I was just gratified to find out I have significantly more twitter followers than my boss or colleague with only occasional parps about the higgs boson and cycling road blocks. I then googled ‘alan partridge 104 friends’ and found this. i have not enjoyed the internet this much since 1998.

Gradually its becoming apparent that the majority of people gloabally are online and its part of the fabric of their live whether 2% or 100%.

The comments and article are spot on, its not the only thing to use. One of the most im portant aspects is the ability for dialogues not monlogues. Which go forward to sharing information not shouting oout blindly.

From sharing informative authentic and generous content about your friend fans followers and supply chain. creating trust and seeing the long term goals of their networks sharing your information.

A good example below form the above article, and we have all looked now at Michaels blog:

Final Note: I am indebted to Michael Wood of Bradford for first using that Alan Partridge quote in relation to social media crowd-gathering, so thank you Michael.

Cheers

Perfect article. I run a Linkedin training course and the first thing I do is see how many contacts people have, in a nicely kinaesthetic way, then I point out that it doesn’t matter. It’s how many of those people you know and what you do with your contacts.
Nice to see a marketing chap saying the same thing!
Regards

Stephen

Never a truer word written too.

We live in an agency age that is confused. It understands the difference between getting a lot of people to walk into a showroom and look at a Rolls if they can’t afford to buy one. It knows that there is no benefit and a lot of harm in allowing chavs to wear your prestige clothing range but it forgets all these ideas when it comes to an online word.

Not only does it forget the idea – Dogs having sex? Of course they can follow us! – but it does not really know how to segment a market online to ensure they get a decent audience.

Thanks for the comment – the financial services company I was at did spend a lot on TV banking but then realised that ‘sit back’ media such as TV would be too difficult to make a success of…finance works better with ‘sit forward’ technology such as computers because of the frame of mind a user is in. Concentration rather than entertainment.
