& CSR/Corporate Social Media Research References
(The Social Web Space, The Charity Space & The Social­Charity Opportunity/
Problem Space – where social web economics meet charity ecologic)
1. The Social Web Space – If the diverse uses of social networks represent the
mineral wealth of the earth, present social web models mine only the copper,
leaving the bulk of the mineral value untapped. The ad-based revenue model
which dominates the US social web space still revolves around the archaic notion
that users are passive observers and consumers rather than active creators and
producers of value. This twentieth-century television/radio advertising model is
thus limited in its ability to realize the progressive value and power of social
networks.
The dogmas of the quiet past are truly inadequate to the stormy present. While
this model is calculated to approach the long tail, its angle of approach remains
shallow & one-dimensional. Innovators who recognize that much of the raw
material provided by the social web remains unredeemed are now devising new
ways to harness the flows of value generated by its cognitive surplus.
Appreciative of the past and sensitive of the possible, SMRC monitors these flows
of value in the marketplace and aggressively explores new capital horizons as
they come into view.
The Social Web is a nineteen-year old phenomenon,4 eight-years in its present
manifestation,5 with global scope, endlessly and rapidly evolving & expanding
applications, and virtually limitless potential. Increasingly, web users are
proactively interconnecting their lives and minds. As of June 2010, according to
Nielsen, U.S. users spend better than half their time online interacting with
friends and groups.6 Every day, this phenomenon is becoming more:
4
No sooner did the World Wide Web become available to the public (1991) than its users began to
find ways of connecting for social interaction, transforming the intentions of the web‘s creators.

Friendster, the first modern social network, came online in 2002.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendster. ICQ (1988), Classmates.com and Match.com (1995), and
Napster (1999), and were milestones in the evolution of the Social Web.

3. � Profitable
� In June of 2009, Techcrunch estimated the market value of the top
twenty-seven social networks to be over $27.5 billion
13
($27,635,000,000.00). As of September 24, 2010, Second Shares
put the value of the hottest nine U.S. social networking sites at over
$45 billion ($45,497,000,000.00).14
� Social networks worldwide are estimated to bring in $3.3 billion in
advertising dollars alone in 2010.15
� In the U.S., social networks are scrambling to capitalize on untapped
non-ad revenues represented by the social web. Among the streams
poised to emerge is trade of virtual goods. 16 Social media analytics is a
burgeoning field.17
� Progressive
� October 26, 2010 – Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg announced that
10,000 websites integrate with Facebook every day. 18 An unnamed
source at Facebook revealed that Facebook credits, already sold at
Target, will be sold at Walmart and BestBuy. 19
� February 3, 2010 – Pepsi Co. abandoned its 23-year-old Super Bowl
marketing campaign in favor of a $20 million social web marketing
initiative, Pepsi Refresh, a social media giving-campaign that awarded
grants to the grassroots projects earning the most votes on its
website. Since January 2010, more people have voted for Pepsi
Refresh causes than voted in the last presidential election. 20

4. � October 22, 2010 – Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Doerr
announced their $250M sFund, a clear indicator that market leaders
envision the social web space as the next important wave of
technology. Compare Doerr and Jobs’ 2008 announcement of the $100
million Kleiner Perkins iFund, on the bet that mobile devices
(smartphones) would become more important than personal
computers.21
� Powerful
� “Wikipedia took the idea of peer review and applied it to volunteers on
a global scale, becoming the most important English reference work in
less than 10 years. Yet the cumulative time devoted to creating
Wikipedia, something like 100 million hours of human thought, is
expended by Americans every weekend, just watching ads.” 22
� Barack Obama‘s 2008 presidential campaign abandoned conventional
media in favor of social media, and proved to be the most successful
political fundraising effort in living memory, with over half a billion
dollars in online donations.23
� The social web is revolutionizing consumer behavior. ―Tech-savvy
consumers are [now] in charge with their use of emerging social
technologies. Retailers need to meaningfully engage with informed
consumers digitally or lose market share. The use of social media and
mobility can level the playing field and provide retailers of all sizes
with opportunities to amplify their brand.ǁ 24
� The social web is a prime mover in the rapid development of the
developing world. ―[A]dvances in technology and the falling cost of
delivery are driving big corporations as well as entrepreneurs to take
new or renewed interest in solving some of the most seemingly
intractable issues we face as a global community, from health care to
education, from economic development and rolling out affordable
alternative energy to coping with the social and economic fallout from
25
natural disasters.ǁ
� The social web is revolutionizing activism. A prime example is

2. The Charity Space – According to the Charitable Giving Index, published
September 2010, better than half the world‘s population regularly gives or
volunteers for charitable causes.27 According to Giving USA, in 2009 Americans
donated $303.75 billion to charity, and individual givers and charitable bequests
accounted for 83% of that total, which represents roughly 3.3% of
28
individuals‘ annual income. As a cultural phenomenon, altruism flourishes
in step with material abundance due to its…
a. Universal Appeal – to the better angels of our human nature (See Addendum
A: Manifesto). Charity is as old as humanity itself. In large part, charity
made and makes us human.29 A flood of recent research has pointed to the
human capacity for empathy as necessary and decisive for the evolution of
homo sapiens.30 Based on these findings, we regard altruism as an innate
and fundamental human trait.
b. Universal Advantage – including…
� Tax-benefits & other benefits – that incentivize altruism.
� Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives – next-paradigm business-
drivers
� Social currency
c. Universal Agency – a different species of doing, a different breed of profit
In classical economic theory, agents act out of rational self-interest. The
ubiquitous phenomenon of charity (altruism) presents significant challenges
to this theory. Hamilton's celebrated biological formula for altruism (c < b *
r) remains incomplete for human systems in which we observe memetic

