I’m going to back up a bit here today and cover social bookmarking again. During the last week I received an email from one of my team members from the thirty day challenge chastising me for leaving the team. In fact he was down rite insulting. It appears that the only thing that the other team members and myself are good for is to help him pawn his wares. He must have assumed that I would bookmark his content regardless of whether the content was good or not. Well this person has missed the boat completely. This is NOT what social bookmarking is all about and it appeared to me that he just wants to game the system. In my opinion if you game you loose.

It is hard to forget Rupert Murdoch reaction when asked whether newspaper readers were drifting off to MySpace. His reaction was: “I wish they were. They’re all going to Facebook at the moment”. While it is certain that facebook growth has a lot to do with myspace users moving inside, it can be suggested that social network users are not loyal to only one network.  According to Parks Associates online surveys “40% percent of MySpace users keep profiles on other social networking sites such as Friendster and Facebook. Loyalty among the smaller social networking sites is even lower, with more than 50% of all users actively maintaining multiple profiles” (results were gathered by 2 online surveys: survey of 1,000 heads-of-Internet households in the U.S., where 402 social networking users were identified and a second survey of 2,000 Internet users in the U.S. age 13 and up where 475 myspace users were identified).

In my endeavors across the net to find great social site that you can use to promote yourself I see many users that do not use tags properly. Normally I see only a handful of tags that a user has placed to describe the content the he or she is trying to get noticed.

For those of you who don’t know what tags are, basically they are keywords and phrases that best describe the content you are publishing. Tags are a way of teaching the web how to categories your information and if used correctly will accurately help in describing your website content.

Truemors (Guy Kawasaki’s new initiative), as well as twitter present a clear cut between SMS short style and the typical long style blogs (in the Technorati Top 100 – the vast majority of posts were found to be 100 - 500 words).
The phenomenon of blogs writing is somewhat surprising taking into account the instant world with information overload we live in.
It seems more natural today to gain influence and “Increased Recognition” through well written short messages which hold valuable information. That will be an expertise – to best capture an idea in only few words.

It’s interesting to watch the hype around Web 2.0 increasingly crystallize from a general perception of marketing mirage and investor snake oil to the many valuable concepts that are actually represented by the term.  One of the best examples of this is Jason Fried’s fascinating new survey of 500 random Basecamp users, asking them what they think Web 2.0 is.  A mere 13% had never heard of it and some of the answers are not only extremely good but the overall depth of knowledge is impressive.  Perhaps it’s just the quality of 37signals users, but I suspect 500 people represents a reasonably broad sample of online people.  In fact, the survey itself is pretty much Web 2.0 collective intelligence in action, if fairly unstructured.

Our next stop is TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington and his excellent new 24 minute Web 2.0 documentary that asks very astute questions about what really seems to be changing on the Web (and sure, Web 2.0 represents networked applications based on architectures of participation, but we’ve had those before; it’s the way we’ve all started to use the Web for forming personal relationships and sharing our content, right?)  In any case, Mike does a great job asking the leaders of Web 2.0 companies about business models, user generated content, and much more.



And speaking of business models, Google itself is muscling in and both skimming off and monetizing the now-galactic presence of tens of millions of Web 2.0 users in MySpace, YouTube, and Digg.  This starts to point to some overarching strategies for making Web 2.0 business models successful that we’ll explore in a moment.

For those who haven’t been tracking it, The Long Tail essentially describes the mass servicing of micromarkets, which is primarily made possible, even cost effective, by the delivery system of the Web itself.  This is what the subtitle of the book puts another way as Why The Future of Business is Selling Less of More.  And it’s not some obscure buzzword, I’ve found The Long Tail to be an indispensable short hand in describing certain concepts and trends we see emerging in business and the Web these days.  For example, I’ve described Amazon’s innovative Mechanical Turk as a yet another one of their brilliant “long tail” plays.  So too how The Long Tail of enterprise software demand is finally being tapped using Web 2.0 technologies to cost effectively serve previously underserved portions of the enterprise which couldn’t previously justify the the expense, most notably in articles on ZDNet and here.
