2008-07-20T18:18:47-07:00

Social Media in the Inc. 500: The First Longitudinal Study - Center for Marketing Research - University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

2008-07-19T08:34:12-07:00

"This study revisits the Inc. 500 approximately one year later (using the 2007 list) in the first longitudinal study on corporate use of these new technologies. Given that previous research now shows that just 11.6% of the Fortune 500 currently having a public blog, it is astounding to see that 39% of the Inc. 500 are blogging. The addition of 3.6% more Fortune 500 companies to the blogosphere pales in comparison to the addition of 20% more of the Inc. 500 companies after the same time period."

But He's Really Nice In Person: Social Media and the Embarrassing CEO | Marketing Profs Daily Fix Blog

2008-07-13T09:35:54-07:00

"But that’s the job of the agency or the social media consultancy. To figure out who needs to assume the role of the customer-facing online company representative. To audition people internally to ensure that you’ve got the right players in place. To be the one who points out that even though other CEOs have created a following online, yours is likely to have the opposite effect. To create a mix of characters who all play off against each other to create a complete and holistic picture."

Finally. They have an iPhone app too, but unfortunately their first release doesn't have syncing. Though the team is promising it soon.

As Web Traffic Grows, Crashes Take Bigger Toll - NYTimes.com

2008-07-13T08:44:38-07:00

"Companies like Google want us to store not just e-mail online but also spreadsheets, photo albums, sales data and nearly every other piece of personal and professional information. That data is supposed to be more accessible than information tucked away in the office computer or filing cabinet. The problem is that this ideal requires Web services to be available around the clock — and even the Internet’s biggest companies sometimes have trouble making that happen."

"It’s tactic-itis people. It’s throwing applications against the wall and hoping to god that one of them sticks. When you jump in the middle of the process, you sacrifice the most important component of what makes a community work (and what makes it sustainable, too) – the groundswell. The legwork of going out and talking to people and asking them what they want from you. How you can support them. Connect them. Empower them."
