Twitter “ Twitter has been a focal point in coverage of the Iran election, as its users have railed against mainstream-media outlets and shared proxy information so that Iranian citizens can maintain anonymous Internet access.” Wall Street Journal Twitter Retains Spotlight in Iran Coverage June 16, 2009, 2:50 PM ET
08/08/09 Over the last few years we have seen dynamic changes to the association value proposition. Members are no longer accepting occasional chapter meetings and a monthly magazine, they are demanding more networking opportunities through newer electronic mediums. If you know what the social web is, do you see it as a risk or opportunity? Business week last week referred to the social web as a place where “…users form communities around common interests.” – now let’s look at a common definition of an association: “a formal organization of people or groups of people” – see how closely defined these two very different things are?

Goal: All about developing relevant messages delivered to masses which generate relationships that in turn create connected communities.

In a fixed group like an organization’s membership, I’d think 2 and 3 would be pretty close to the same thing in a short time. Which might make it even cooler. You are one level away from everyone in the industry! We might even have two different networks, members vs. non-members. Or members vs. vendor members. This might be a useful way for vendor members to get rated. Ebay style. So, like, let’s say a certain salesperson for Marsh has a really good rep for going the extra mile. They could submit their names to the “vendor” directory, or the like, and get rated by anyone who’s dealt with them before. A good guy gets 5 stars from 100 members. A bad guy gets 1.3 stars from 50 people. This info would only be available to members, btw. Then, let’s say I am looking thru the vendor directory for a new insurance sales guy, I come across a 5 star guy. I click on his profile and it says ”Rob, Andy Steggles and Doug (2 of your contacts) rate this guy as 5 stars. Contact them to get their take on him”. Basically, using the network to make these recommendations. 08/08/09
08/08/09 A study conducted by Harvard Business Review reveals that most Twitter users don’t actually use the service much, or even at all. In fact, 10% of active users are responsible for over 90% of all Tweets. According to the research, conducted on a random sample of about 300,000 Twitter (Twitter) users in May 2009, 25% of Twitter users don’t tweet at all, while 50% of users tweet less than once every 74 hours. Active users, on the other hand, tweet a lot, which makes Twitter a lot more like Wikipedia (Wikipedia) than an average social network

Identify your community, content and conversation Support, not create a community with a definite purpose. No purpose, no loyalty. Community – Generate a following by spreading your brand across targeted web vehicles and creating a feedback loop that converts interest into sales leads When asked what is the best social media tool to launch; the obvious answer is the tool where you find your community.

Don’t overwhelm your own resources Monitoring and participating in community discussions takes time and resources. Don’t take on a community presence and then become absent. Community members expect responses. If you don’t participate, neither will they.
