I go to my favorite Social Networks everyday. Every hour. I can’t stop. Follow my Twitter. Become my Facebook friend. Like me! This is the world we now live in. We are all stars in each other lives via sites “like” Facebook, Twitter, and many others. We comment to impress and love to know we are heard. You love/hate these things, and so do we. You find the ever changing rules of communication maddening and so do we. You wish you had more time to do it (and more will power to quit it) and so do we. Disagree? Why is it that real life lately is called “being offline”? Why is it that being online seems like the only real thing going? What the f**k happened to using the phone!? This was the inspiration for making Status Kill. Denton Sparks, our “hero”, is supposed to be working, but is doing what we all do when faced with work — we chat with our friends. Unfortunately Denton’s job as a professional assassin doesn’t lend itself to aimless banter (we know it’s not ALL aimless) as by being online sometimes in the middle of a firefight can lead to a quick demise, but he simply can’t help it! Denton, in all his killer perfection, has become the ultimate addict to “TweetFacester”, the world’s biggest social network, and his online life has become the center of his “offline” albeit somewhat more dangerous day job. Status Kill is slated to be an ongoing series that will chat about all the things that we should be conscious of such as: contextual advertising, privacy, the meaning of online relationships in our REAL lives, The cost of constant intermittent communication which never actually tells us anything, sharing a profile with a grandparent, niece, and hot chick/dude you are trying to hook up with. Etc. Etc Etc. It’s all VERY confusing and Denton, the extreme version of us real world addicts, will stumble through it all while on the world’s most dangerous missions.

As a marketer or a business owner, the question remains, Is it worth it to spend time in the social networking world online? The answer is Yes. With over 1.6 billion people online everyday there is no question that any business will benefit from this social media and social networking movement. The trick is making sure you have the right approach. I recently wrote a blog post on how to have a successful Facebook business page (http://tr.im/zbfq). The fact is whether youre on Facebook, twitter or any other social networking sitethe rules are pretty much the same. Here are a few tips to write down that way you too can experience what it feels like to have success with social networking. Its pretty simple: 1) Be Authentic with the information youre providing 2) Let people know who you are and where youre from be human and relatable 3) PROVIDE VALUE (this is key!) 4) Get your readers, followers, audience engaged by asking questions and getting feedback 5) Create Relationships When you put the focus on your readers rather than a marketing message, youll have a completely different experience. You will be meeting people, having real conversations and creating real relationships. When all of this happens the success will come and all of the time spent on your social networking campaign will be more than worth it.

http://www.jrsnyderjr.com Online social networking communities have developed into their own social networking communities bonded online much like they are offline, beyond what the corporations who purchased the technology conceived of. A corporation’s intention is to make money but a whole new phenomenon has developed that is the germ of a social revolution. Corporations provide only the technical platform (at colocation centers) and should make reasonable money off these networks, but if the participants in these sites want some control of decisions about how these communities operate on these corporations platforms, they need to understand the nature of corporations. We will see communities develop on sites such as YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and some not yet known, and that these communities can relocate across platforms.

Question: How much do you feel comfortable sharing with the world? Do you have a twitter, facebook, myspace? How much is too much? Duration : 0:3:13
http://vimeo.com/user313340 The visualization uses Twitter searches for phrases like “just landed in” “arrived at” to create a “real time” trend of movement based on social networking information. Possible uses included tracking flu outbreaks like searching for tweet related to H1N1 and then visually graphing them. http://blog.blprnt.com/ http://processing.org/ Here’s what he says: “I was discussing H1N1 with a bioinformatics friend of mine last weekend, and we ended up talking about ways that epidemiologists model transmission of disease. I wondered how some of the information that is shared voluntarily on Social Networks might be used to build useful models of various kinds. I’m also interested in visualizing information that isn’t implicitly shared – but instead is inferred or suggested. This piece looks for tweets containing the phrases ‘just landed in…’ or ‘just arrived in…’. Locations from these tweets are located using MetaCarta’s Location Finder API. The home location for the traveling users are scraped from their Twitter pages. The system then plots these voyages over time. I’m not entirely sure where this will end up going, but I am reasonably happy with the results so far. Built with Processing (processing.org)” You can read more about this project on his blog – http://blog.blprnt.com/ Duration : 0:1:55 |
