het verschil tussen vrienden, volgers en fans
17 december 2010
Een fantastisch artikel van Brian Solis over het verschil tussen vrienden, volgers en fans. De laatste tijd lijkt aanwezigheid op Facebook, twitter, Hyves, etc een doel op zich bij grote organisaties, bedacht door onnadenkende, zichzelf op de borstkloppende, hippe marketeers…guys have a drink, het zit toch anders in elkaar.

As such, we tend to view connections made in social networks quite literally as the 3F’s, friends, fans and followers. With such a narrow view of who we’re trying to reach and why, we limit our effect and value.
There is no one audience… Lees meer op het blog van Brian Solis
