Re: Wikinomics » Blog Archive » Is it time to retire retirement?

kinlane — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:44:45 -0000

And with the Internet, think of the opportunities you have to stay involved in industries and other activities.

You can stay at home and casually work and still enjoy your retirement, while sharing your wisdom with the world.

Re: Wikinomics » Blog Archive » Blogger.com vs. CNN.com, and other fun with Alexa

kinlane — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:41:49 -0000

I think it is a fair comparison. A media outlet like CNN tries to to be everything to everyone and cover many different genres.

However they are limited to what sells. A blogging platform has a wide open canvas and can cover whatever they like.

I think CNN is a platform.

I think looking at the comparison is very similar to the comparison of new media and old media.

You have to open your mind to see the comparison.

Re: Wikinomics » Blog Archive » YouTube opens up further - the journey from destination site to open service platform continues

Google approach is definitely ahead of the pack. Embracing a ubiquitous presence is the future.

Understanding that their next round of growth will not occur on the youtube.com domain is very smart.

This is a simple approach, but very powerful and more businesses need to embrace.

I see naysaying from many folks who can't release themselves from a traditional top down way of conducting business.

They see it as black or white. Top down....or a utopian social collaboration.

He states, "his sole mission is a socially friction–free update of the timeworn capitalist power dynamics".

Throughout your book you guys state how tough a lot of these iniatives are to achieve, and at no point state it will friction-free. The friction can generate energy.

Just because corporations participate in collaboration doesn't put them in control nor does it give all the control to the masses, it is a mutual relationship. The relationship is not necessarily forced from either side...there are organic elements that contribute to the process.

Great list of Twitter sources. Interesting to see how many professional sources are using it.

Would like a twitter tranlator for some of these overseas and foreign language twitters.

Hey Anthony. Your link to the Wikinomics Playbook is bad above.

I know where it is from the site....but thought about your syndication of this post.

Re: Wikinomics » Blog Archive » Too Much Climate Change Activism?

kinlane — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 17:19:20 -0000

I think there needs to be more consolidation in the non profit sector.

In the mainstream sector when there are too many players there is a natural selection process for consolidation and the big ones buy up the little ones to gain market share and be more effective.

How do we encourage this in the non profit sector. Are there ways of attributing more value on the eyeballs and participants that they are getting the would equal more funding from large foundations?

I know foundations have metrics on their grants, but seems they could get more social media about it.

Re: Does the digital world endanger the reading brain?

kinlane — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 23:49:10 -0000

Looking at my reading habits the Internet has definitely affected my "deep reading" and the amount I read books in general.

I wouldn't say deep reading is endanger of being killed off, just the Internet is evolving the way we receive information.

The amount and diversity of information I read has grown immensely since 1995.

The Internet has introduced me to a lot of books as well.

However I do deal with attention attention deficits when trying to read books. I have a lot of half read books laying around.

Re: Wikinomics » Blog Archive » Will China’s firewalls ever come down?

kinlane — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:16:20 -0000

Fighting China's firewall definitely will be an uphill battle and will most definitely get worse before it gets better.

However with todays technology available to us such as mobile, satellite, peer to peer communications, and social networks there has to be enough to technology to keep poking holes in the firewall.

The Olympics hopefully will also shine the spotlight on the situation.

I love what the Internet has done to traditional corporate structures and even some entrenched governmental structures.

I hold high hopes that it can take on China's firewall.

I would like to see more raw data access to these search results as well.

Similarly to how we have RSS feeds for most things, be able to click on a button to add to our favorite data store and be able to crunch on the data even further or add into a queue for aggregating into larger result sets.

Being a database person I am gettin a large amount of requests for average MBA and other business focus people wanting to getg more hands-on with data crunching.

It is good that Google is starting to take their results to the next level.

How much involvement from the client do you guys require? If you are the executioner how often do you need decision makers from the company to be involved and helping define the voice of the campaign?

Re: Quantifying the Impact of Social Media: Where the Edelman White Paper Got it Right, Got it Wrong and What We Should Do Next

kinlane — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 09:09:28 -0000

Hey Jim...great post!

Been thinking about this topic for a few weeks now after reading several of those white papers you mentioned.

Also been trying to define the success of several social media campaigns.

I also would like to understand and evolve my own social media index.

I have a great opportunity to start fresh with a new social media persona, I am starting a new job next week. It will be in the outdoor gear and clothing industry and I'll be starting fresh with some new social media campaigns.

So I have started tracking my regular social media and tech activity under one account. And I will start tracking fresh my activities in this new role as well next week.

I am using Google Notebook and Google Docs to track all of my activities in hopes of sharing and publishing the data for analysis. I hope to define some benchmarks for success, rating, and analyzing reach of my social media index.

I invite anyone to collaborate and can have access via API to my META Data and Daily content feeds for analysis and feedback.

I also invite anyone track and share their own data.

Your number 1 got me going Jim: To move the social media index forward, we'll need a system that serves as the white pages of social media with RSS.

Re: Wikinomics » Blog Archive » 8 tips that will help you manage your RSS feeds

kinlane — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 04:04:36 -0000

I spend about 10% of my RSS time on maintenance tasks involving my feeds, analytics, tags, cleaning old feed, finding new ones.

A well organized reader makes me much more efficient.

That is too funny. I was in the music industry for years in the 90's....and the schwag was your ultimate tool in buying souls.

So nice it doesn't work anymore.

Re: The Marketer’s Foray Into Social Media…

kinlane — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 02:30:31 -0000

Everyone wants to see case studies as well. The strategy always gets sold, they ask for metrics and example of other organizations success. They want Case Studies.

Would like to see everyone trying to product more case studies and be social about standards for social media marketing.

Is it his technology?

Re: Wikinomics » Blog Archive » The death of the newspaper: murder or suicide?

Why does there have to be any blame in the demise of newspapers.

Time changes things. Those who cannot adapt go away.

It is the nature of the world....not just technology.

Re: 1 in 4 Have No Internet Access: What’s the Impact on the Social Media Agency?

kinlane — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 21:52:38 -0000

Mobile and hand held devices will lead the way in large scale social media adoption.

Its easier to deploy cellular networks then broadband, and it is cheaper to provide handsets.

With the usage of off line wireless bar code adoption you will see the missing link between on and off line in social media as well as adoption by the masses.
