Staying Productive with Social Streams

Editor's Notes

1. A decade ago, our use of the internet went through a fundamental transformation. With e-business the world went from browsing to buying and surfing to selling: conducting real business transactions to drive real business value.
2. Social media has become an increasingly important tool in our daily lives – helping people connect, communicate and share information. This has forever changed the way people interact. Today, more than 2 billion people use the internet. By the end of this year, Gen Y will outnumber Baby Boomers….and 96% of them have joined a social network. The second largest search engine in the world is YouTube 25% of search results for the World’s Top 20 largest brands are links to user-generated content. And this adoption has happened at an incredible pace. Consider this: to reach 50 million users, it took radio 38 years...it took television 13....it took the internet only 4. Meanwhile, Facebook added 100 million users in less than 9 months…iPhone applications hit 1 billion downloads in 9 months. It's clear we are now in the midst of a revolution. People are using these connections as a primary means of communication, in many cases, replacing other more traditional interactions .

4. The rise of social networking is enabling customers and employees to connect in an infinite number of ways and platforms to create their own “social graphs” However, most organizations have not exploited the power of these connections and applied them to basic business processes. The potential value of these networks to improve business have largely gone unrealized.
