What is Twitter, a Social Network or a News Media? (by KAIST) [English]

Title: What is Twitter, a Social Network or a News Media?
Type: Research Report
Author: Department of Computer Science, KAIST
Opt-in: No
Short:

Twitter, a microblogging service less than three years old, commands more than 41 million users as of July 2009 and is growing fast. Twitter users tweet about any topic within the 140-character limit and follow others to receive their tweets. The goal of this paper is to study the topological characteristics of Twitter and its power as a new medium of information sharing.

We have crawled the entire Twitter site and obtained 41.7 million user profiles, 1.47 billion social relations, 4,262 trending topics, and 106 million tweets. In its follower-following topology analysis we have found a non-power-law follower distribution, a short effective diameter, and low reciprocity, which all mark a deviation from known characteristics of human social networks~\cite{Newman03}. In order to identify influentials on Twitter, we have ranked users by the number of followers and by PageRank and found two rankings to be similar. Ranking by retweets differs from the previous two rankings, indicating a gap in influence inferred from the number of followers and that from the popularity of one’s tweets. We have analyzed the tweets of top trending topics and reported on their temporal behavior and user participation. We have classified the trending topics based on the active period and the tweets and show that the majority (over 85%) of topics are headline news or persistent news in nature. A closer look at retweets reveals that any retweeted tweet is to reach an average of 1,000 users no matter what the number of followers is of the original tweet. Once retweeted, a tweet gets retweeted almost instantly on next hops, signifying fast diffusion of information after the 1st retweet.

To the best of our knowledge this work is the first quantitative study on the entire Twittersphere and information diffusion on it

Title: This time, it’s personal (Engaging and interacting with consumers is the content industry’s new battleground)
Type: Study Report
Company/author: Accenture
Opt-in: No
Short:

Under the impact of disruptive technological innovation, the media and entertainment industry is fully embracing the need to change. The shifts under way encompass not just advances in content technologies, but also proliferation of delivery channels, radical changes in digital consumer behavior and profound challenges to established revenue models. And, the competitive landscape is no longer divided between the formerly distinct sectors of the industry; the fight is cross-sector and fierce.

Now to compete and grow, companies in this sector will need to build and leverage capabilities in digital consumer data management to deepen their customer relationships and create more compelling content services. An intimate understanding of the digital consumer, backed by analytics, is a prerequisite for the targeted, personalized, cross-platform content services that will drive future revenue growth.

The first phase of digital transformation involved coming to grips with the new models and technologies of the now “must have” digital supply chain. We are now seeing the start of the next phase, as the industry reshapes its content offerings and business models around the consumer in an escalating battle for hearts, eyes, minds, data and wallets.

Title: No Shortcuts: The Road Map to Smarter Marketing
Type: Publication
Company/author: The Boston Consulting Group
Opt-in: No
Short:

Companies invest staggering sums of money on marketing with surprisingly little rigor. Because measuring and optimizing spending on marketing is notoriously difficult, companies often rely on rules of thumb, such as spending as a percentage of revenues. A recent benchmarking study conducted by BCG and Marketing Analytics indicates that these shortcuts can be imprecise and unreliable. This report describes a better approach—one that encompasses all commercial investments and integrates a top-down strategic perspective and a rigorous bottom-up analysis.

How to Be Effective: Structuring Change, Managing Change, Leading Change (by Jonathan LS Byrnes) [English]

howtobeeffective

Title: How to be Effective
Type: Manifest
Author: Jonathan L. S. Byrnes (MIT)
Publisher: ChangeThis
Opt-in: No
Short:

"When I talk to former students, clients, and executives, I’ve found that their biggest concern is being effective—going beyond conceiving great new things and actually driving them into practice.

I’ve also seen that most people make two big mistakes when they think about change:

  • They fail to realize that managing change requires a really different process from day-to-day management, not harder but very different.
  • They approach change in a one-size-fits-all way.

Successful change, being effective, involves three things: structuring change, managing change and leading change. I call this The Golden Triangle of Change."
