tool for broadcasting messages, scooping breaking news, tapping in to real time conversations, as well as real time search

I was reading, "The Inside Numbers on Twitter", from eMarketer. The article is about a hack attack on Twitter and where hackers stole information and posted it on the net. The information is the internal projected growth numbers of the micro-blogging service through 2011.

Search on the NOW web with Twitter

jim wilde — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:24:16 +0000

Real time search and Twitter.

"...Twitter Search changes everything. Imagine you are in line waiting for coffee and you hear people chattering about a plane landing on the Hudson. You go back to your desk and search Google for plane on the Hudson — today — weeks after the event, Google is replete with results — but the DAY of the incident there was nothing on the topic to be found on Google. Yet at http://search.twitter.com the conversations are right there in front of you. The same holds for any topical issues — lipstick on pig?

To get ideas - engage the wisdom of crowds, in ways you've never imagined possible. You can see this idea in action on del.icio.us and technorati.com.

Kathy Sierra from creating passionate users blog remarks on "The wisdom of crowds" ..."the wisdom comes not from the consensus decision of the group, but from the aggregation of the ideas/thoughts/decisions of each individual in the group."

Web 2.0 and Social Networking Behind The Firewall

jim wilde — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 12:32:10 +0000

The business world is adopting web 2.0, social software to meet internal demands.

"The whole Web 2.0 explosion has moved from the consumer and college student world to professionals in the business world," says Amy Shuen, author of Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide. (O'Reilly Media, 2008). "Employees are seeing this as a way of enlarging their sphere and interacting with colleagues." The following links are from a CW article, "The new employee connection: Social networking behind the firewall.

Web 2.0, Communites, and Business Processes

jim wilde — Wed, 28 May 2008 12:14:06 +0000

The original ideas behind web 2.0 communities were about openness and abundance.

The ability for members to freely exchange information. Most CMO's and business managers rely on web analytics - they look at quantitative data - to make decisions. CMO's should be changing their thinking about value. Rarely do they have a feel for the qualitative information. You know, the kind you would get from actively participating in a community or talking to customers. Ohhhhhhhh messy. Too time consuming.

Ahhhhh, the old 80/20 rule applies to social and community sites.

Students at LIAFA University in Paris partnered with a team at Orange Labs to analyze Flickr (a web 2.0 application) using data from 2006. They produced this paper.

Social shopping sites ringing up sales

jim wilde — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:39:34 +0000

With social shopping sites, product blogs and online ratings and reviews consumers have the means to communicate their opinions about products and companies to tens of thousands of other consumers like themselves at a critical point in the sales cycle - the beginning.

Amazon figured out social shopping and e-comm - social e-commerce - a long time ago. They made it easy for consumers (aka prosumers) to make recommendations, write reviews and then share the information with other users. Although, I am not surprised that these ideas failed to catch on with most businesses. Interestingly, most businesses today are missing out on web 2.0 too.

Ideas take life when they are shared. That is why the web is such a potent platform for creativity and innovation.

Here's a nice film promoting Charles Leadbetter's new book "We Think". The book is about collaborative innovation on the net.

From Mr. Leadbetter's site, "Welcome to We-think: mass innovation, not mass production

WeThink explores how the web is changing our world, creating a culture in which more people than ever can participate, share and collaborate, ideas and information.

Improving customer services with social networking software.

jim wilde — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 12:05:22 +0000

Customer facing employees using social networking software are improving customer services.

Employees are able to collaborate and share what they know with other employees and learn what they don't know about customers. To go further, these social applications can be opened up so parts of the them (idea management) can help customers provide feedback, make reviews, or share ideas on how to improve products and services. This works. Take a look at Amazon.

Applying open source ideas to business.

The open-source software movement developed because people had an "itch to scratch". One that "off-the-shelf" software did not support or was too costly to use. In the open source community people want to contribute, learn and share their knowledge and experience. They want to participate in a rich learning environment. They want to be able to get their work done and make a difference. We know from experience that these ideas work in a business environment.
