Jobs. As Social Technologies Become Pervasive, Prepare Your Company « When I started this job a year and a half ago, my coverage was simply over social networks and community platform vendors. On occasion I would speak to brand monitoring companies, and of course pure play social media sites (blogging software, microblogging, etc) But now, I spend talking to companies from a variety of spaces as social technologies creep into their space. It’s increasingly difficult to monitor as it spreads, but expected as the era of social colonization takes hold. Social technologies become pervasive and spread throughout the entire company.

Anthropology: The Art of Building a Successful Social Site - Rea. Picture if you will, a collaborative site that runs on two servers, is managed by four people, and has attracted a third of its target demographic within six months of launch. A site that has had 800,000 posts submitted by its users in its short lifetime and has 16 million pageviews/month – and growing.

How? Easy, according to founder Joel Spolsky; all it takes is an understanding of anthropology and a lot of determination. “As we move from the era of computing into the era of the Internet, we no longer need to worry about computer-human interaction.” Joel Spolsky told a group of programmers at Google last month.

Health, Search, And Social Media. People who search for health related issues online are exposed to a large amount of user-generated media. They are frequently relying on corporate, nonprofit and government Web sites along with blogs and other social media according to a study from Envision Solutions done in December. Fard Johnmar, founder of Envision Solutions says that people are having an impact on healthcare and products they are researching online. ““Citizen medical experts are shaping people’s perceptions of health products, services and issues in numerous ways,” he said. “Marketers must listen to conversations people are having online and find ways to provide people with health content they want in ways that are relevant to their brands.” Online health searchers are routinely exposed to user- generated media. Out of 16 queries Envision Solutions conducted on Google and Yahoo, user-generated media appeared on the first three pages of search 88 percent of the time.

But increasingly they are playing online—in virtual worlds. Altogether in 2008, an estimated 8 million US children and teens visited virtual worlds on a regular basis, and eMarketer projects that number will grow to over 15 million by 2013. Virtual world usage among children in the US is already quite strong and getting stronger. eMarketer estimates that 37% of online children ages 3 to 11 use virtual worlds at least once a month. By 2013, 54% will. In addition, 18% of online teens will visit virtual worlds on at least a monthly basis in 2009, according to eMarketer, and by 2013, 25% will. “Unfortunately, as with social networks, advertising has not kept pace with usage,” says Debra Aho Williamson, eMarketer senior analyst and author of the new report, Kids and Teens: Growing Up Virtual.
But things are turning out differently for virtual worlds aimed specifically at the youth audience. My developerWorks: Helping the World Work Smarter.

Brand Mentions Preferred over Ads. Want to get Internet users to visit your Website or follow your brand? The best way to accomplish those tasks, according to ARAnet, based on polling by Opinion Research Corporation, may not be advertising. Compared with banner ads, pop-up ads, e-mail offers and sponsored links, articles that include brand information were most likely to lead US Internet users to read—and act. In addition to making a product so compelling it demands coverage, this requires a more natural, PR-focused strategy of getting the word out.
Or in some cases, tailoring ads so they look like articles. How likely viewers were to take action depended slightly on demographic factors. About one-half of both men and women were likely or somewhat likely to respond to articles that have brand information included in them. Internet users were more likely to take action the younger they were, and African-Americans and Hispanics were more likely to take action than whites. Look inside eMarketer.

Moms Say Marketers Ignore Their Needs. Social Strategy for Exciting (and Boring) Brands. By Josh Bernoff (From my Marketing News column.) There are two kinds of brands in the world. If you are a marketer, you know what I mean. There are brands people like to talk about, and brands they don’t. Brands of the first kind – the brands that marketing thinker Rohit Bhargava calls “talkable” – are uncommon. Apple’s iPhone is a talkable brand. So is Harley-Davidson. Brands that people don’t like to talk about – I’ll call them “boring” brands – are everywhere. I’ve been analyzing social strategies for both kinds of brands, and they form an interesting contrast. Let’s start with the talkable brands.
What does this mean for the marketer? As a result, you’ll probably have make sure they all to those social network profiles, communities, and videos connect with one another, and with the sites your fans already have. The boring brands have different problem, but social applications can help them, too. Borrowed relevance is a versatile strategy. 7 Questions Some Brands Are Asking About Twitter: Vignette'
