Social media verse is full of some best kept secrets. YouTube is one of them. Yet when I think about cultural shifts enabled by social media, YouTube is the place that comes most vibrantly to mind. It's big, wide and deep.


In my last post I mentioned that the social media ‘verse is full of some best kept secrets. YouTube is one of them.


This Time cover from a couple of years ago (with the shiny mirrored screen) was prescient, but not quite enough… I’d cross that ‘You’ out and say ‘Us’. Hasn’t it felt that way these last couple of years? How we’ve grown a global collective consciousness?


Despite this cover, YouTube is not usually the first site that comes to mind when thinking about social media. I guess we take it a bit for granted while we wax rhapsodic about Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr and Quora. Yet when I think about cultural shifts enabled by social media, YouTube is the place that comes most vibrantly to mind. It’s big, wide and deep.

Mature. Eccentric. Probably not what you think it is.


YouTube has its Own Language

The Powerful Intersection Between Content & Community - What You Need To Know | SOCIAL MEDIA, what we think about! | Scoop.it

Not all that long ago (think 2002), people would think you were crazy when you talked about

 

**the powerful intersection of community and content. Online communities? Those died in the dot com bust.

 

Today, marketing professionals are starting to come around, but they still have a ways to go.

 

**Few people fully grasp how the interplay between content and community can change how organizations function internally and externally.

 

Previous articles in this series have addressed content, so let's now turn our attention to community.

 

Today, the role that community can play in the marketing and communications process is woefully misunderstood. Many organizations are not actively involved in community efforts, and those that are tend to focus on community for three reasons.:

 

Support: Enabling customers and advocates to support and inform each other, providing self-serve customer service, or offering support via social network monitoring (e.g., Comcast's efforts via @comcastcares)Reputation:...

Content Curation: Must Resonate, Go Viral, Engage

From socialmediatoday.com - August 29, 2011 5:14 PM

Priyanka Dalal wrote this interesting post from socialmediatoday about building a successful social media strategy.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

Campaign Objectives


"Focus on how to be social, not on how to do social" Jay Baer, Convince & Convert

 

Set a long term objective for the campaign. Social media is about the people hence, a lot of engagement, conversations, relations and interactions would be an indivisible part of the activities. These activities however would be directed by the objective! Break the long term objective into relevant short term goals to drive the campaign ahead.

 

Social Media Personality


“An image is not simply a trademark, a design, a slogan or an easily remembered picture. It is a studiously crafted personality profile of an individual, institution, corporation, product or service." ~ Daniel J. Boorstin

 

In your social media campaign every single status update and comment will build your brand personality! Rather than letting it build itself in an ad-hoc manner, you must set a social media personality, for all your activities! It will help enhance the brand image and build a rapport with fans.
