social media

Here’s an interesting slideshow from Above and Beyond KM where he takes a look at how organisations can and should adopt social media technologies. It provides an overview of types of social media platforms and the solutions they offer to organisations.  It is meant to be targetting legal people, but works as a good overview of enterprise 2.0 social technologies for all.

Adding in QR codes for you social networks on Snappr

Snappr is a service that allows you to create 2D QR codes. Seems quite cool – but Im still trying to figure out exact uses for it. On Snappr you can create your own QR code linked to say for example your social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter etc.. you can also add in codes for text messages (160 Chars), contact details, websites addresses (wahtever you want really), as well as Music files and images. So all the information is encoded in the QR code. Im presuming you need a reader of some sort to interpret the image. There seems to be a movement towards embedding these codes on bags, fashion, public places. Its interesting anyway. Go check it out and comment back with any updates. Id be very interested to hear what people know and have used them for. I saw an article in Mashable by Dana Oshiro Have a read of it, it proposes 5 uses for the Qr code.

The image below is a QR code for my Twitter link

Below is embedded a report drawn up by Peter Kim who is a former Forrester researcher on social media with a set of predictions for 2009. In it he discusses the coming trends and forecasts with some of the well known voices on the social media circuit, such as Chris Brogan, Jeremiah Owyang, Charlene Li and whole raft of others.

In Peter’s Blog you can get a summary of what some of these say.

The following article is a second installment to the initial “superlist of social media”  article. Some interesting videos and the most recent Motrin Moms ad is played which caused a furore with Mums in the States. Have a look through. There’s certainly some resources here that are worth putting in the RSS reader to follow.
