Well I don't know about you but I don't think the Social Media Landscape is changing.... I think it's growing. What about you?

Thanks for the diagram, a couple of names I wasn't aware of there. It would have been nice if each logo linked through to the site though! Thanks anyway!

This starfish was referenced in the same breath as a broader MediaSphere that we published earlier this summer. I like the detail that you have brought to the conversation sphere. http://blog.brainstormbrand...

Robert, you are missing the emerging world of social voice apps....web/social network geeks are in the process of meeting voip/skype geeks and the result is fascinating (self-serving-link-alert): VoIP Gets Social

The Web folks know Grand Central but check out TruPhone (free voip calling integrated into handsets) or TalkPlus (call management on steroids on your cell phone) for some examples....

A little bit confusing with the mix between media and purpose.

Where would you put Enterprise 2.0 tools like www.feedback20.com?

The more you try and create this 'Utopian Collective' the higher the risk of either missing something of value or adding something irrelevant.

Why try and rationalise what in effect is already there: its called Life (personified in this case through interaction with The Internet.)

Footnote: My first thought/impression was that this was a sponsored Advert from all those 'icons' of the social collective. Bah!

That chart is staggering cluelessness. What's "social" about audio and video?

Zimbra's a web-based email and calendering client. You might as well call hotmail social if you're going to add Zimbra there.

Charts come and go? Yeah, but I sure wish Gartner's "Magic Quadrant" would go -- the more money you give, the more conferences you attend and the more consultants you hire, the more your "ability to execute" comes into focus. However, this chart is more a Rorschach inkblot test of sorts, as if it makes any sense whatsoever, then you are surely in the psychotic-delusional upper-right hand quadrant. ;)

Social bookmarking and social networking will implode upon itself, as all utopias eventually do, no matter how "exciting" at the start. The more you try to make heaven on earth, the more you end up creating hell, with nods to Karl Popper.

Jeremiah: the point being "many pipes" (or many inputs) is not enough, all have to reach a strategic objective. How can you "defend any stance" when you can't even understand, as that was basic basic logic, with a simple history lesson to boot. And "three weeks of hard core training" could be viewed as indoctrination you know. So logically explain to me how that chart makes any sense whatsoever...have fun. ;)

Those who've been doing online marketing for more than five years know these sorts of charts and graphs and pictures come and go. Whether it's they're called portals or search engines or social networks - no matter. The REAL wonder of all of this for me is the connection of *individuals*: the power of social web means the individual is the powerful one. And that is the "new" yet "old" web. Very exciting times. Very exciting!

Pretty. In addition to social bookmarking like del.icio.us, there is also the aspect of democratic "crowdsourcing" like digg (voting!), reddit and wikipedia, etc. which depend on user input in groups to generate sum values.

Oh? I agreed with you on Forrester's fake Twitter numbers, so guess I do know how to do something else, after all. ;)

stefaantje: Good point. Should have put those (and Google Reader) on the starfish.

Jeremiah: Christopher likes being a contrarian. That's cause he doesn't know how to do anything else.

Re: Social Media Starfish

stefaantje — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 15:33:46 -0000

and what about social bookmarking (del.icio.us, stumbleupon)?

Chris. what are you talking about?

White label has been a term around for a while.

You know those "generic" drugs you see in the drug store with their name on it? That's a white label drug. (meaning another brand can put their brand on top of it)

The definitive list of white label products is here:

Thanks a lot for the sharing this picture. Really helpful for 'selling' social software in enterprises.

Starfish? More like blood splatter.

you’ve got so many pipes coming in

Let's have a history lesson....

The British in the Battle of Somme (WWI for those who slept thru History) pounded the Germans with "many pipes" of artillery, 6 days worth, but nearly a 1/3 didn't go off, and the rest failed to achieve the desired results, namely taking out Germans and destroying the barbed-wire trenchwork, but after the "many pipes" bombardment, the British thought they had the upper-hand offensive and charged headlong into the worst defeat in British military history. Moral of the story: "many pipes" aren't enough, they all have to work, and they all have to achieve their strategic mission.

The Department of Transportation, calls too many inputs, gridlock. And too many "pipes", is also called "bureaucracy" and/or "middle-management".

In all honesty, this smacks of a major flustercluck. All this really does is effectively let everyone talk to everyone else. I fail to see, and not for lack of trying, how this can possibly be a good thing.

Let's take a look:

OK. Ad hell.

The privacy impications aross so many platforms, despite the so-called "open social" are astounding.

Mining of data as never seen before.

Aforementioned flustercluck.

Who thought up the term White Label Social Networks ?

What exactly is that supposed to mean?
