Actors, Thoughts and Men

Thoughts maketh a man.  Actions maketh a society

Actors are we. We enact our thoughts

Some Actors are “Revolutionary” & some “Innovative” and pull many souls. Yes, these Actors stir many souls! With their “New” found actor to break free, many souls Break free from links to inherent nature

Those links that maketh the society which is closer to Nature

Embrace change is the dream word of these souls. For souls that are lost in awe with the Actor

But they Ape the actor but forget the bond. Bonds that are ancient and time tested

Those Bonds that takes us closer to nature.

Pains to see Apes far from nature lost in Action and wanting more

Never you Ape, to give up your soul.

 If you lose nature within & outside for there won’t be apes left if actors do become ripe.

Ripe with prudence to respect Mother Nature. 

Likenomics

It was interesting to note the new terminology Likenomics coined by Rohit Bhargava. The way Rohit defines Likenomics is as below:

"New Affinity economy where the most likeable people, ideas and organizations are the ones we believe in, buy from and get inspired by"

So, he kind of gives us 5  tips to ensure that our Social Media strategy does not fail:

1. Provide value to conversations on Social Media rather than just creating buzz - Just don't start a conversation for the heck of it. Provide some value to the conversation. Best example is do not just run Quizzes / Trivias to attract people to a Banking page and make them participate.
2. Avoid creating content graveyards that requires a big team manage on a frequent basis and are real time. Have a balance of static educational content . - Yes, share tips on using a Product / Service / Info security  and help users become more Aware and better informed
3. Look at overall outcomes of Social Media like Innovation, Increase in Efficiency, Increase in Employee retention and not just sales / volume of followers or following
4. Give people what they want instead of focusing on just Marketing goals - Yes, when asking for a feedback on a product or idea do not make us fill an entire application form like I am applying for a job. And do not just think about getting Likes / Page views for a viral video. Please look at the outcome of the campaign. Volume is the worst way to measure Social media success.
5. Be prepared for people to customize brand image for sharing and accept the changes done - Let people customize the page in Social media with your brand name in it and share it with their friends. Just like what Heineken allows.

A very neat concept but I would say that it is same as the "Trust economy"  buzzword that was created by Mitch Joel but re-packaged nicely within the ambit of Social Media.

Waiting to read the book in detail once I get one.
