<p>Just got back into town from attending <strong><a href="http://www.ad-tech.com/ny/" title="AdTech" target="_blank">Adtech</a></strong> in New York and <strong><a href="http://live.newteevee.com/" title="NewTeeVee" target="_blank">NewTeeVee</a></strong><br />
in San Francisco. Both were great events. This is my third Adtech  (first time in New York) and I always find it to be very informative for digital marketers. There were a lot more ad agency types in the audience than the Adtech events in San Francisco, and as such, many of the discussions centered around the impact user generated content, mashups and customer ownership of the brand is having on ad agencies who are beginning to feel the pinch, not unlike music execs. It was pretty clear  that agencies are starting to fear their hefty fees for delivering creativity that doesn't deliver a whole lot of sales is in jeopardy as more customers opt to filter out traditional advertising in favor of user generated material passed on by friends. I strongly believe agencies who can't find a way to adapt will be gone in short order. This is a cultural shift they can't fight and possibly win. Just like music moguls trying to sue their customers for downloading and distributing music for free online. Can't think of a better way to piss off your audience. Even if these guys can't get with the program, there will be a lot of new agencies and music labels pop up with a business model that embraces what's happening online. It's already happening. And what can I say about New York... other than <em>I think I'm in love.</em> My first time in this unbelievable city and will definitely be back for a personal trip. Wow, my kind of town and judging by the number of people packing the streets, obviously I'm not the only one. The conference was a couple of blocks away from the <a href="http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/" title="Late Show with David Letterman" target="_blank">Late Show with David Letterman</a> building. My colleague Jose and I slipped into the <a href="http://www.hello-deli.com/" title="Hello Deli" target="_blank">Hello Deli</a> to grab a sandwich and were greeted by <a href="http://www.hello-deli.com/" title="Rupert Gee" target="_blank">Rupert Jee</a>. Letterman fans know he is. As we waited in line, Letterman himself stepped out from the backdoor of the building just a few steps behind us and slipped into a car. Very cool. And one of the nights, Jose got caught up in the filming of an episode of <a href="http://www.nbc.com/Law_&#38;_Order:_Criminal_Intent/" title="Law and Order" target="_blank">Law and Order</a> in Time Square and got his picture taken with <a href="http://www.nbc.com/Law_&#38;_Order:_Criminal_Intent/bios/donofrio.shtml" title="Vincent D'Onofrio" target="_blank">Vincent D'Onofrio</a> (Detective Robert Goren), a favorite TV actor of mine.</p>

<p><a href="http://gigaom.com/author/om/" title="Om Malik" target="_blank">Om Malik's</a> NewTeeVee conference was a one-day event packed full of the who's-who in the web 2.0 space. I REALLY enjoyed this event. Got a chance to connect with <a href="http://photomatt.net/about/" title="Matt" target="_blank">Matt</a> and <a href="http://barry.wordpress.com/" title="Barry" target="_blank">Barry</a> of Wordpress who are about to embark on <a href="http://barry.wordpress.com/2007/11/16/road-trip-to-texas/" title="insane road trip" target="_blank">an insane road trip</a> from San Francisco, CA to San Antonio, TX. Good luck guys! Had a chance to also meet <a href="http://bigmarketing.wordpress.com/2007/02/09/cool-millions-for-youtube-founders/" title="Steve Chen" target="_blank">Steve Chen</a>, founder of <a href="http://bigmarketing.wordpress.com/2007/02/09/cool-millions-for-youtube-founders/" title="YouTube" target="_blank">YouTube</a> who mused about <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh0GubyPV1I" title="Oprah" target="_blank">his appearance on Oprah</a> last week and hanging out in the green room with actor Patrick Swayze. I think he still find all the attention a little overwhelming. Steve hosted <a href="http://bigmarketing.wordpress.com/2007/02/09/cool-millions-for-youtube-founders/" title="Steve Chen" target="_blank">YouTube</a> at ServerBeach from the beginning, so we were lucky to get a first-hand look at their extraordinary growth. We plan on sending him the very first server he used to host YouTube. After speaking with him, I get the sense he'll proudly place it on his mantle at home. Om, thanks for putting together a first-class event in a great facility. I'm looking forward to our partnership with the <a href="http://gigaom.com" title="GigaOm" target="_blank">GigaOm network</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em><span style="color:#333333;font-family:'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';">To quote Tiger Woods at his first news conference upon turning pro: “Well, hello world!”</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="color:#333333;font-family:'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';"></span></em></strong><span style="color:#333333;font-family:'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';">World is an understatement. Hello <strong>Digtial Social Media Universe</strong>! