Perry Belcher’s Seven Secrets of Social Media

Posted by Jeff Kelly on January 13, 2009

(Thanks to Mike Fruchter‘s post on Louis Gray’s blog for pointing out this video)
Perry Belcher provides a very entertaining video on the etiquette of social media. Though he styles it toward individuals, the ideas are just as applicable to organizations and brands. Watch the whole video, but here is his list of seven secrets:

Be remarkable
Be fun
Be helpful
Be supportive
Be controversial
Be resourceful
Don’t be an asshole (i.e, don’t be a flogger)

If you like that one, you might also want to watch his How to Make Money with Social Media. It does not go into any monetization details, but it expands the etiquette nicely into a pattern of good marketing behavior on the social Web.

Learn to Adapt Links for May 22nd

Posted by Jeff Kelly on May 23, 2008

Social Media U: Take a Class in Social Media – ReadWriteWeb – Sarah Perez does a great job of teaching you all about social media on one page. My fav: "Lesson # 2 Know What Web 2.0 Is And How To Use It" that uses the slide show from Dean Whitney to cover much of what we do in Web 2.0 University
Blogging–It’s Good for You: Scientific American – Now if it would only do something for my carpal-tunnel ;o) From the article: "Scientists (and writers) have long known about the therapeutic benefits of writing about personal experiences, thoughts and feelings."

Learn to Adapt bookmarks for April 22nd through April 23rd

Posted by Jeff Kelly on April 23, 2008

These are my links for April 22nd through April 23rd:

Blog Learning : eLearning Technology – Tony's take on the power of blogs as a learning tool. True for established bloggers with the time/incentive to blog and who build up a network of cohorts. But for the average Joe's blogs give reflection opportunities – valuable, but not unigue to blogs.
Web 2.0 Expo Preview: Torture by Information Overload – This comes up more and more in the questions at the events I deliver. People are increasingly concerned about the productivity impacts of Web 2.0 platforms. If your employee Twitters all day, does her performance improve?
Whitepapers – Building a collaborative workplace – Anecdote lays out a series of steps for developing your organization's collaboration capability and includes a simple test of your current collaboration capability.
The Future of Technology: Total Convergence and the “Media Explosion” – Interesting bit of crystal ball gazing about how we will consume media in the future. Lots of interesting extrapolation possibilities about how we may consume knowledge and learning as well!

Learn to Adapt bookmarks for April 14th through April 15th

Posted by Jeff Kelly on April 15, 2008

These are my links for April 14th through April 15th:

WatchingTV Online – Blog I just discovered tracking the move of television to the Web. If their theme is correct, this will be a "threat to big media". No saying how the convergence game will play out, but converge we will!
The Mobile Web Was Born Only Yesterday – I agree wholeheartedly with Michael: "So I disagree that The Mobile Web is dead. For many of us it is just coming alive." Just look at the use of mobil outside the US. The future of the Web is a mobile one.
Social Aggregators Emerge To Manage Digital Lifestyles [Dion Hinchcliffe’s Web 2.0 Blog] – Dion's wonderfully brief post about the rise of social aggregation. This HAD to happen as social fatigue sets in. These will be a model for the future of managing one of our auxillary brains (our social graph(s))
