Buzz Marketing for Technology

JULY 7, 2008

I’ve done a number of workshops the past few months with clients designed to do two primary things: Land a common understanding across the teams involved around what social media, communities and influencer programs really are and more importantly why it matters to a business. I wish that could be enough said.

That doesn’t typically fly elsewhere (Facebook will kill the account), but Times Square on Friendster required 2 accounts at the time because I maxed out on the initial 500 person limit. The High Point: Facebook In 2004, I joined Facebook and my behavior changed drastically. I had many friends just like that.

It also serves a specific purpose, while its chief competitor, Facebook, does not. That’s why I, like Eric , won’t be spamming Facebook, but I feel fine about doing so on Twitter. I don’t want to lose friends over Facebook mini feed abuse. So while I love Facebook , Twitter fulfills many needs.

Facebook Advertising will take off – This year Facebook saw their advertiser base triple! Facebook ads today remind me of Google AdWords in 2001 with low CPC’s on topics and segments many marketers will want to reach. I predict you will see Facebook surpass Google by Valentines day 2010. Share this on Facebook.

My uncle knows a young girl from his community, a recent college graduate, who is looking for a social media job. Those of you who read Techipedia regularly know that I won’t add you as a Facebook friend if I don’t know you. When she found out I was his niece, she became ecstatic. Not yet, at least.

Networks like Digg, FriendFeed, and Facebook are seeing huge growths in value, but the little guys, the ones actually providing the meat and potatoes for those operations, rarely see a nickel. When contrasted with the StumbleUpon model, the FriendFeeds and Diggs of the world seem to have the process backwards.

Twitter, he says, “became my way of talking with a community of people.&# Today, it appears every retail or business concern says ‘follow us on Twitter’ or ‘be our friend on Facebook.’ More importantly, they’ve created a go-to place or space for community. This isn’t by coincidence.&#
