… and the shared meaning they create.

What Ford Heard…

bailout money. Join me and ask others. We
can make taking bailout money so painful
others will not suck the life’s blood out of
our children and grandchildren.”

This is HARD WORK
But it will get easier…
Introducing Web 3.0
The Information PortalWeb 1.0• information exclusivity, be the first to own the content• dividing the world wide web into usable directories• everyone has their personal own little corner in the
cyberspace
The web became STATIC + LONELY
It lacked: • community• interaction• scalability
The Social PlatformWeb 2.0• focus on the power of the community to create and
validate• the power of a seemingly freer form of organization
(“tags”)• setting up “hooks” for future integration (RSS, API)
The web became NOISY + OVERWHELMING
It lacked: • personalization• true portability• meaning
We Broke Dunbar’s NumberDunbar's number is the supposed cognitive limit
to the number of individuals with whom any one person can maintain stable social relationships
There’s me
There’s myMyspace, Flickr, Yelp, YouTube, LinkedIn,Facebook, Last.fm…
And here are all my friends
And theirMyspace, Flickr, Yelp, YouTube, LinkedIn,Facebook, Last.fm…
And their friends with their content
Navigating the seas of the social web
Introducing Web 3.0What does it mean?The 3rd decade of the Web (2010–2020), when simultaneous andcomplementary technology trends will finally reach maturity:
• a network of separately siloed applications and content repositories creating more seamless interoperability between connected devices
• data anywhere anytime via broadband adoption, mobile Internet access, software-as-a-service, and cloud computing
• true data portability via open identity (OpenID), APIs and data formats
• a consistent web language via RDF, OWL, SWRL, SPARQL, etc.• intelligent agents, natural language processing, and machine
learning
Web 3.0 is The Relevant Web
Improving How We ListenSocial Monitoring 2.0• Monitoring based on keywords makes it hard to distinguish
brand conversation (“jaguar” the car vs “jaguar” the animal)• Sentiment changes based on the context (ie “lemon”)• Too much reliance on manual adjustments and
interpretation
Social Monitoring 3.0• Smarter aggregation, mapping conversation trends
• Conversation tracking beyond keywords
Better Customer Acquisition
Online Advertising 2.0• Contextual ads can be inaccurate and unsafe for brands• Behavioral ads don’t account for multiple users• Consumers trust each other more than corporations,
brands, and their advertising messages.
Online Advertising 3.0• Deliver relevant ads to the right consumers
• Make content easier to discover by interested users
Better Community Management
Community Management 2.0• Shear number of social networks with disconnected profiles
makes it difficult to find the most valuable people to connect with
• Hard to distribute the conversation beyond your blog or community
• No relevant social information when you need it most
Community Management 3.0• Finding the influencers across the social web
• Extending the conversation beyond the networks
Improving How We MeasureMeasuring Success 2.0• Limited amount that we can measure: reach, exposure,
volume of conversation• Social networks are “walled gardens” with inconsistent
metrics• No algorithms to measure that a community has been built
Measuring Success 3.0• Better sentiment analysis than “positive, neutral, negative”
• Social graph analysis, conversation connections
