Agree on the whole. I always find these categories a little artificial: Really "Forrester-speak". :) I think the recommendations are the most interesting. I'd make a separate post out of that.
- Meryn Stol
You say it yourself: "What’s interesting isn’t this vision for the future, but what it holds in store for brands, " . I'd like these recommendations to be fleshed out with concrete first steps to take. Doesn't have to be more than links to relevant resources.
- Meryn Stol
Meryn The recommendations are fleshed out in the actual reports. Our clients (brands) have access to see them.
- Jeremiah Owyang
Hmm ok... Then I'll need to get the details elsewhere I guess. :)
- Meryn Stol
There will be a give and take between communities and brands. The thing is, Facebook doesn't have a competitive alternative that users could go to. In my report, we suggest that active communities could define specs for products, and bid MULTIPLE companies to build it.

Alp, Many of Forrester's clients are large brands who have a subscription. We're still sharing a great deal on this blog, and have given the report to bloggers to cover, so there's value to be had there.

Jeremiah (and the team), a great piece of work and, I imagine, a labour of both love and loathing at times! I have been very interested in this area as I have looked at the shift in skills to deliver social media activity changes from one of basic coding knowledge to much more human, interactive skills.

Probably correct in assuming that most online social networks will neither spawn nor solidify to the point of being considered ‘affinity groups’ with the level of cohesion, unified budgetary authority or organized implementation capability of NGOs, churches, or employee aggregations. Even in the era of social commerce. I hope I’m wrong.

Poll: Business People Say Twitter More Important Than LinkedIn - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...

Mike Coulter, abacab, Paul Roberts and 5 other people liked this
"A month-long poll conducted on business social network LinkedIn has uncovered some fascinating numbers concerning social media platforms and brand presence. The biggest surprise was that Twitter was deemed more important to brands than LinkedIn, and the poll was performed on LinkedIn. With more than 3,600 respondents so far, each well understood in terms of job titles, company size, age and gender - this is a high-quality data set worth paying attention to. The question asked was simply: "What is the most important new platform for brands to master?" Options were Twitter, Facebook, the iPhone, Digg and LinkedIn."
- Amani
from Bookmarklet
Linkedin has become more of a place where people prey on those looking for work or the key to SM fame and fortune. Sad, there was much promise there. I still use it, but find more and more people wanting to make me rich than wanting to network and share. Twitter was bound to head that way, shame Linkedin has turned into what it has.
- Mark Edwards
I disagree as well Twitter is definitely a place to learn about the characteristics of a person, but LinkedIn/Plaxo, etc are where to learn about their qualifications. Granted...unless you do a background check on that person, you still won't know how true they are.
- clarke thomas
This result is a no brainer. Brands talk to their customers on Twitter

President Barack Obama "meets" with speechwriter Cody Keenan, who dressed as a pirate for an Oval Office photo taken for use in the President's humorous speech to the White House Correspondents Association dinner May 9, 2009.

- Dan owns Comicsforge.com
What he says is " the current days", and this is referring to the free for everyone model. He is correct in that the free part is shutting down. Funding is running out for all the servers and people who run them at companies that don't have revenue. End of this year, early next. Soon, you won't be able to read those AP or NYT reprints without paying for it in one way or another. They are already in talks to add charges onto your ISP monthly rates. Like cable. :) So, somewhat accurate.
- Cole Jolley
Cole, I don't know you, so my apologies if you're in a position to know, but it seems to me that if you're going to make a bold statement like that, you should probably support it somehow.
- Mr. Gunn
sorry, I'll just go back to the life scientists room. Pretend I never said anything. ;-)
- Mr. Gunn
I've never been known to shy away from a chance to speculate, so here's another: either Cole's speculation will turn out wrong, or AP and NYT will go completely out of business. You decide.
- Anthony Citrano
from BuddyFeed
The internet is ad supported.
- Ryan Dadey
Anthony, the two main unknowns in how that will turn out are to what degree ad spending on the internet rises when paper diminishes, and to what degree publishers can realize savings in distribution by going all-digital. A bigger piece of a smaller pie is certainly better than going hungry, and some may disagree, also better than acquiring your pastry by force/lawsuit/goverment fiat.
- Mr. Gunn
Yeah... he's the guy that bought Myspace, right?...
- Johnny
There is a typo in the title. The article says "The free internet will soon be over"
- Mel Buckpitt
If they're going to make it possible for site to charge people via their cable bill, hopefully antitrust legislation will make that a level playing field open to all websites otherwise the internet will indeed have been taken over by a cartel. That said, it's obvious that people are willing to pay for content - even news as long as the quality is high enough. The question to me is does News corp really produce that quality, or does it just control distribution channels to reduce competition?
- Robin Barooah
Murdoch himself will be over long before the Internet as we know it is over. I agree, he's a real life Montgomery Burns.

