Knowledge technology and the web has changed the competitive nature of business, and a new model of competition is developing and will develop.

Initial Reflections on The Hyperlinked Library MOOC and the Badges I Have Acq... - 0 views

  •  
    Reactions to badges for the hyperlinked library MOOC by Brian Kelly. He found all the badges he was awarded for various tasks: join a tribe; send a friendship request, accept a friendship request, update his MOOC avatar, plus, another badge just for receiving 5 badges. He found all this badge awarding for these simple tasks "cheesy" and that the system was patronizing him. However, he does acknowledge that it may motivate others. He also brought up the issue of cultural diversity. This MOOC has participants from all over the world. How will they find badges?

    Article on use of Emoji and what they communicate: "Sure, it might sound a bit odd that a new, long-distance relationship could fizzle because a tiny icon was misused, yet these types of messaging miscommunications happen often (though perhaps not quite as comically). The emoji icons can be baffling to the American adults who, whether they realize it or not, are taking their social cues from Japanese teenagers."

How Social Media Moves Consumers From 'Sharing' To 'Purchase' - Forbes - 0 views

  •  
    Vision Critical's recently published study, From Social to Sale provides answers to exactly how a company's social media strategy could be tailed to drive sales. The study evaluated social media purchasing against participation in Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.
  •  
    Top Findings: About 40% of social media users have purchased an item after sharing or "favoriting" it on these sites. (The company uses "Shared or Favorited" to mean pinned/repinned/liked on Pinterest; shared/liked/commented on Facebook; tweeted/retweeted or favorite on Twitter.) Facebook is the network most likely to drive customers to purchase. Social media drives not just online purchasing, but in-store purchasing as well - and at about equal rates.
