Re: Building Your Career By Trolling LinkedIn

Jeremiah Owyang — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 06:47:37 -0000

One thing I learned is never take a job that s parallel, always move up, either from responsibility, title, or salary.

Secondly, build up a repertoire of projects, continue to take on new projects, start to finish, (and blog about it)

Thirdly, Get mentor(s) and mentor others, this comes around in spades and improves everyones life

Lastly, (or at least for today) find resumes of the jobs you want to do (much how you've perused the above) and start to develop those skills by doing, reading, or asking for help.

No one is going to hand you anything in this world, it's best to be self-motivated and go out and do it.

Hope that helps! (from intern to industry analyst in 8 years!)

Re: attention all Oracle bloggers - Digging in a Habari sandpit

Jeremiah Owyang — Wed, 30 May 2007 14:25:53 -0000

Hope all is well, I wanted to let you know that LinkedIn held Lunch 2.0 last week, and had over 200 people show up, had quite a bit of great buzz. They were covered by the SF Chronicle, and there were other mainstream news groups there.

Aside from the tremendous buzz from the very viral community, they shared goodwill to the community, which ralied behind LinkedIn, it's products and most importantly it's employees.

I'm not trying to "rub it in" but I'm also offering to help. As one of the chief promoters (and former Community Manager at Hitachi) I understand and want to help.

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance, my email is jeremiah_owyang@yahoo.com

I agree, there are some powerful positive outputs to this.

Would you consider updating your post with a link to the redcross, and encouraging your readers to donate? would be great, we can actually make a difference.

Re: Facebook implements better attention measurement

Jeremiah Owyang — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 06:14:07 -0000

I think they got their terms of the measurement attributes confused, as they're really measuring Interaction, not engagement. I also think you may have confused Attention (no worries, a common oversight) too, which is 'time spent'.

Lame,

I hear you, you're right, I can be loud (my family would agree with this).

I'd love to get your feedback on a few posts that I've tagged "Web Strategy", in many ways, they are similar to analyst reports, and tell marketers "how to" do it.

http://tinyurl.com/2rtt78

I'd love to get your feedback, either in these comments, or email me direct at jeremiah_owyang@yahoo.com, let me know if your opinion is changed.

We both agree, Avinash is a fantastic technologist and evangelist, I always learn a lot from him.

Good coverage Eric. I was recently in Japan, and have some findings from Japan and Social media --esp when it comes to user and corporate adoption.

RockYou and others may have a gap when it comes to getting corporations to understand social media --and act. Despite the fact that many of the population are using it.

Re: who could speak for all Asian Americans

Jeremiah Owyang — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 06:42:56 -0000

Excellent Question, you've got my attention.

Two things come to mind: 1) we can be our own individual spokespersons, we have the tools to do this with social media, why do we have to lean on someone else?

2) If that doesn't work, and the world really wants a true reprenatitve, why not have a business leader, sports leader, or someone that transects a larger segmentation of the Asians in US.

Lastly, I'm not sure these are representative of Asian Americans --putting a religious filter (whether it be Christian, Muslim or Buddhist isn't 'representative')

Your cousin in law--- Jeremiah

Re: who could speak for all Asian Americans

Jeremiah Owyang — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 07:15:55 -0000

Humman3rror

Wow, thanks for the vote, but I stand by my conviction that each Asian American should tell their own story by doing, and using social tools.

Why have a representative that represents us? Why can't we individually represent ourselves? Gene suggests that we're stereotyped, the best way to beat that is to not have a 'representative' but to do it and change it.

Let's not focus on nominating anyone, and just self-represent ourselves. That's what I'm going to do.

Jeremiah Owyang — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:52:44 -0000

Thanks Brian

I'm familiar with the sources, (cept the demographics one is new) but it's important to note that Google insight tracks mentions of search terms. That's not truly indicative of activity within the site, it just reflects who is looking for keywords, so this data could be interpreted in a number of ways.

I agree that what you've done is helpful (I linked to it from my blog) and since there isn't a strong third party site that can give true web analytics across all websites accurately, I appreciate your work. thanks

Oh and part 2, I completely agree with you, brainstorming, determining objectives should be part of the strategy phase.

You're also right that "Customer communication and feedback" should be a core part of many steps of the process, if you read the report, you'll find a case study of a company that included their community even during the early phases of the development, including creating a 'Embassy"

Great post, this is a great resource for new tools.

I believe there's a way of adding value by assembling a great group together, and letting folks opt in and join.

6) I created the Web Strategy Group, which is a collection of Web Managers for the modern website (like yourself) and it's a great place to learn and meet other folks. While initially I invited a few key folks to get it kick started, one of the ways it continues to grow is by the high quality conversations in the discussion forum.

