Social Media Food for Thought
The good, the bad and the ugly

We live again in a relationship economy
Transactions are the by-products of healthy relationships. The global economy is shifting from a mass media, consumer mass-marketing model to one that is far more emergent and decentralized. The involuntary loyalty of "sticky" services is falling victim to the far preferable voluntary loyalty won through responsiveness, quality, excellent service, reliability and trustworthiness.
Sometimes, transactions don't matter. -Jerry Michalski
The Web Is
• Personal - It is something you: Read, Write, Share, Browse, Change, Create
• It is both Meaningful and Valuable
• And...Searchable
• Persistence - Makes the experience meaningful
• Awareness - keep the lines of communication open
• Persistence + Awareness = A relationship
The medium is the relationship complex, light and diverse
Your are connecting everywhere, anytime
Think of it as relationship bricolage
“Bricolage is what tinkers do -collecting odd bits of stuff they think may be potentially useful, then using whatever bits seem to work in the context of some later repair job. Simple. And yet profound. Because the bits the bricoleur ends up using were not designed for the use they end up being put to”.

How do you tune your weaving?
• Be real
• Jump in
• Get transparent
• Find your communities - online & offline
• Be a catalyst
• Know when to “let it go”
• Be human - multi dimensional
• Create opportunities to socialize
• The love you give is equal to the love you get
• Listen. Rinse. Repeat
Before case studies...a friendly reminder
• Be human - use the letter “I” and the word “We”
• Be in it for the long haul - sustainability
• Too much noise -- there are no big hits
• Cultivate your inner geek
• Think like a Digital Ambassador or Customer Advocate or Media Mogul
• You are not in control - your audience/customer/partner is.
