Re: Great examples of how operations can become marketing.

This is a fantastic post, Adrian, and I blogged a while ago about the branded storytelling initiative from Nike late last year http://bitly.com/12yCLa. Similar to Apple, they did a great job sitting down with their researchers and designers to discuss the creation process http://www.nike.com/nikelab/site.html?en_US#//v...

Excellent, thoughtful post.

Re: Social Media and the Agency: Coach, QB or Cheerleader?

These are important questions to be asking, Scott, and I like how you have categorized them. I'm a big supporter of the Agency as Coach model - the client needs the leadership (especially when they're just starting out), but it's important that the client does the executing. They need to be the ones building relationships with their customers, and that is something that just can't be outsourced.

Kudos on a thoughtful post. Social media is certainly at its best when it is fostering real-world relationships. And brands that use social media well are often playing the role of facilitator - bring people together through online and offline experiences (eg Nike Plus).

I for one appreciated your diligent note-taking on Twitter - it was super-helpful to get a thorough recap of the sessions I couldn't attend at Web 2.0. That said, I'd be in favor for a Pause button on Twitter for those whose note-taking on Twitter isn't up to the same quality as yours!

Scott - I'm in the process of collecting resources on personal branding, and these will be a great addition to the lineup. http://www.socialmediaworx.com/2008/resources-o...

Recognizing when consumer-generated content is brand ambassadorship and when it's bordering on brandjacking is part of the savvy marketer's job. And while I would have liked to have seen AMC create the Twitter characters from the beginning, I'm pleased that Deep Focus was able to convince them that this was yet another indicator of just how successful the show has become.

Re: Is Social Media Useful or just Ego-Boost?

Overall, a good post Cyndy, but I'd agree with @firestar9s that some of the more exciting work in the SM space is beginning to emerge from social cause groups that are using these tools and platforms to organize folks around social good. Whether it's using networks to advocate a cause like The Girl Effect (http://www.socialmediaworx.com/2008/the-girl-ef...) or the work of the ChangeBlogger Network (http://changeblogger.ning.com/) I think these movements are well-positioned to make use of SM tools.

I know some of these Twitter Characters were created by fans of the show, so it'll be fascinating to see if/how AMC embraces their popularity.

Re: Presidential candidate debates arrive on Twitter

Kudos for trying something new, but rather than trying to shorten already ridiculously brief political sound bytes, I don't think Twitter is going to add any value to the discussion. Twitter better serves a political campaign when it comes to alerting followers about news or rallying folks for an event - not in attempting an articulate debate.

Scott - Congratulations on the big move! Excited to see the cool ideas you bring to Ford.

Love the video!

Re: What’s the University’s Role in Entrepreneurial Communities?

Good post, Nick. I think there is a lot of opportunity for universities to do more in supporting their students' startup efforts. I think Stanford's VC Club is a good example with lots of potential: http://vc.stanford.edu/index.htm

I think what comes next is the true digital business card - something that easily bridges the digital and physical space to share this great collection of information about who I am.

Re: How Can Social Technology Create Change?

Without question, one of the best case studies for how social technology can impact the world for good is www.kiva.org. A powerful mission, spectacularly executed.

Re: Is Social Media A Marketing or PR Tool

RyanMoede — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:57:36 -0000

Like the whole debate around whether or not the Tipping Point is dead (http://tinyurl.com/288roe), could it be that there is space for both marketing and PR to lay claim to their piece of the social media pie?

Re: Will AIM Compete With Facebook?

Wouldn't AOL be better served in leveraging their brand strength by developing a Facebook app to embed AIM chats in Facebook?
