Tom Nixon (he of Nixon McInness) has been working up a diagram to act as a model for social media strategy. It's going to be a creative commons project and Tom has already reached out to myself (at Brando-Digital.com - site going live any moment now!) and others to sense-check his initial proposals. The outcome of this initial tinkering is seen below.
What I've seen so far has been a remarkably detailed and deep reaching description of the Power of the Network and one I have very few quibbles with.
It has started life on the Nixon-McInness blog but, as we discussed off camera (you'll see a video below) we feel it's going to be wise to widgetise - and make the ideas and concept as portable as possible.
I'm already thinking about how we could create a truly interactive version of the diagram Tom has started us all off with. Something the team at Brando-Digital.com (my lot) could contribute, I'm thinking.
And I wonder if Dave Armano might consider throwing his considerable talents into the co-creation mix on this one? And with purpose core in the model, we're going to need Mark Earls, too. How about it fellas?
Tom and I met on Tuesday to talk about the project. And I shot this quick video of him elaborating on it.
I hope you will take up his offer to join in.
I'll be sharing this at the P2PR community, too.
Enjoy the street sounds :-)
Thanks for covering this David, and good talking to you the other day.
ReplyDeleteWe've been iterating the model - have changed the middle box. Edge Competencies is just too academic a concept to make sense in a simple model like this so I've made it a bit more straightforward. Let me know what you think:

Hi Tom, will post an update and some questions to help us tackle this at around noon on December 23.
