Arrogance seems a consistent tactic in the uber-hot gamification segment. "Uber-hot" and arrogance seem to go together like hand in glove, but perhaps arrogance is a the most sustainable strategy.
Arrogance feels cheaper than the Thank You economy's endless give. This piece explores the question of if arrogance is sustainable. What do you think? Where do you come out on the Arrogance or Thank You debate. Via Martin (Marty) Smith, Ricard Lloria Delete the scoop?

![Why Brands Must Embrace Visual Social Media in 2013 [infographics] | Social Mercor | Scoop.it](/resources/img/white.gif)
Two infographics provide data and tips to explain why brands must leverage visual social media in 2013 to stay relevant and grow.
Today, the marketing world is still hot on the social media marketing trail, but the trail has diverged. There are different paths with cheerleaders along the way no matter which path a marketer follows.
Ideally, marketers should find the path down the middle that marries all of the elements of social media marketing, but most are not there yet. Many of today’s marketers are still choosing a single path to focus on or jumping back and forth. For example, those paths include the data and metrics focus, the storytelling focus, the visual focus, and more. This article hones in on the visual focus with the help of two great infographics that visually share the data and tell the story of visual storytelling... Via Lauren Moss

Leerzame infografiek over het gedrag van consumenten online en hoe (klein - middelgroot - groot) bedrijven daar mee omgaan. Het managen van social media is kennelijk nog steeds een kwestie. Meest opvallende stijger is Instagram, dat door het mobiel delen van foto's deel uitmaakt van de grote visualisering van het web. Hoewel het moeilijk te geloven is met een upload volume van, naar verluidt, 72 uur video per minuut, las ik ook voorspellingen dat video dit jaar nog 'groter' gaat worden. Onderaan staan trouwens de links naar een aantal goede bronnen voor dit soort info

Sallee design shows how well words and design can work together to tell as story. Design your words effectively to guide your visitors' line of sight and draw them in. Invite them to listen to your story and to enter your site.
I like this concise and easy-to-read article about various storytelling elements you can incorporate into your website for greater connection and impact with customers/prospects.
In addition to words and images, the author mentions mascots and personality. Then there's parallax scrolling and interactivity. These later two might break a small business' budget but they are still good to know about.
Enjoy playing with these ideas and upgrading your website!

I asked Letitia to tell me about her work, which she does in the first part of the video. I then asked her to tell me a story about the difference Canine Colors has made to a client. She responded by telling me the story in the second part of the video. Notice the difference in the two presentations. Via Karen Dietz

Thanks for sharing Karen. Stories do make all the difference. They make the information come alive in that the listener can see themselves getting benefits. And in this case, the canines benefit too.

This article is from Mashable and infographic created by Nowsourcing. I chose this piece because it's a continuation of the last scoops I've posted recently about turn data into something businesses can understand and utilize. Here are some highlights:.
We are all experiencing too much information and unable to process it in a way that is useful for our business needs **"The use of infographics helps to break down data visually, helping viewers make sense of complex information" **What's behind the science behind an infograpic's success? Allow an infographic to explain **An infographic has the potential to reach up to 15 million people The infographic in this piece shows you **How infographics impact social networks **The difference between traditional posts vs. infographic posts and much more.......

Here is a niftly how-to article on creating Personas by Dayna Rothman in order to target your marketing efforts and be more successful. What is the connection to storytelling? Well.....Personas are not stories. But they are the characters for your stories. Personas are the research you do to create compelling characters -- for your stories. They are who your stories are about, and who they are targeted to. Personas clearly help you identify your audience. Effective storytelling relies on knowing who your audience is in order for the stories to connect with them. At some point in your business, creating Personas is both helpful and an important activity to do. I like the suggestions in this article for how to do the research to create your Personas, the number to build (no more than 3 please), and the #1 mistake people make when generating their Personas. This article is not very long, but it does have lots of good tips. What I like to do when creating Personas, or updating mine, is to create a collage for each. It is much more fun and creates a visual record of each that my website and graphic design folks can use. Enjoy!

As The LEGO Group celebrates its 80th Birthday, we take a look back at its history with this short animated film. Find out more here, http://www.facebook.com...
Here's some Friday Fun -- the animated story of LEGO! I wish more companies -- of any size -- would do something similar.
I love LEGO and could still happily spend hours building things. Now I know the fascinating story behind it. Which makes me love those plastic bricks all the more.
This is a 15 minute video (minus the rolling credits at the end). It's a little long and it could have been told a bit better. I found the narration a bit slow and sing-songy. Sigh. So the execution could use some work.
But overlook that and it is still a great story!
