Social media is something that is created or happens.

Social media happens any time people gather online, using a common tool, to share information in a permanent form.

Social media is about people and relationships.

What are collaborative tools?

Don’t worry, no one expects you to use everything available.

Just use the same tools as your friends, colleagues and clients.

Delta Goodrem is NOT A True Brand Ambassador

• Kirk: "While you can keep your credibility doing endorsements (Chanel, L'Oreal) ... So Good? Sunsilk? Seriously??? Delta you are so much better than that! In my opinion it's starting to make Delta seem a little tacky and she's far from it.“

• Karly: "The big difference between now and looking at 'old Delta' - she had a passion and strong spark for her creativity and music, now it seems like the glitz and glam ... the celeb world is the reason for (her) being in the public eye."

Wondering How to Get Started? Tap into New Resources

Develop a strategy that harnesses the wisdom of the crowd.

Enable businesses to problem solve product solutions by linking customers and creative talent.

Innovation comes from multiple sources: customers, peers and partners and individuals within an own organization is “the crowd”.

The new Web challenges conventional assumptions that information must move from credentialed producers to

passive consumers.

“creative class” is found everywhere, from engineering to theater, biotech to education, architecture to small business.

Their choices have already had a huge economic impact.

In the future, they will determine how the workplace is organized, what companies will prosper or go bankrupt, and even which cities will thrive or wither.

Why Do People Participate?

• There are systems of value other than, or in addition to, money, that are very important to people: connecting with other people, creating an online identity, expressing oneself- and not least, garnering other people’s attention.

An example monetizing metrics.Realestate.com.au solicits reviews and ratings from it’s online community and feeds this data into myrpdata.com

Myprdata.com then sells this data to investors who are looking for metrics to compare potential properties and suburbs.

The crowd is full of specialists.

• All content should be portable – able to exist on any type of device, and shared.
