they spread. Putting a
widget on your web site
allows others to see it,
and they might want to
add it to their sites as well.