6. (ideological political professional & cultural) solidarity
regularly trump genetic coefficients of relatedness.31 Furthermore humans
universally share a powerful instinct to help even strangers with whom they
32
share neither known genetic nor known memetic heritage.
These primal impulses to help, activated by mirror neurons, derive from the
overlap of our brains' map of others' bodies onto our brains' map of our
own.33 This other-as-self phenomenon, often activated by visual stimulus
(our eyes), is so powerful it may be activated by stories, for narrative
characters present only to our minds-eye. This phenomenon stands behind
golden-rule formulae which arise independently in virtually every culture.
In every culture, calculi (maths) exist whereby the individual is deemed richer
when he shares value with others out of his surplus.34 We have evolved from
maternal instinct to genuine fellow-feeling. Not only does benevolence count
as credit in every culture, as the world grows more connected and as
economics globalize it is increasingly the case that reinvestment in any
represents return in one's own.
Insofar as any self is always already embedded in and responsible to
numerous social spheres, rational self-interest becomes indistinguishable
from rational others-interest. Giving is responsible. Giving is sustainable.
2.1 Charity Space Latest Trends
a. Unprecedented Proliferation – Over the past decade (2000-2009) the
number of registered 501(c)(3)s has grown by 151.2%. 35
b. Emerging Online Presence – Social Media giants Facebook, YouTube and
Myspace all now offer virtual property and platforms to many non-profits
on their websites. Facebook's Causes (launched May 25, 2007) currently
leads this trend. Causes claims 140 million members, and reports over

For example, for someone with $100 in $1 bills, once he is fed clothed & sheltered, there exists
statistical "sweet-spots" for personal benefit from sharing with, e.g. 1) a friend, 2) an acquaintance,
3) a fellow-citizen, 4) a stranger (fellow-human).

7. $27 million raised for some 390,000 user-generated
causes to date.36 Causes averaged 25 million active users in October
2010.37
c. Explosion of Options – Several independent charitable donations portals
exist, providing services such as accepting online donations, linking
volunteers with opportunities, driving micro-revenue streams for charity
via search engines and ads, and providing micro-charities with
organizational tools. (See Addendum E: Map of the Charitable Web Space
& Addendum F: Charity Statistics by Region, Income & Demographic)
3. Social – Charity - Problem/Opportunity Space: Tremendous possibilities exist
where the economics of the Social Web and the “ecologic” of charity intersect.
a. Social Web Economic Paucity
1. Most advertise to generate revenue (e.g. Google & Youtube). SMRC
eschews conventional advertising models.
2. Many hold user data they cannot fully exploit for privacy reasons (e.g.
Facebook & Twitter). The social web has yet to figure out how to
capitalize fully on the popularity of social websites and the wealth of
behavior populations perform on them.
b. Charitable Ecological Waste
1. Conventional funding mechanisms include galas, concerts, events,
fundraising drives, seasonal promotions, direct & indirect sales
campaigns, traditional broadcast marketing, etc.
2. These conventional funding mechanisms, and their underlying models,
are not only sporadic but also carry heavy overheads which eat into
the funds collected.
c. SMRC brings together the economics of the social web and the ecologic of
charity:
� By aggregating the Collective Intelligence of the network, SMRC
captures value untapped by conventional social web applications in a
novel & vibrant zero-ad/zero-threat space.

8. � SMRC provides a regular, recurring, and zero-overhead funding
alternative for our charities. For our members, their societies at large, and
the world, SMRC offers an environment for the development of future
applications to optimize the potential of the ever-evolving commons. In
so doing, SMRC – subliminally, symbolically, and socially
– promotes and rewards altruistic social behavior and an ethos of
philanthropy.
� The Social Web is just the most recent of humanity's modes to express its
sociability. Before there were virtual social networks there were real
social networks. Virtual social networks are handy tools by which we
extend and actively evolve real social networks. Within the space of
charitability, sociability becomes eusociality. By nature, the two go hand-in-
hand. SMRC clears and maintains a space, a shared place, where they
can flourish... free from the threat of ads and malware, where personal
privacy is secure, where the flow of social and real currency is 100%
transparent, a true reflection of the zeitgeist.
The zeitgeist values social responsibility. Recent studies in the
corporate world evince how much social responsibility justifies cost- premium
and how much goodwill justifies purchase-intent. We look for this trend to
continue. As members of SMRC‘s community, we take part in something
larger than ourselves. We carve out a niche where charity meets social
web dynamics, where the better angels of our human nature may stretch
and exercise their powerful wings.
