Is There Room for New Social Media Players?

By meshmarketing

The Panel: Is there Room for New Players within Social Media?

The Panelists: Steve Rubel and Dave Kerpen with moderator Mathew Ingram.

Although there are thousands of social networking services, the landscape is dominated by a small handful of players: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and perhaps Google+.

The question is whether there is room my new entrants. For all the talk about Diaspora and, mostly recently, Unthink, there hasn’t been a new kid of social block of any significance in the past few years with the exception of Google+, which is supported by Google’s digital dominance.

What would it take for a new player to establish a strong foothold? What would a new service have to offer and how would it have to market itself to capture the attention of social media users who are increasingly reluctant to wander from existing services? And what should brands do when a new service appears on the scene? Should they jump onto the bandwagon or wait on the sidelines until they know the new service has traction? Come see Rubel and Kerpen provide insight into the competitive social media landscape.

Panel: Gaining wisdom, insight and intelligence from social media monitoring

Speakers: Patrick Gladney, Social Media Group, and Scott Lake, Swix

What’s it about: In many respects, social media monitoring is table stakes for most companies. Given the growth of the landscape, companies need to know what’s being said about their products, services, brands, competitors and industry, where the activity is taking place, and who’s leading the conversations.

But what happens after the social media data has been aggregated, filtered and presented? What do companies do with it so they gain the insight needed to make strategic and tactical changes?

Why you should attend: This panel is focused on answering the question “Now what?” so people can get a better grasp on what how they gain wisdom, insight and intelligence from social media monitoring.