- Cole Jolley
Let him put up paywalls. The more the traditional media companies try to save their obsolete model, the more people will choose the free, open, and transparent new media models. This means every bleat like this from people like Murdock is crowing over the very ideas that hasten their demise.
- Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Absolutely, Neal. I am reminded of the record company approach to online music.
- Anthony Citrano
I'm with Cole on this one. Someone has to pay for journalism and the ad-supported model doesn't work now the bottom's fallen out of the ad market. Freemium (like Flickr) and subscription packages are the way the wind is blowing. If you don't like it there's always Ariana Huffington's fund to support investigative journalism but that's probably a bit ahead of its time for the whole market and isn't really suitable for profit-led companies like News Corp.
- Martin Bryant
I know what Cuban and the media moguls want, but I don't think they're necessarily going to get their way, because they don't really hold the reins anymore. I can't believe they actually think price-fixing industry-wide is the solution to their woes. At any rate, NPR is still doing a fine job.
- Mr. Gunn
Isn't a major problem with the newspapers the very fact that they were ad-supported? Paying directly for journalism seems like a great way to get quality journalism.
- Robin Barooah
To expand on what I said above, I reckon Murdoch will go down a route of: 'read the article and see the 3 minute video for free, watch the full 30 minute interview if you pay a dollar'. Make the micropayments easy and the content good enough and people will pay.
- Martin Bryant
"Rupert Murdoch expects to start charging for access to News Corporation's newspaper websites within a year as he strives to fix a "malfunctioning" business model." I may watch too much Democracy Now, but it seems to me that the only thing malfunctioning right now is capitalism. Color me hippie, but might it be that our current capitalist system simply isn't perfect? Perhaps we should...

- thepete
I gotta agree with thepete here - while I don't think capitalism is broken I think a lot of capitalists are, and the system is malfunctioning. The idea that businesspeople can force outdated business models on the market - and ignore fundamental realities - is absurd. Simply put, people are (for the most part) not going to pay for most of this content. A few will. Most won't. It's just...
more...
- Anthony Citrano
This seems like an obviously convenient belief to hold if you are Murdoch. I hope the US becomes the ultimate example of capitalism, and that 'real' democratic communist states are also allowed to thrive. The idea of perfection is a human conceived notion; there is no such thing as perfect, so nothing ever will be perfect.
- coldbrew
@Chris: I know I already said this, but yeah, it's like watching the record labels deal with the online music scene.. it's just so self-destructive that it's stunning.
- Anthony Citrano
He tends to change his mind on this every few years. Doesn't really matter though. While some will pay, this will just open up opportunities for the others who skip Murdoch sites.
- Mike Reynolds
Yes, we all expect to pay for online, as soon as the hard copies no longer sell. But not while we put up with popover and stayover ads.