Perhaps this technique could be consider yet a 6th way of getting folks to volunteer to join --they get value and add it!

Re: Jeremiah Owyang’s Anti Spec Contest

Jeremiah Owyang — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 23:37:24 -0000

I actually didn't know that email went out to the community. I asked Ross not to treat me any differently than anyone else, as I was experimenting with the tool. I did find quite a few weaknesses with spec work and crowdspring that I'll be bringing up at the panel. To start with: 1) This is no excuse for not having a design strategy. I knew what I want (and am a former UI designer) so i could get by just fine 2) Some of the submissions were sub standard, actually they were very hard to look at 3) This was time consuming for me, I spent a lot of time providing feedback to a majority of the submissions.

Andrew, I laughed out loud when I saw the graphic, but what the heck does that have to do with the issue? It would make more sense if you started to do spec work my research.

Listen, I don't mind being the digital punching bag for designers, but I'd rather focus on the reality of the situation then focus on solutions....and that's what I'm going to do. In the end, I'm going to recommend to the world's largest brands how they should approach spec work --if at all.

With that said, I have cross posted quite a bit on the Forreter interactive marketing blog, and I continue to promote our research. If we pulled my blog closer to corporate, it would likely be less effective.

We've hired quite a few Gen Y researchers, many of them come with their own blogs too --we can't expect an entire generation of 'creators' to rebrand their blog any given corporate brand, it's not feasible, doable, or cost-effective.

Hope that answers your question!

Thanks for taking this on so openly and transparently. This really answers the questions I was asking on twitter yesterday. As some of the commenters pointed out, it comes to intentions, and editorial policy. We trust you, I trust you, and as long as you're being true, then the trust continues.

Thanks Marc Meyer

That's right, I'm just trying to understand all the short term and long term impacts this has to brands like Kmart, Izea, Bloggers, and their readers.

I certainly consider Chris a friend, and continue to respect him. He's testing out new waters, and he's being very upfront about what that means.

There certainly are some rough spots that need to be well thought through so all four parties win (both short and long). I give kudos to Chris for testing it out, being open about it, and helping us learn what works and what doesn't.

I hope people take the time to read what Chris wrote in this post, and try to understand his opinion before making a judgment.

I want to make it clear I'm supportive of Chris

Yes, I did learn a lot at today's lunch. He was quick to listen (his cell is connected to him) and he was quick to respond.

We had JUST talked about this with Shel Israel on how to handle crisis a few minutes before this hit, and watching the man practice what he preached was quite amazing.

He got the word out, signaled teams to correct the issue, and addressed you all...all between and after a few pieces of sushi.

Re: The anti-RSS hype

Jeremiah Owyang — Sun, 01 Jan 2006 17:49:05 -0000

I fully believe the glass is more than half full for syndication, this is a medium that companies need to prepare for, it's really another medium.

Also, the YAHOO Syndication report (which I read and analyzed several times) shows that users use about 6 feeds, not 1-2 as stated above.

Once this triangulates with location (GPS and mobile feedreaders) we've got incredible opportunities for information accuracy. It will happen

I've put my thoughts about this (sorry to link away from your site Robert) I've been thinking and analyzing rss, it's absolutely an opportunity that needs to be planned for --it's coming.

Regardless of the content that the RSS points to (sometimes RSS is just a 'wrapper') it could include anytype of content it points to from podcasts, images, text, links, videos, or whatever's next

I describe RSS as a Medium. (like email, websites, or even a newspaper)

Re: The anti-RSS hype

Jeremiah Owyang — Sun, 01 Jan 2006 18:31:13 -0000

It will be interesting to see if users continue to use tools like bloglines, and other indexers,

I got a chance to check out the new MS Outlook, it has feeds build right in. that's another example that RSS is going mainstream.

I wonder if feedreaders will be embedded in regular desktop applications, that it will be seamless.

Robert, Shel told me to leave the following comment from this blog:

Shel:
"To include them and me more, all you have to do is call the events "Blogger Dinners," not "Geek Dinners." I suggest that if you agree with me, you should post comments wherever you please on Scoble's Blog . However, if yo choose to actually write about this burning issue, please link to me, not him."

Now I didn't post them 'wherever i please" but I did post it here.

I'm casting my vote for a dinner to be called a blog dinner. I'm not suggesting the current 'geek dinner' by renamed, but perhaps a second dinner be created for a larger businesss (and personal) audience.

Both could have entirely different audiences, as well as conversations --both would be stimulating and interesting.

Ok, I'll extend your suggestion, just for kicks!

Next time I have a problem or an issue as a consumer, I won't tell anyone, and I won't document it, as I'll just assume it's more own unique problem and forget about it.

If we all do that, every problem in the world will go away.

