What’s all the Hype About?

Web 2.0 technologies have changed the internet from a presentation medium to an interactive platform. Blogging has grown to 70 million blogs and is still growing by 120,000 blogs per day! Can you believe that for Americans under the age of 35, social networking and user-generated content sites have overtaken the TV as a primary media? Visitors to Friendster and MySpace are generally people over the age of 25.

Two types of interactive social media networking have sprung up since the dawn of Web 2.0: Social Communities and Workplace Communities, both of which are proving to be very important to any and all types of businesses. A new level of interactions across suppliers, partners, and customers is emerging. So much so that companies such as Cisco, Microsoft, and IBM are designing thought leadership, product, and advertising strategies around Web 2.0 and social computing solutions.

Workplace Communities

Workplace communities help companies solve workplace-related issues such as:

• Talent management
• Productivity & efficiency
• Change management & communication
• Innovation, growth & collaboration

Workplace communities give you a better way to interact with your internal community (employees, stakeholders, & alumni). A dramatic impact is seen within workplace communities that facilitates more conversations, information sharing, communication, and transparencies with results in greater performance, tighter relationships, and better overall organizational alignment. Workplace communities also extend beyond the boundaries of the internal organization to partners, suppliers, customers, and the public.

Customer Communities

Technology has altered the way consumers behave. Consumers know what they want, want their goods yesterday, and want the best price available. Customer communities help you to use your customers, prospects, and partners to drive business results and achieve measurable value. Customer communities can enhance customer service & support, speed time to market, generate demand, and increase your reach while minimizing your product risks. Get a jump on your competition by knowing what’s hot in your markets through customer interaction.

Social Networking

By now you probably realize the marketing potential in social media networking. The interactive nature of social networking sites keeps visitors coming back, promotes ongoing consumer interest and visitor loyalty. With interest groups that you can identify to your particular industry, conduct market research, and just as with customer communities, find out just what’s hot, the latest trends, and make your business presence known.