Morgan: that is not true. For at least six months I've been telling people that it's not important how many followers you have, but that it's important to follow smart people. THAT means being choosy.
- Robert Scoble
And, better yet, watch what I've been doing on FriendFeed. I have 22,100 followers but am only following about 5,000. That's been my policy since February.
- Robert Scoble
ONLY 5000, well, that can't be an unmanageable amount of data being spewed at you.
- Phillip Stewart
Phillip: you can watch just how unmanageable it is here: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei...
- Robert Scoble
I follow those with a good "signal-to-noise" ratio.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Phillip, Scoble has clones, they all share collective consciousness. Each Scoble only needs to read about 20 connections/feeds per day. Only the 5 head clones get to attend conferences.
- Enrique Gutierrez
Phillip: but what you can't see is I have a list with fewer than 200 people on it that provide a high amount of signal to noise. If you appear on this page a LOT then you'll get on this smaller list: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... that's my page of all the things I "Like." It also proves that I manage the data being spewed at me just fine, thank you very much.
- Robert Scoble
Yeah the former just doesn't scale.
- Eric Florenzano
I love the idea of media snacking Robert and am now much more relaxed about missing things. If they're good someone will Like them, or comment, and they go back to the top.
- Nicola Quinn
But you have to create that "likes" list. It may help you find things that you have seen before, but it doesn't change the fact that when you subscribe to 5000 people's feeds you can't keep up with what your close friends are doing. They get flooded out by all the other people you are subscribed to.
- Phillip Stewart
@scoble you said some days ago: "For the past several months I've been following EVERYONE who shows up on my view. Those are participants. People who click like. People who leave comments." So is your measurement of smart people the participation degree???
- Peter Hoffmann
Phillip you are absolutely 100% TOTALLY WRONG. You really need to learn how FriendFeed works. Especially the part about lists. I always check my family and close frend's lists first.
- Robert Scoble
Peter: yes. But that is far from following everyone who follows you. Look at my numbers. 5,000 followed. 22,000 following. I'm very choosy about who I add to FriendFeed. I have an algorithm. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Peter: yes. I've found that smart people participate here. If they prove that they are not smart they earn a block. But notice that only 200 go into my top member's list. That's why FriendFeed is scalable.
- Robert Scoble
I think 5000 is much more doable in FF than twitter or FB. Hide and rooms make it possible to slice the info in different ways.
- berkay
Can I say generally, being choosy, following signal to noise, smart people...all part of the maturation of social networking is it no. Personally, I'll be culling some of people I follow too. I don't want numbers just for the look, I'm more interested in quality.
- Paul Roberts
Ah, I see, you can group the people you are subscribed to on friendfeed. I just subscribe to friends and a few interesting people, so I have not had to use that. Wouldn't that mean that you mainly ignore subscriptions that aren't in favorites/personal?

"Wouldn't that mean that you mainly ignore subscriptions that aren't in favorites/personal?" - That's my take on Groups as well, though I don't use them.

FriendFeed is a good platform to share your idea to people who a care about or interest in you。So when you update some content form other webservice，they can feedback you if this content they interest in。i agree your words about“believe in ... follow you”，but don't agree just follow 5000 people。sometimes i follow people because their certain hobby or content i interest in。touch with different people may help you explore the world better，5000 is a bad number，Robert Scoble should UP the numeber，haha!

following smart ppl is more imp. But, there seem to be patting on the back as to number of followers one has. That's so high school IMO.

- Bhavishya Kanjhan
w00t - signal to noise baby, signal to noise.... not saying that all of those people dont have something worth while to add to the conversations, just saying that we need to prioritize what (and who) is important to us within different contexts - for instance, if I didnt randomly check twitter yesterday afternoon I never would have seen your tweet about dinner - I should have seen that no matter how many people I follow, but in order to do that would have to stay on twitter all day to stay up to date

Friendfeed is the first place since using AOL over 10 years that I actually feel that I have connected with a group of online friends to discuss, share, and socialize. I honestly do not use any other social service as much as I have used FF in the last 3 months. Peeps is coo' here. Tools are as well.
- Adam Helweh
I feel the same way, Adam... minus the AOL part. This is the first place where I feel part of the community.
- Yolanda
Hell, I'm more connected with people here in the short time I've been here then with the "friends" on facebook or Myspace. And those "friends" won't even consider joining Friendfeed. The people that I'm around just don't share the same interest as me for the most part. So its good to be able to goto someplace online where I can be around others with similar interest and for the most part have intelligent conversations with.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
@Matthew Same here. Facebook is where you connect with people you know first... and then possibly people with similar interests after in most cases. Friendfeed is where you connect with people who feed you what you have an interest in. Twitter doesn't have enough conversation features to make that happen successfully.
- Adam Helweh
It is a lot harder to start and build new relationships on Twitter than it is here. Through Friendfeed a community organically developed through the threaded comments and friend-of-a-friend features.