Ok, so I'm being a little patronizing, but you get my point. Andy was in a situation where he was powerless, he was locked out with no ability to do anything and they stopped communicating with him for a short period of time. He also runs close to 30ish websites so a lot of folks would be connected (one is a record label).

Sorry to hear of your issues with your host, the steelpixel.com guys came and made an discount on my blog. Go check that out.

Jeremiah Owyang — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 12:39:52 -0000

I swear (I witnessed the first whirlwind with great interest) this blogging argument only happens right around holidays when folks don't have anything better to do.

The last one was the week before April fools. The argument shifted away once everyone started making false claims they were going to this company and that.

Although I wasn't at the in-person naked conversations/amazon presentation, I don't have any recollection reading on the blogosphere that Shel and Scoble promised a 300% ROI. I believe the discussions were actually centered around the value of blogging, measuring ROI before implementing in a calculated Amazon environment.

Werner, I must say, you are indeed a good sport.

Another concern, apart from my post is that these third party developers (like the wordpress one) now have access to your blog, and they are not affiliated with wordpress.

What's stopping them from doing something devious? slipping in some light SEO code? or putting up a goatze?

On the other hand, when I see several of my friends using one application (and facebook is great for that) my level of trust goes up, as I see my peers using it.

Trade offs either way.

Re: Facebook: the new data black hole

Jeremiah Owyang — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 01:54:27 -0000

Mario

The wordpress app requires you to login to your wordpress account from their app. This means they know your wordpress account info.

This means they could modify your blog on wordpress (outside of Facebook)

It's a semi-closed systems, you can build on top of Facebook, but they still retain a tremendous amount of data you can't easily export. Be sure to read my post that Scoble linked to.

Robert, how many bloggers are out there in North America? (I know it's hard to track) Is it too much to suggest that a percentage of them are trying micro/mobile blogging? Not really.

There's three things that are changing me:

2) working with Charlene and other analysts is like getting an MBA program, I have to be able to defend any stance and back it by data or logic.

3) Three weeks of hard core training and refreshers are changing how I think and communicate.

Good post Tyler.

I agree, I used a pop reference to get attention on that post, being crowned the king of it? Surley an honor ;)

However, not all of my posts are "pointless, subjective studies done EVER that also include misused pop culture references." I actually do research --with data to back assertions about the strengths --and weaknesses of the medium.

Here's a list of my research reports:
http://www.forrester.com/rb/analyst/Jeremiah_Ow...

I'd hope while you pointed out that I certainly used a pop reference in a blog title, you'll also get to know the work I do that is quantitative, based on research, and accurate.

For example, take a look at the methdology used for this Wave report
http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2009/01/09/f...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A summary of the rigorous methodology:
I encourage our clients to be open and transparent about their products and services, in order to build trust with their market, so I’m holding myself to the same rigors, here’s a high level summary of the process:

-First, we vetted the 100 vendors to submit to a vendor product catalog, over 50 submitted which we used the data to pair down who were appropriate for the Wave report.
-Hands-on lab evaluations: I spent up to 6 hours with each vendor in a windowless room to evaluate their product live using common customer scenarios. I grilled the executive team, and discussed their strengths and weaknesses.
-Product demos. We asked vendors to conduct demonstrations of their products’ functionality. We used findings from these product demos to validate details of each vendor’s product capabilities.
-Customer reference calls. To validate product and vendor qualifications, Forrester also conducted reference calls with up to three of each vendor’s current customers for a total of up to 27 customer calls.
-We collected hundreds of screenshots, presentations, samples, reports and all of this information was entered in a multi-tab spreadsheet that accounts for thousands of cells, scoring, and detailed explanations which clients can use to toggle up and down specific needs as in some cases, specific feature needs may need to be highlighted over others.

It wasn't super clear from Steve Rubel's post that this was a private event. I left a response on my blog not clearly realizing that. The lines between private events and community knowledge will undoubtly be blurred as knowledge inputted to individuals
will eventually be outputted to action, whether in blogs or their day jobs.

Reducing the flow of information can work to some degree, but capping it off completely is difficult.

Re: The influencers’ paradoxes

Jeremiah Owyang — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 07:07:42 -0000

I just saw this from a link from your colleague David's blog, it didn't show up in my alerts, or trackbacks, so sorry for the delay.

You're right, the momentum early adopters is an unfair advantage, it starts a snowball like behavior that doesn't stop.

It's interesting that you categorize me as a 'guru' but but let me share a bit about me, as I think we're very similar.

Like you, I was a web marketing manager at a Hitachi Data Systems, I started with managing the boring intranet, moved to the extranet, then launched the social media program at Hitachi Data Systems from 2006-2007. I did some things right, and some things wrong, the blogs and community pieces are still up.

