Buzz Marketing for Technology

JULY 7, 2008

I’ve done a number of workshops the past few months with clients designed to do two primary things: Land a common understanding across the teams involved around what social media, communities and influencer programs really are and more importantly why it matters to a business. I describe this as hearing systems.

When my company, Small Business Trends, LLC, first purchased BizSugar in the summer of 2009, the best way I could describe it was as a miniature version of Digg, except that BizSugar focused soley on sharing information geared toward small and mid-sized businesses. BizSugar is built on Pligg, an open source content management system.

Such was the case for this Digg story , which compared multiple web hosting companies and watched as these hosts handled the traffic spikes that resulted from the Digg effect. Digg is the social media network of tech geeks, and the Digg statistics should not be too surprising: 39% of Diggers publish their own blog.

There’s been a lot of debate around Facebook’s new commenting system, particularly due to the fact it is currently being tested on Techcrunch. On a more analytic level, there are a variety of reasons for not using a commenting system which currently rests on the shoulder of one company.

Digg died this week, basically, I guess Digg died several weeks ago but like it officially died this week. I would say they sold or they got sold or they’re no longer Digg as we know it or as we knew it, but yes, I guess you could also say they’re dead. Digg, it’s more of like the demise of Digg.

Networks like Digg, FriendFeed, and Facebook are seeing huge growths in value, but the little guys, the ones actually providing the meat and potatoes for those operations, rarely see a nickel. Just like it’s not uncommon for someone to click the “Digg&# button on Digg without ever visiting the site.

In these areas, Google does a great job understanding the needs of their community and delivering services that meet those needs. So when I did a search for “ios 5″ on Google, not only did I see web pages and blog posts, but I also saw Google+ posts and comments on the operating system. But social networks? Not yet Google!

It was taken the night of January 28, 2008 (approximately 11PM EST): While Digg typically allowed stories to hit the front page within 80-120 votes (the latter being more rare than normal), it’s now requiring almost double the number.

Every time I tell someone I’m a Community Manager , I get a varied response. &# That last one might be the most honest of the three, since asking a Community Manager whether they tweet for a living is like asking a construction worker if they cat-call for a living, or a doctor if he asks people to say “ah!&# for a living.

I needed to differentiate Digg from social media because they actually are part of a distinctive community (and as you know, I’m very passionate about Digg so it really did deserve its own category). It may not be a perfect system, but it’s interesting enough to follow for awhile, and see how it pans out.
