It contrasts the Statusphere with the "Blogosphere" which indexes over 1 million blogs but has fewer users and less content shared. The document emphasizes that influence in the Statusphere will depend on being a creator, curator, or consumer of compelling content and connecting with audiences through one's social networks and interests. Effective social media strategies involve sharing relatable and helpful content that addresses people's pains and frustrations in order to spread virally and increase one's digital footprint and influence.
