Learn about the Statusphere from Social Expert, Brian Solis

Social Media 15 May 2009

Ahh yes, the statusphere … the place where people like you and I spend the majority of our time. This is the place that determines the direction of our attention as we navigate to a multitude of different web destinations and experiences; and return informed, enlightened, distracted or possibly irritated. From a brand’s perspective, it serves as an opportunity to listen, observe, engage, empower and influence people; not an audience but real people. People like us.

The following video is of Brian Solis who presented just yesterday at the Clio Awards. Here are some key takeaways:

  • More explanation on the Statusphere
  • Brands need to inspire action and then measure it
  • Talks about Coca Cola’s Facebook engagement
  • Conversation Prism
  • It’s not just about authenticity. Brands have to be believable.

    I really liked the video. Coca Cola. What a company. I was up at The World of Coke the other day. The first year the company started in the 1880′s they sold nine drinks a day. Now they sell 18,000 per SECOND. Astounding!