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Terence Thomas.<strong><em> </em></strong>I'm the Interactive Marketing Manager for a company named BIA Information Network, based in Chantilly, VA, and have been assisting companies in marketing our Branded Desktop Apps (BDA) to a company's audience. Check out <a href="http://www.activeaccess.com/" title="http://www.activeaccess.com/"><font color="#800080">http://www.activeaccess.com</font></a> for more info about our BDA.</span><span style="color:#333333;font-family:'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';"></span><span style="color:#333333;font-family:'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';">I started this blog to help keep our audience of BDA users engaged with our app, but really because I thought it would be fun informing our clients of the cool things their apps can do via a blog. This is much cooler than some e-mail, though I haven’t totally abandoned that medium as a way to communicate with clients altogether. </span><span style="color:#333333;font-family:'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';">Anyway, I was just chosen to sit on a panel at the upcoming Ad-Tech Interactive marketing conference taking place in NYC next week. Check it out at: <a href="http://www.ad-tech.com/">http://www.ad-tech.com</a>. I’ll be talking about Word of Mouth (WOM) lessons. The moderator for this session, Rohit Bhargava, VP of Interactive Marketing at Ogilvy Worldwide (<a href="http://www.ogilvy.com/">http://www.ogilvy.com</a>), was looking for some new blood to join his panel, so he posted a contest on his blog (<a href="http://rohitbhargava.typepad.com/" title="http://rohitbhargava.typepad.com/">http://rohitbhargava.typepad.com</a>) and said whoever could come up with the best angleor best lesson learned re: WOM, he’d choose them to join the panel. So I submitted my submission at the 11<sup>th</sup> hour, yada, yada, yada, I’m reppin’ BIA on the panel. Read the panel description and if you’re in the area, come check us out: </span><span style="color:#333333;font-family:'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';">W</span><strong><em><span style="color:#333333;font-family:'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';">ednesday, november 7, 11:00am - 12:00pm</span></em></strong><span style="color:#333333;font-family:'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';"><br />

<em>No one creates a "viral" video. As much as any marketing team wants to go into a campaign with the goal of having it take off and get discussed all over the Internet, the real aim is to create something talkable. Once enough people talk about it, you go viral...but that is an outcome, not the initial goal. In this session, we've gathered individuals who know all about going viral—both on purpose and by accident. Each will share tips on what it takes to go viral, and whether doing so should be your aim. If you want to know how to avoid getting ignored, create something worth talking about and understand whether a science exists for taking something viral, this panel has the answers.</em></span></p>

<p>In my opinion as a beginner in the new world of marketing; it is extremely important to push your way into each and every event/conference having to do with marketing.  Because the industry changes within seconds, the only way to stay up to date is to meet and correspond with people in the know.</p>

<p>Any young marketer can go to school and get a BA in marketing, but without following up education with these conferences, your marketing tactics are yesterdays news.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, I was pondering around <a href="http://newyork.craigslist.org/search/jjj?query=facebook" target="_blank">Craigslist's job postings</a> to research requirements for  the Internet Marketers position of various companies.  9/10 of them did NOT require a BA Degree.  Instead all positions wanted to see proof of accounts on<a href="http://www.facebook.com"> Facebook </a>(also proof that you have created promotional groups within!), <a href="http://www.del.icio.us" target="_blank">Del.icio.us</a>, <a href="http://www.reddit.com">Reddit</a>,<a href="http://www.sphinn.com" target="_blank"> Sphinn</a>, etc.  On top of those requirements, it was mandatory to e-mail the possible employer your blog in which you post about Web 2.0. And of course it is easy to apply to jobs by sending a link to your <a href="http://www.linkedin.com" target="_blank">Linkedin.</a></p>
<p>It was only about 8 months ago that I started looking for a new job in the marketing field, and these tools were not as visible or easy to use to get desirable jobs.   Almost makes me wish I started the job search later on... but everything happens for a reason.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i.cnn.net/money/2007/05/24/technology/fastforward_facebook.fortune/mark_zuckerberg.03.jpg" align="right" height="165" width="220" /><img src="http://www.directtraffic.org/Images/18083066/Microsoft_takes_search_market_share_from_Yahoo_and_Ask_but_not_Google_large.jpg" align="right" height="162" width="162" />As everyone knows by now, <a href="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/6420AP_WA_Facebook_Microsoft_Analyst.html" target="_blank">Microsoft paid $240 million for less than 2 percent of the online social networking site. </a></p>
