Social Media

Social media is the collective of online communications channels dedicated to community-based input, interaction, content-sharing and collaboration. Websites and applications dedicated to forums, microblogging, social networking, social bookmarking, social curation, and wikis are among the different types of social media.

Google Alerts - Monitor the Web for interesting new content

From “Marketing Research” to “Marketing Information” in 2020

The continued growth in technology will result in the “digitization of everything” which will result in a “paradigm shift” in marketing research tools and techniques. And in 10 years the “leading-edge companies will address 80% of their marketing issues by ‘fishing the river’ of information.” Fishing, as in mining clicks, blogs, communities, videos, anything and anywhere people virtually connect.

Digital Literacy

“The Social Web has multiplied the voice of the customer, listening and responding quickly is more important than ever for success”

Changing ways of Communication

Essentially, digital media has changed research communication from presentation to CONVERSATION. Cranston: “This increasing emphasis on two

way communication and conversation has transformed organisational communications and is crucial to effective online knowledge sharing.”

medium shapes the message

The DFID research twitter community has over 10,000 followers. While DFID research tweets directly to its followers daily, the real power lies in the retweets.

Digital literacy… changing dimensions

Social media has altered the traditional parameters of digital literacy. Now, a communication can consist of only a few

words or just an image. Linked data and online materials mean that

communication need only begin the story; it directs the audience to wear the evidence can be found. It lets the existing conversation develop and tell

the story.