I started my blog during the launch of the Hitachi social media program, I talked, educated, and shared all the things I was doing and what I was learning. There wasn't a lot of folks blogging about this topic back then, so I was lucky to be an early adopter.

Then, I went to the vendor side at PodTech, it ultimatly failed about a year after I left then in the end of 2007, I joined Forrester Research to focus and study on how social media helps corporations --continuing my passion.

If you get the chance to read my Forrester reports, hopefully you'll realize that beyond the paradox, there's some substance to what I'm saying backed up by research and data.

What's really important is that as an analyst I listen to folks who are on the ground level working on the campaigns and programs day in and out. I'm checking out your other posts to do just that.

Re: Riding every single wave

Jeremiah Owyang — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 12:53:37 -0000

Esteban

You raise solid points amid this very important topic, also, since you're on the buyer side, what you say greatly matters as you're on the demand side.

Your example of an email form a friend becoming the latest word of mouth marketing effort is certainly likely to happen. (example: see the plugin sharethis.com)

I agree, advertising is clear cut, but the reason why Sears and Kmart have opted for Izea is the click through rates are significantly better (as told to me by the CEO of Izea).

Marketers want to be part of the social space, and it appears these two brands have gone for the largest impact and viral spread (blogs and twitter).

Please revisit my post and see the risks that I outlined, it's not one-sided in favor of Izea. It's pretty obvious Izea will have challenges meeting the two requirements I spelled out in my tweets: Authenticity and Sustainability.

The jist of my post is that most marketers are not going to have the same high standards as Lenovo has, and will go the cheap route, whether that is right or wrong. It's cheaper for them, they get a lot of traffic, word of mouth spread, and if anyone loses credibility it's likely to be the bloggers more than the brands.

Regarding the analyst comments, first of all, thanks for respecting our work. Let's e clear, whoever told you analyst know 'everything' is lying. You're right, analysts don't see the full picture as they're not in the 'trenches', although most come from practice, and many return to practice.

Regarding folks who reanalyze reports insights, there's actually folks making money off our products:
1) I see our research data, slides, and methodologies (like the POST process) appear in slides from consultants, they're certainly benefiting from it when we make it public.
2) We always strive to credit our sources and examples (vendors, clients, bloggers, consultants), and in many cases, that results in leads for them --and should generate revenues.
3) My primary goal as an analyst is to help decision makers at corporations. My reports are written in a way to help the interactive marketer --they should profit.

I never really understood the analyst role till I got into it 14 months ago and I used to have the same criticisms. We work very hard to get answers for our clients, our research, customer surveys, analysis, costs money, and our reports are products. If you want to know more, I'm happy to talk to you on the phone about the role.

Lastly, your comments about being a 'guru' stuck with me, I'm starting to detest it, while I give away a lot of information on my blog for free, a great deal of my hard work will never be seen there. A few months ago, David called me out in a blog post some time ago for 'baby talk' but he has to remember I can only give so much away in public --I do what I can.

Thanks again Esteban, good insights, thanks for continuing the discussion with me, I'm listening.

Re: Riding every single wave

Jeremiah Owyang — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:45:32 -0000

Esteban

You drive a good conversation, we'd be in a coffee shop for hours I tell ya.

I'd love to respond to your unordered thoughts:

a. Agreed whole heartedly, we'll always see the community shift mediums/locations/preferences and brands follow. (savvy brands lead of course)

b. I've detailed this in a blog post, I only use the community a portion of my research. In fact, not as much as you may think. The thing is, you only see what I do in public, not what I do in the office. For example, I have good ol fashioned data surveys in the field and am doing interview calls today with people like you (web marketing managers).

For what it's worth, my CEO encourages fellow analyst to model my social research model as an addition (not replacement) to our methodology.

There are benefits and downsides to social research, please read this:

http://snipurl.com/8p82y

c. Agreed, analysts have a lot to learn and improve on. You should give specific feedback when you can. I ask my clients as often as I can remember to give me raw and honest feedback. Sometimes it really really hurts but I can try to improve.

d. Good reminder, I'll keep that perspective.

e. It's really amazing Esteban, when one gets passionate about something and puts their WHOLE life into (and achieves something) when they reach it --they get dinged for it. It used to be hard to take, but now I realize it's part of the game.

f. Good point, Kmart and Sears are brands that don't have prestige status. I'm doing research right now and talking to Wal-Mart and the 11 mommy bloggers who are NOT paid but achieving similar results.

I hope you took the time to read my post, I was trying to show the benefits and risks, not endorse the model fully (as it likely can't overcome the risks I laid out)

You may not realize it, but I'm actually writing for you. Yeah you Esteban, the web strategy blog (and my mission) is to help web decision makers at corporations.

You may not like some of the things I do, so keep on giving me feedback and challenging me, I'm listening and responding.
