I’ve just returned from Dreamforce 11 in San Francisco, this first post about that amazing experience is one of the highlights of the trip. I managed to get to Gary Vaynerchuks keynote address and also video it. It’s nearly an hour long but it’s well worth the investment of time, he’s a brilliant guy and will teach you a lot about social media. The insights into having patience building a social community may initially seem counter intuitive but as he highlights are well worth the investment.

If you are running a small business today you better be using social media marketing. Social media has taken over the internet over the past few years. The great thing for small businesses is it’s all about the one-on-one connection, larger companies no longer have the upper hand. You must listen, engage and then inform.

Creating Passionate Users: The "Dumbness of Crowds"
The Article in Slashdot points to the Cable Industry losing touch with the upcoming generation of consumers. Techdirt has pointed out yet another cable exec that just doesn't quite get it. Comcast's COO, Steve Burke, recently urged the TV industry to find ways to " get consumers to change " rather than figure out better methods to cater to demand. "'An entire generation is growing up, if we don't figure out how to change that behavior so it respects copyright and subscription revenue on the part of distributors, we're going to wake up and see cord cutting.' How many consumers, in any market, are focused on 'respecting' vendors' revenue streams?

News Update by Rebecca Jeschke Patenting podcasting? You've got to be kidding. Yet a company called Volomedia just got the Patent Office to grant them such exclusive rights. EFF and the law firm of Howrey, LLP aren’t willing to just sit by and watch.
I am sitting here watching a live broadcast from TEDxSV via uStream along with nearly 1,000 other people. If you question the future of Television, as I do, then you realize that the power to broadcast is now in the hands of the consumer. The major TV channels do have the power of captive audiences but the recent move in the USA to digital broadcasting potentially created a strategic disruption that is causing consumers to look at alternatives to the traditional over the air, cable or satellite delivered programming. Yes, the Internet is the future of broadcasting. We can expect a mix of live and on-demand content from a seemingly infinite cache. At Le Web this week it was pointed out that users are uploading 24 hours of video to YouTube EVERY MINUTE !
Social Media Power - #TedxSV is on now
If Twitter keeps changing the rules on API access and plays favorites with their XMPP fire hose then the ecosystem could take matters in to their own hands and cut Twitter out of the loop. The sooner Twitter comes out with a viable business model where everyone can understand how Twitter has a viable future, the better for everyone. If Twitter keeps constructing walls to protect their position then there will be more incentive for players in the ecosystem to construct the parallel Twitter-verse where their future in no longer subject to the whim of Twitter.

When Talking About Business Models, Remember That Profits Equal Revenues Minus Costs
There is no shortage of discussion about Internet business models these days. And they almost always focus on revenues. But revenues are only half of the value creation equation. The other half is costs. Let me explain.This article has been cross-posted from the Convergence Culture Consortium blog . In the last week of January, an interesting conversational thread broke out on the Association of Internet Researchers mailing list regarding a video about scholarship in the “critical commons,” on the debate between digital humanities and media studies. The video follows below, but judging by the preview image it might not be exactly what you expect: Professor Charles Ess reacted to the video, writing: How profoundly disappointing, if not on the edge of insulting . If (a) you know German reasonably well, and especially if (b) you’ve seen the terrific film, Der Untergang, that is ripped off here – it doesn’t strike me as funny at all.
