Can anything "pre-meditated" truly be called social?
Or is it an oxymoron? Social media - the art of sharing. This is nothing new, arguably social media has been with us for tens of thousands of years. The media might have changed but the reason stands. The difference today, primarily, is the web. My point is this: Social media from an individual is, by default, sharing and, therefore, justifiably comes under the correct heading "social media". It is done with intent to share and make someone else's life richer in knowledge. The individual who "receives" this information will do with it what they want. They may be influenced in a purchase, or in thought, etc but point of fact, they have had their lives enriched by content.Marketers beware - 74% of consumers are being influenced by the social web.
This is not really new information, but it does consolidate the method of the web. The firm Gartner have just released figures that suggest one fifth of the population are influencing over 74% of consumers! These "influencers" only succeed due to a particular method. Why? Because they don't use the web as a channel. They have nothing to gain from "influencing" and, therefore, apply a different method other that one who does. This, in turn, dictates method and that method can only be relevant delivery of information coupled with delivery that is social in nature i.e sharing.the way of money
