How
Transparent is your business?
How
companies need to adapt to survive the revolution
Social
media is revolutionizing the way we communicate and to my
idea it will seriously diminish privacy, personal and also
for companies. As people are slowly learning to restrain
themselves on social media sites, companies will have to
accept that in the near future all their actions will be
totally visible to the whole world, with serious consequences.

Wikileaks:
next phase in the social media revolution
Is
the whole circus around Wikileaks a hype? I don't think

have to adapt to a new world where we communicate different
and secrets will no longer exist.

Social
media ends all privacy

How
to measure the ROI of social media projects
Measuring
the ROI of a social media project is like the Holy Grail
of online marketing; everybody is searching for it but only
few have seen the light of wisdom. In principle it should
not be difficult at all to measure your ROI. You just have
to do what you have always done: plan your project well
with clear defined goals and KPI’s and then measure those
KPI’s. So, what is so difficult about it?

Does Social
media flatten the world?
The
power social media gives to each and everyone of us does give
us all equal power. Thus you would expect that we would all
become equal. |

Step
3: How to start with social media:
Be social
You
made your plan, realized it online and are working on your
promotion. Your first customers are starting to follow you.
Now you need to make sure that you do not loose them again
(a lost customer hardly ever returns) and that they are satisfied. |

Step
2: Promote your social media campaign
You
have worked out your social media strategy and created an
online presence and sit back to reap the profits. Two weeks
later you have 5 followers and you start to doubt if your
social media campaign was such a good idea. |
