By Howard Rheingold: The new power of collaboration

    What is collaboration?  I think it means every members are working together to achieve a goal. Therefore, every role will does collaboration play in working with others and solving problems. Top to the CEO or governor, down to the worker or producer. This is a very deep subject that could go of in plenty of directions of discussion. However, many times it's hard to show to all parts involved in a relationships what the common benefits are and convince them to cooperate.
    We depend on a symbiotic relationship with others around us in order for us to prosper while at the same time always attempting to move beyond our competition. We depend on the symbiotic relationship with our competition to move beyond our competition. One of the greatest ability humans have is cooperation.
    The recent improvement in technology has provided the world with high speed internet, wireless connection, and web-based collaboration tools like blogs, and wikis, and has as such created a "mass collaboration." People from all over the world are efficiently able to communicate and share ideas through the internet, or even conferences, without any geographical barriers.People from all over the world are efficiently able to communicate and share ideas through the internet, or even conferences, without any geographical barriers.

Two videos are relate my topic today!

1: http://www.junta42.com/resources/what-is-content-marketing.aspx

2: http://www.slideshare.net/juntajoe/10-social-media-tips-social-media-starts-with-a-content-strategy

What is content marketing? Content Marketing means creating and freely sharing informative content as a means of converting prospects into customers and customers into repeat buyers. The first video show a perfect definition about CONTENT MARKETING --- Attract and Retain Customers. 


And why it is so important to organizations or companies? Customer bring the profit to company. Therefore for every companies, the most important factor is the customers, attracting and keeping customers is becoming increasingly important. Compared to other carriers in the network, content marketing can be rendered in various media of animation, text, video, sound, etc., more attractive to the target customers. 




Some key takeaways from the presentation:


1. The key to social media is understanding that no one cares about you.  They care about themselves. If you deliver consistent, valuable information to your customers (or followers in this case), they will care because you made it about them.  Most brands get this wrong.


2. That means that publishing, and developing a content strategy that revolves around your customers' informational needs, comes first. Without content, using social media as a distribution mechanism and conversation starter is pretty pointless.


3. What's your secret sauce?  Find the place where your customers' informational needs intersects with your niche expertise. You can build a strategy on that.

I love this video so much! It is interesting and get my attention.


    After watching this video you realize that maybe there is a good use to Social Media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Groupon, and others than simply promoting your company or posting the intimate details of your everyday life with the world. This video provide a very fun and unique perspective into social media that I find myself overlooking all the time.
    Its a good time to stop and think about other clever ways like this that you could use to promote your business via social networking, maybe create a few campaigns around valentines day that covers something similar in this video, or begin to think up creative ways to promote your business for next winter during Christmas, its never too early to get out there and test your ideas and see what works and what doesn’t.
    On the other hand, this video shows another funny phenomenon in our new generation. What is real social mean? Social Media Revolution has changed our life. We live in the age of Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Google – strong forces which guide the way we behave, work, have fun and live our lives everyday. Erik Qualman from Socialnomics has a deep understanding of this social media change and has created some amazing videos which highlight the ongoing social media revolution.

Since so many people are playing their smart phone rather than talking with each other during the party, now in China, there is a new way to prevent it happen and start to become popular. We called it "DieDie Le", which means before start the party, people should put their phone together, who tough the phone first, who will pay for the bill.
