Effective managers do not view their community as tied to a specific technology or network, but rather as a group of users who share principles and interests. This requires continuous education through frequent research across the Web and conversations among peers.

When I started working on a plan for adding a group to work on social support, I did a lot of research. This included talking to friends, reading blogs and reading white papers. I also asked Wiley if they could send me a review copy of Frank Eliason’s @Your Service. .

I am also a research junkie when it comes to the social space and like checking out reports even if it takes me a few months to clear the foot high stack of them sitting on my work desk. You can view the full research report below: Burson-Marsteller 2011 Global Social Media Check-up. I have a problem that I need to admit.

Before I get into the results for this week, I would like to invite you to test your picks against the formula that I listed above in my ESPN group. For this season, I decided to go against my gut and rely on the wisdom of the social web. The person who finishes the season with the best record will get a $25 Amazon gift card from me.

For example, CoTweet recently put out a research report, Twitter X-Factors , which showed some pretty interesting numbers when comparing regular Twitters users to all other consumers. On the flip side, if you anger this group be ready to hear about it in your Google Alerts. Do you think a post on that would be useful?

The whole thing has been eye opening as I never realized how many grown men still shower with gym shorts on in a group shower – kind of odd to me. The numbers are from a research study that was done with Vistaprint customers and 46% of the surveyed group says that they use the medium. How was all of your week?
