Its impact signals a shift for marketers awayfrom “content” and “programming” towards“storytelling” and “relationships.”

As information disperses wildly/widely throughpersonal channels, marketers must revert from“sticky” mentality to “slippy.”*
Sticky websites require lures and“hooks” to get people to our sites
and then lock them in.
Mash-up Syndication
Slippy* ideas enablewide distribution of our
brand into daily life.

Facebook activity grew 32% from May to August 2007 withmore than a third of the growth coming from thousands of new
applications.
But…87% of the usage goes to only 84 applications (out of 5000)!
Only 45 applications have more than 100,000 active users.
Successful widgets benefit from highengagement, but proliferation puts a premiumon great ideas and penalizes the mediocre.

While the “experts” had their mixed say,we heard slightly contrasting feedback directlyfrom the people, via social networks.
Are the expert polls enough in the age of social media?

These largely free tools are just the tip of theiceberg. “Paid-for” online anthropology isscalable and much more sophisticated.
And best of all, it is total-sampling, not representative sampling.
Mass aggregate “mood of the nation/globe”
Tap the influencer trends
Map the ripple effects and groundswells
Dynamic for launch or crisis analysis
Track competitor buzz and sentiment
Potentially predictive of shopping behavior

We’ve covered a lot during this Brainfood lunch.Some key takeaways about The Social 10…
Social Graph: Brands need to co-create stories, it’s the way ideas travelat the social.
Social Shopping: Purchase decisions are not divorced from socialinfluence; the web is accelerating this.
Portability: From “sticky” to “slippy”—put handles on our content to gowhere people live throughout the web.
Lifestreaming: You, me, them, and our brands are always on…always.
Crowdsourcing: People add value. Open up your channels so you mayharvest that value.
Continuous Partial Attention: Don’t overload scarce mentalbandwidth…Ask: Is my branded social net/app really necessary?
Privacy Protection: Don’t rush your introductions at the social. Get toknow people better. Let the relationships build.
Open Social: It’s all coming together. If you’re not cross-compatible, youwill be irrelevant and not included.
Virtuality: Youth are fueling a hyper-accelerated social. It will mergesound, vision, text, fantasy, and reality in unimaginable ways.
Measurement 2.0: Traditional metrics will never be enough. The web nowoffers a bounty of new ways to listen to the conversation.
