Good keynotes this morning regaring social media sites. With reps from LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace, Bebo and Friendster. Interesting to hear them share some views on what will work and what might not over the next while. What i liked was the way that LinkedIn seems to be the only platform at the moment with a diversified revenue model.

Success in Social Media – Those who shout or those who add value?

Interest is building in Australia around how to use Social media. Two schools of thought exist.Firstly, one where those with the loudest voices tend to set the agenda. Is this any different from the off line world?Secondly, one where those who say the most interesting things set the agenda. Again, is this any different from the off line world?The questions is, which kind of person are you, or which kind of person do you follow?I think it is good to mix it up and follow some people from each camp. That way you can learn from their experience and sort out the quality from the noise.So if there is some worth following, then lets share them and promote them.

Content vs People or are People now Content?

It is interesting to think about how we order the mass of information in our lives. From our receipts for tax, through to contacts in our email program. How do we view all this stuff?With the boom in social networking, through generic sites such as Facebook or MySpace, through to focused sites such as LinkedIn or ZaaBiz, the question now becomes about how we classify people and the content that relating with them produces. Photos are content, love songs are content, sweet emails are content… yet they are also people centric. What we need is a solution, like tagging, but better, that enables us to see people at the middle and content around them. Like a spiders web or a Digg feed, but people focused, and not just celebrity focused, but friend focused.Anyone know a solution, then let me know, or if you are up for finding the solution, then let me know.
