10 Ways Journalism Schools Are Teaching Social Media
It's nice to see Journalism Schools recognize the importance of social media. Especially if they don't want to turn out unemployable students.
New research: B2B buyers have very high social participation
Some highlights from this research (start by looking at the right two columns):
* 91% of these technology decision-makers were Spectators -- the highest number I've ever seen in a Social Technographics Profile. This means you can count on the fact that your buyers are reading blogs, watching user generated video, and participating in other social media. Note that 69% of them said they were using this technology for business purposes.
* Only 5% are non-participants (Inactives).
* 55% of these decision-makers were in social networks (Joiners) -- despite as mature businesspeople and not college students, you'd think they'd be participating a lot less.
* 43% are creating media (blogs, uploading videos or articles, etc.) and 58% are Critics, reacting to content they see in social formats. Again the numbers are very high compared to other groups we've surveyed, and again the level of participation for business purposes is also very high.
PR 2.0: New Communication Theory and the New Roles for the New World of Marketing
I love the comm theory. It's nice to see other people recognize that the most effective marketing is not marketing, it's solving communication problems.
Calling all Corporate Social Media Workers » Conversations Matter: Bridging the Social Media Gap
Here's my most recent post on Conversations Matter. I'm looking to round-up links to all the corporate social media workers out there who are blogging.
Too Many Choices, Too Much Content - ReadWriteWeb
Amen.
"Sometimes it's just hard to keep up. In this technology-focused niche we all live in there are new applications, new initiatives, and new platforms that spring up every day, not to mention constantly breaking news that fills our RSS readers. Take a day off and you're behind."
"It's hard to say. Early adopters are not going to stop playing with every new service, but it's clear that we're getting to a point where tools that centralize, aggregate, but most importantly filter our content are going to be the ones that win out."

-
MediaBuyerPlanner reports that Girls Learn to Ride, a site for young women interested in snowboarding and other extreme sports, uses social media sites to build their email list.The site currently has 10,000 names in its email database, but has a combined 50,000 friends in social networks such as Facebook, MySpace and Sponsorhouse. It sends out daily bulletins to its social networking "friends," encouraging them to sign up for the email list.
The company's largest growth has come from the social networks. Interestingly, emails to the social networks result in the highest conversion rates, as well.

iMedia Connection: 5 Brands Make Their Mark on MySpace - Conclusion

I found this comment interesting:
"What I regard as acceptable and what 99.9 percent of all marketers with an ad budget regard as acceptable are probably fairly aligned. But, these two are way, way out of alignment with what 99.9 percent of 16- to18-year-olds would regard as acceptable on the web. A disproportionately high number of MySpace profiles would make regular MTV watchers blush."
Since where did most teenagers learn this behavior? From the media that marketers are pushing on them. - tacanderson on 2006-08-31
