SocialThe Science of Social and How it Works

Small World Theory

After WWI, Europe began to rebuild itself. Social scientists recognized that understanding the optimal design of a city, its traffic flows and neighborhood dynamics became critical to effectively building city infrastructures.

Due to technological advances in communications and travel, friendship networks could grow larger and span greater distances. Essentially, the modern world is ‘shrinking’ due to this ever-increasing connectedness between human beings.

6 Degrees of Separation

A 2007 study by Microsoft examined a data set of instant messages composed of 30 billion conversations among 240 million people. They found the average path length among Microsoft Messenger users to be 6.6

Why Social?

Page 31: 2012 re presentation_mm2

The Dunbar Number

AKA “the theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.”

That number is generally accepted to be around 150.

Basically what this means is that when you grow your personal social network beyond 150 people, you have a difficult time directly interacting with each of those 150+ people in a meaningful, stable inter-personal way.

Move this online and because technology allows us to communicate faster and easier, we can expand our natural Dunbar Number to over 1500.

Why Social?

When your product will not sell online (i.e. real estate), use Facebook creatively (i.e. for Public Relations)

Curate interesting content on the wall

Use custom tabs to direct traffic from the page to conversion points on the website

Network across media pages as the page itself to drive traffic and interest form media sources back to the page.

SMB and Fan Pages

Page 41: 2012 re presentation_mm2

Facebook Groups can be created by anyone interested in promoting and organizing people around a specific interests or cause.

All members of a group have the ability to contribute content that appears on the Group’s wall – photos, videos, discussion threads.

Active participation: Because members of the group actively contribute content and participate in informal but meaningful discussions, they are more likely to keep coming back.

Groups come in three flavors: Open (anyone can join), Closed (group admin approves requests to join) and Secret (Only members and those invited know that the group exists)

Groups

Page 42: 2012 re presentation_mm2

The Group name should make people want to join. Which name would make you join: “ Let’s talk to Coca Cola about saving the World’s children” or “ColaLife“?

Invite your raving fans to start a discussion on the group (you know who these people are, right?). They’ll feel a sense of pride and will likely invite new people to join the group.

Groups

• Upload photos and videos – encourage members to post these to their profile so that their friends can easily join the group.