<p align="left">Of course many were rooting for <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a> to take a piece of the ever growing <a href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a> monster. Many people argued that the philosophy of <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a> &#38; <a href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank">Facebook</a> just meshed well.</p>
<p> For Microsoft obviously this is perfect.  Google dominates mostly all of the ad space we are staring at for 10 hours a day. This will allow for Microsoft to take a nice chunk of this market.  And with Facebook's 50 million daily users, it is a wonderful place to sell ad space.</p>
<p>But here is what I am wondering:</p>
<p><font color="#008000"><strong>What does it feel like to be Mark Zuckerberg? </strong></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">He is a 23 year old, speckled face, Jewish boy from New York who just happened to create a software that would rate his friends, making him the CEO of Facebook. </font></p>
<p>But is he lucky? or genius?</p>
<p>The billionaire is seen only in <a href="http://mr6.cc/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/work113.jpg" target="_blank">Adidas flip flops</a> ... in ever single picture taken of him.  Surely he can afford better flip flops.</p>
<p>But really how does it feel knowing that you have created something that has changed the world?</p>
<p>...Lucky.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/08/valleyboys/image/bp311712.jpg" align="right" height="223" width="279" /><a href="http://www.news.com/8301-13577_3-9803416-36.html" target="_blank">The official news from CNET states</a>, "Facebook has invited some of its closest advertisers to an event on November 6 in New York," a statement from the company read. "As part of it, Facebook executives will discuss new approaches for advertising online. We are not sharing any further details."</p>
<p>This refers to Ad:Tech at the NYC Hilton, and guess who just received her press pass?!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.nerfbat.com/images/portal.jpg" height="151" width="165" /></p>
<p><strong>Portal traffic fosters the perfect environment for ad hoc communities. </strong></p>
<p>This morning I was watching <a href="http://www.cnn.com">CNN'</a>s coverage on the wild fires in California and throughout the segment they kept referencing the <a href="http://www.cnn.com/exchange/ireports/topics/forms/breaking.news.html">I-Reports</a> coming in from people caught in the fires, family members, and people that just want to lend a hand.  At first I was impressed by the integrated citizen journalism feature on <a href="http://www.cnn.com">CNN.com</a> and the content crossover from digital to broadcast.  <strong>However, the truly innovative aspect was the ad hoc community that emerged in a blink of an eye.  </strong></p>
<p>When marketers talk about online communities many times they are referring to robust communities built around various topics that they can nurture over a period of time and build a base of people to target messages toward.  There is a long term ROI built into this model as considerable time and money is spent to build these communities.  However, when dealing with time sensitive scenarios, such as major catastrophes, people find ways to communicate with each other, share experiences, console each other, and provide aide by building ad hoc online communities.</p>
<p>This is where news portals still hold a great deal of power.  Ad hoc communities primarily emerge for the purpose of information dissemination; thus, news portals are the perfect environment to foster such communities.    There are two important factors that give portals power:</p>
<p><strong>1. Branding:</strong></p>
<p>In times of crisis people will be drawn to trusted news sources, like <a href="http://www.cnn.com">CNN</a>, and by integrating a tool for contribution and communication into the articles people are more likely to contribute.</p>
<p><strong>2. Traffic:  </strong></p>
<p>The shear volume of traffic means there are more contributors, which increases utility to other readers.  In addition, although it may spike for explosive stories,  the traffic is more or less consistent, thus little effort needs to be invested in developing the critical mass necessary for a community to be a valuable information source.</p>
<p><strong>So how can marketers harness ad hoc networks?</strong></p>
<p>Ad hoc networks need to be low involvement and facilitate information exchange.  As they are short lived and focus on time sensitive events, ad hoc communities could be a great way to extend the reach and increase the value of content.  For example imagine if <a href="http://www.ad-tech.com/">Ad-Tech </a>created an ad hoc community around one of its tracks and people throughout the day could contribute comments, post questions, brief points from a presentations, and aggregate relevant blog posts.  This would build greater utility into the content itself and extend the reach and exposure.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chrisbrogan.com">Chris Brogan</a>, maybe you want to give it shot for <a href="http://podcamp.pbwiki.com/">PodCamp</a>?</p>
