@JayBaer I would add that usage is now probably at a tipping point from Early Adopters to Early Majority. Pew Research got a 15% (+/-2.7 ) on the question of Twitter use on a typical day. This could mean Twitter may be turning into a practical alternative to mainstream users. I've personally used it mostly to keep informed about , and connected with, my industry (online marketing), but now ma starting to feel it may become an important asset for internet marketing strategies outside the traditional dominating (mostly tech) industries there.Great stuff, I've been waiting for this report for months now.
#11, “The overwhelming majority of new Twitter users are active tweeters, driving the overall average to 76%”. This is a major shift toward mainstream in Twitter.
Great post, Charlie. I for one think the hyper-transparency created by all these social networks we live with, will inevitably weed out the snake oil salesmen. This is all too new, and the change too quick to make a dent in, as CoachSherrill calls it, centuries of collective habits. It'll take a while.
Great read, Neil. Timely too, as I'm getting ready to launch a course based on feedback from small business owners. Congratulations on your successful launch!
Not only are you incredibly smart, also very brave. It takes guts to put yourself "out there" and publicly admit to what most don't. It also makes for a powerful lesson.
I find myself in the same position you are about 1-1 services (more because of foresight than being flooded with work), but an leaning toward a membership community with a focus on internet marketing strategy, planning and execution. I'll "hold-on" to your note regarding your own experience with a community (as I carefully step into the waters)
Carefully working the business model. You can't offer better business advice than that.
Good read and video. Brainstorms are my favorite type of meeting, from the silly to the world-changing. (Thanks, Megan, for showing this in my stream...)
