Announcing: Open Foresight & The Future of Facebook Project In a world characterized by increasing complexity and accelerating change, we need tools that help us understand future possibilities in order to make more informed decisions today. The field of Futures Studies, or Strategic Foresight, has already developed many such tools, but they are still not commonly utilized by the general public. So, I’ve partnered up with a colleague, Alvis Brigis, to help elevate the ‘futures thinking’ meme. We’re developing a process called Open Foresight, which aims to serve as an updated model for harvesting collective insight, generating scenarios, and creating strategic roadmaps into the future. By combining available data, opinions from the experts, and the conventional wisdom of the crowds, we’ll be able to analyze a topic from a wide range of perspectives and viewpoints. The first project to employ this framework was launched on Kickstarter today – The Future of Facebook video series. by @EricaGlasier by @gavinkeech

The Future of Facebook Project by Venessa Miemis With over 600 million users and a valuation of over $70 billion, Facebook is the world's dominant social networking platform. What are the challenges a social media company of this size will face? What are the strategic moves it should make? How can Facebook users take advantage of the platform and its increasingly rich social graph? These are the questions we are addressing with the Future of Facebook video series. Interviews are still underway, but here’s a look at who we’ve talked to so far: David Armano - SVP, Edelman Digital Stowe Boyd - futurist, social technologies blogger Jamais Cascio - ethical futurist, Senior Fellow of the IEET Amber Case - co-founder Geoloqi Suzanne Fischer - Curator of Technology, The Henry Ford Garry Golden - energy and emerging markets futurist Alex Howard - Government 2.0 Correspondent for O’Reilly Media Kevin Kelly - author, What Technology Wants; founding editor, Wired Magazine Brett King - author, BANK 2.0 David Kirkpatrick - author, The Facebook Effect

Use Facebook Questions for Your Nonprofit Unlike the Q&A site Quora, Facebook Questions allows brands to ask and answer questions. On Quora you have to be a person, but Facebook Questions uses your nonprofit’s Page and avatar as your Facebook Questions identity. Quora is great for professionals and those that want to spend time building their personal brand online, but I think Facebook’s decision to allow brands to use Questions was smart. Very smart. The vast majority of nonprofits are more interested in building the brand name of their nonprofit, not the brand name of their nonprofit staff and when used strategically, Facebook Questions allows nonprofits to build the fan base inside the Facebook community. Step One :: Add Questions to Your Nonprofit’s Facebook Page As Mashable recently described, to add Facebook Questions to your Page you must first go to Account > Use Facebook as Page and Switch to the Page you want to add Questions to. Once added, the Questions tool is then added to your Official Facebook Page:

targeting sharing Nonprofit Tech 2.0 :: A Social Media Guide for Nonprofits Social Map Facebook Now Pays Users 10 Cents To Watch Certain Ads Facebook introduced a program Thursday that offers consumers a financial incentive to watch ads on the site. Facebook will now reward users who watch certain ads with Facebook Credits, which can be redeemed to purchase goods on Facebook Deals, the company’s new Groupon-like daily deals service. The incentive, however, is not huge. Initially, the average ad will yield one credit, which is equivalent to 10 cents. The ads will mostly be in games. CrowdStar, Digital Chocolate and Zynga are among the participating game publishers. Dan Greenberg, CEO of Sharethrough, says Facebook’s move represents “a step away from interruptive advertising.” Incentivizing consumers to watch ads is one solution for Facebook’s low banner click-through rates.

Comment Configurer Votre Nouvelle Page Facebook Comme Un Pro Les nouvelles Pages Facebook sont arrivées et avec elles, tout un lot de questions sur la meilleure manière de les optimiser. En effet, j’ai pu constater ce week-end que beaucoup d’entre vous avaient déjà adopté la nouvelle version et s’interrogeaient désormais sur le pourquoi et le comment de certains modules proposés. Je vous ai donc préparé un petit guide sur les aspects que j’ai jugé les plus importants à appréhender afin de prendre une décision en toute sérénité. 1. Cette fonctionnalité permet de s’enregistrer sur Facebook en tant que Page et non plus en tant que Profil. Chaque fois que vous intervenez sur d’autres Pages en tant que Page, vous augmentez votre visibilité en jalonnant le réseau social de liens renvoyant vers votre Page. Astuce : il ne s’agit pas ici de commenter en tant que Page sur les Pages de vos concurrents mais plutôt sur d’autres Pages de votre marque ou encore sur les Pages de vos partenaires après accord. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