<p>UPDATE:</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/10/california-fire.html">Twitter being used to disseminate information about the wild fires</a>.  Platforms like <a href="http://www.twitter.com">twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.jaiku.com">jaiku</a>, <a href="http://www.pownce.com">pownce</a>, etc. are great tools for enabling ad hoc networks; however, to reach the critical mass in a limited time frame it still needs to be attached to source that is trusted and has exposure.  Thanks to Chris Brogan for bring up the <a href="http://www.jaiku.com">Jaiku</a> angle.</p>
<p>To be realistic though the audiences for these types of communication are quite limited and I'm skeptical to the stat that was <a href="http://www.beingpeterkim.com/2007/10/i-just-dont-get.html?cid=86789700#comment-86789700">recently released claiming 6% of the online pop. is on Twitter.</a></p>
<p>Now if CNN had a TXT feed that you could just input your cell # and be good to go, that would be interesting.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ecommerce in China has been slow. Some of the early players like 8848.com placed large bets that Chinese consumers would eventually take there purchases online, but so far the results have been disappointing. There are statistics available that show big numbers and high growth rates but there are a lot of different areas of ecommerce. Business to business transactions that used to be booked via fax are now booked online. There are also a lot of small transactions for things like ring tones and avatars. B2C ecommerce transactions have been slow in coming. I can suggest several contributing factors. Today the majority of Internet users are very young. More than half are under the age of 25. These people use the Internet more for entertainment, not shopping for groceries. Also, they don’t shop as much for the higher priced items anyway. They buy music, This group is also not as interested in saving time by shopping for groceries online. They pretty much have nothing BUT time. And they are generally looking for more reasons to go the mall, not looking to avoid it. There has been a lot of discussion about credit cards and debit cards. True, the uptake recently has been strong. However, even people who have cards don’t use them as much as they do outside China, and are still very hesitant to use them online. Part of this may be cultural or just a question of what people are accustomed to. However, a credit card in China still isn’t the same thing as it is elsewhere, from a security point of view. In the US, if you lose your card or someone gets the number, it’s a hassle for the user to report the fraud and get a new card issued, but the cost of the transaction is born by the card issuer. This is a cost of doing business for them. In China, the user is liable for the charges up the point when the loss of the card is reported. Even after the card is reported lost or stolen the use is responsible for charges made in the next 24 hours. The way it has been explained to me is that it could take the bank that long to cancel the card in their system.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Globalization is definitely here to stay. Always be poised to seize new opportunities as they spring. The interactive world is going more and more global. Says <strong>Rohit Bhargava</strong> of Social Media Optimization <a href="http://rohitbhargava.typepad.com/weblog/2006/08/5_rules_of_soci.html">(SMO)</a> fame: "Ad-Tech is one of the biggest shows in the interactive world and the San Francisco event is probably their flagship location...<br />
<strong>Being global is a reality</strong> - More than any other show I went to recently, Ad-tech has a global feel to it in the people that are attending from other countries, as well as the focus of several of the sessions. A colleague from OgilvyOne in China will be participating in a panel on Asia-Pacific later today which I am looking forward to attending. In conversations, people are also thinking more broadly about how tools are evolving in different countries and how social networks are growing beyond national confines." <a href="http://rohitbhargava.typepad.com/weblog">(Influential Interactive Marketing</a>)</p>

RSS, which has to this point mostly been used to retrieve information via news readers, is now <a HREF="http://avc.blogs.com/a_vc/2006/09/feed_powered_ad.html">being rolled out</a> as a back-end to advertising.    Here's an example of a badge on <a HREF="http://memeorandum.com">Memeorandum</a>, a blog conversation news site, that uses RSS to power it.   Why is this a big deal for advertisers?  Now advertisers don't have to send assets aywhere, or require anyone else to do work when changing copy.  They just change what's being pushed out through their RSS feed, and it all gets taken care of instantly on the front end.</p>