New rule: I am abandoning the phrase "new media" in all client decks and memos. It's not new. I have replaced it with "digital media."

I'd suggest it's because "new" is scary to the enterprise. They want something that is proven and established. Good move.

@Jason inspiration. I am working on a deck.
- Steve Rubel
good. i started using digital media and online media last week in conversations and got a lot less ???-looks. new media required explanation.
- Anika
True. "New" is not only vague & ultimately meaningless, but something can only be "new" so long. "Digital" is more accurate.
- Paul Rodriguez
like that. Especially when new is no longer new.
- Joe Buhler
similarly, the BBC renamed its New Media and Technology division a while back. It is now called Future Media and Technology.

I call it @TheAntiChrist media http://noahdavidsimon.blogspot.com/2008...
- NoahDavidSimon
The only problem with this is that outside our little sphere, plenty of people still consider "media" to be old media: print, TV, radio. The Internet itself is still a scary unknown for a lot of people and companies--even very large ones--still. Start talking about microblogging or social media, and they'll think you're playing some sort of goof on them.

(I agree with dropping 'new', btw.)
- abacab
Agree with Gregory although I use "social media" as I think it is the social aspect of it that makes it different with "old media"... but in the end of the day it is "media" indeed.
- Philippe Borremans
I dropped "social" and "new media" and "2.0" - and I used to call it "digital media" back in the day (1998).

agree. 8/10 times i have to explain what i mean

I like "SM" because it sounds kinky and obnoxious at the same time
- NoahDavidSimon
honestly, it might confuse people. digital right now means that switch for TV to a lot of people.

i've been using "emerging" instead of "new" for years - folks get it
- mike "glemak" dunn
I was saying that a year ago on a CES panel. Of course, it was a "new media" type panel so it wasn't very well received.
- Russell Holliman
I do think this is in part why collectively whole industries like media, internet, etc. need to determine names for things. just one guy deciding it should be called digital media often coincides with another guy wanting to call it new media, and so on. switching things up like that makes it harder to train audiences and get them to adopt. Slower adoption makes everything harder on...

Don't you mean *online* media? TV, radio, CDs, DVDs, etc., all have *digital* forms.
- Brent Logan
I think I ditched 'new media' around 2001. Digital & Social Media almost covers the bases, but because it's really alien and unknown territory, definitions are difficult to make stick. Interactive media still has its place, but even 'emerging media' is going to be dated once somethign has emerged.

I never liked to term New Media, I have beedn using either Digital Design or Digital Media for like forever
- Bryan Thatcher
from twhirl
I had an interesting discussion with my team last week regarding the terms "digital" vs. "interactive"
- Christian
david: that is why i personally use "emerging" because once it has emerged you can call it something else, so it only refers to those forms of media that are truly emerging for their day...
- mike "glemak" dunn
steverubel i still think interactive describes the medium best just my 2 cents
- Jason Cronkhite

Digital is good, better than "social" it is more neutral and more accurate imho.
- Tom Foremski
Digital is insufficient, IMO. Most media is/can be digital, but that doesn't make it social or interactive.
- Mark Logan
from twhirl
I think "new media" could mean whatever is newest at the time.

I can "digit."

Of course you can do it w/o Twitter, but business and jobs are about relationships and networking. Twitter/FB/blogs etc. enable me to have meaningful conversations with significantly more people. It's crazy. Was thinking about it the other day. I spent the whole day in my office (working on a client deliverable), had 5 phone calls, but commented on anywhere from 50-100...

fun of course! and the craving for connectingness, sharing - same stuff i crave offline, though there are a few things like smell, feel and tangible physical stuffness that's simply wonderful. as a knowledge worker though, it makes things way more fun and enlightening. Off to go play/work.
