Social Media Landscape

February 25, 2010 at 4:11 PM Leave a comment

The folks at CMO.com have released a cheat sheet on the social media landscape, which should spark debate from “social media experts”.  I’m going to share this with my clients, as it is a solid summary of the space and captures the opportunities presented by these sites and services well.

Two things stand out in this piece:

1. Focus on relevant content.  All the Facebook ads in the world won’t drive business value if your brand/company isn’t providing the target audience with information they care about. Engagement starts with an information need; the challenge for marketers is to figure out what that need is, and how to meet it.

2. Video rules.  According to Cisco’s estimates, internet video will account for 60% of all online traffic by 2013.  It’s engaging.  It increases the time spent on sites.  It is fun to share.  Get thee a Flip Video!
