Glad you liked the 4 C's post. Some nice content here. That Jarvis Quote you referenced was pretty hot. I may have to lift that for an upcoming post.

Re: Are Private Conversations History?

Max,

That's a pretty fair answer to a fair question. I guess that's the bigger point I was trying to make by referencing Greg's post. I thought he raised a valid point about a cgm conference not allowing cgm.

I agree with you about avoiding extremes, as extreme positions are certainly not the answer. I would be curious to see how your clients feel about future events. But I think you did a great thing here by addressing the question head and providing your rationale (as well as the disclosures)

Max,

A miracle it is. Serious congrats to you and family. I agree with CK, the name Julian does rock. Rest well and enjoy Thanksgiving.

It needs to be something around "synthesist" per your description of yourself. Couple of ideas.

"design synthesist"
"information synthesist"
"interaction synthesist"
"synthesis in process"
"digital synthesis"

;-)

Good luck.

Whitney,

calling out your Pleasure & Pain as blog of the day is a no-brainer. I can spot a winner when I see one. And this post is a nice way to capture our efforts on Allstate Innovations. It's one of the first pieces I show if I ever have to "prove" that I do more than talk about the game. ;-)

Keep up the great work here.

Thank you for adding to the conversation around this. I'm digesting of the dynamics around this event. On a personal level, we were just utterly elated that our digital neighbors came through. On a less personal note, I think that there is probably an opportunity with companies at this particular time to at least TRY to help make a difference vs. making something clever.

But that will be a very long road.

I don't have answers, but I am pondering. Thank you for contributing thoughts around this story.

"We're not interested in advertising on social networks—we're interested in getting in there and interacting with people"

Scott's done this for years and now is leading a huge company into new waters. I don't know why we can't pay attention to what's actually happening here vs. the fact that it's getting some press.

Scott, I really liked that you called out the elephant in the room "this is not advertising".

As you mentioned over our dinner. Somewhere along the way, we forgot how to talk to each other.

Advertisers are never going to stop creating fictional characters on social network because it's easier. But they'll have their work cut out for them because those characters or pet rocks will need to be brilliant beyond belief in order to get an audience.

Re: Becoming A Social Business Is Your Next Big Challenge

davidarmano — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:37:28 -0000

Jason,

I think you've really done a nice job at deconstructing this in terms that social media practitioners can appreciate. I think this especially nails it.

"But a social business isn’t just one which fans the flames of external social connections. It’s also one that creates a similar environment internally."

There can be no truly transformational social initiatives until change happens from within. This is we hope to achieve with social business design. Adaptation via employee, customer and business partner levels. These three areas define a businesses heartbeat.

Re: 13 Essential Social Media Lessons for B2B Marketers from the Masters

Curious why there has to be something "new" here? My main point was that B2B need to look outside their niche and after well over 10 years in the business, I still don't see this happening enough.

Re: Why Social Sharing Is Bigger Than Facebook And Twitter

davidarmano — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:03:53 -0000

Elise. Data mining is huge. It's ultimately Facebook's play. But not limited to. Initiatives such as AMEX open forum are also a data play using value as the attraction. But in the end, it's the data that companies want.
