Social Network Failure: What Happened to MySpace?
It seems like forever ago when I last wrote about MySpace on .eduGuru . Actually it was over a year and a half ago when I was exploring Social Media Sites for Higher Education Marketing , but one quote still stands out as an accurate way to describe MySpace. ”MySpace is like the wild wild west or Las Vegas of social media, dirty and ghetto” Yup, that quote pretty much summed up MySpace a year and a half ago and now it’s even worse. It’s like an abandoned Detroit neighborhood.

The most recent Advertising Week focused relentlessly on social media. I saw this firsthand as co-emcee of OMMA Global . I also saw it as an attendee of several other events. But for all the excitement and expert pontification, most people are getting it wrong. The fundamental problems and opportunities of social media don't lie in creating Twitter profiles or Facebook pages.

In Social Media, Collaboration is King | Brian Solis - PR 2.0
Guest post by Becky Carroll: Read her blog | Follow her on TwitterPosted by Suw Charman-Anderson I’ve been thinking a lot lately about jargon, especially in the field of social media. As someone who’s watched the social media market grow up over the last seven years, I’ve also watched the field-specific terminology flourish and I’ve seen it frustrate and flummox people too. Early in my social media career I had a client who could not explain what their company did without using huge amount of what was then brand-new terminology. It was a problem, because if you can’t explain to potential new clients what you do and how you do it in words they can understand, it can make it difficult to close new deals.

Because an underlying karma score is a number, product managers often misunderstand the interaction between numerical values and online identity. The thinking goes something like this: In our application context, the users' value will be represented by a single karma, which is a numerical value. There are good, trustworthy users and bad, untrustworthy users, and everyone would like to know which is which, so we will display their karma.
Noah Berger for The New York Times Tyler Kennedy, 9, uses YouTube to research school reports, guitar techniques and video games. Update | 12:00 p.m. Changed language to clarify that some figures referred to billions of views, not billions of people. Pretty much everyone knows that YouTube is the king of online video. Indeed, comScore recently said that in August, YouTube surpassed 10 billion views in a single month in the United States for the first time. That made YouTube nearly 20 times more popular than its nearest rival in online video, Microsoft , which showed just 547 million videos.

All social media involve a dislocation that de couples the act of communication or interaction from its artifact, which is a text or recording. This is a shame, in some respects, but one that creates possibilities that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the medium. The medium allows us to be always here and now but visible elsewhere anytime. It has a built in “anyplace, anytime.” This anyplace, anytime is brought into focus by each of us when we use social media. For us it’s always now.The enterprise microblogging service Socialcast is getting some interesting analytical functions. Unlike the data you can get from Bitly (the closest most people get to seeing real analytics on microblogging), Socialcast's new Social Business Intelligence feature is designed to help the mucky-mucks in your company "understand the social dynamics or your organization," not just see traffic patterns. If your company uses the Socialcast service for more than just occasional hobbyist microblogging--that is, if whoever hooked up your company with Socialcast also set up the important features the service offers, like integration into CRM, wikis, employee blogs, and other internal systems--then there could be a rich stream of social data coming from the product.
Twitter while you work: Socialcast makes it good for your career
It seems that terms like social media expert and guru are stirring lots of conversations. Jason Falls, at socialmediaexplorer , wrote a post titled Enough With The Social Media Guru Attacks which he says “While I do agree with Leggio’s assessment that your social media “expert” should have case studies, proof points and successes that point to integrated wins with an overall marketing campaign, the truth is that limits the pool to about 3-4 dozen folks in the world. No one has been doing it that long and that successfully. We’re all learning as we go. Yeah, there are a few with some good proof points, but this world, as we know it, is 4-5 years old at best. And while the video ( produced on pretty damn cool software by the way ) was cleverly done by Markham Nolan and is a funny, playful look at the whole guru phenomenon, it undermines the credibility of anyone in the social media business by implying anyone can do this and do it well.
