So the CIPR and PRCA have both made efforts over the last few months to engage with Wikimedia and begin to develop a series of guidelines to help the industry. Essentially Wikipedia is a community and, as with any community, you have to abide by its rules. The consultation process is on a Wiki on the Wikimedia site and the initial phase will end this Sunday. Cross-posted from the EML Wildfire blog.

I had my say before about the horror that can be the YouTube comments section , but if used correctly you can truly build a community. Getting more YouTube subscribers via this community is easy as these fans are more likely to share your content (look through all of my YouTube articles , see a trend in who I talk about? This puts your name into other communities.

Industries such as marketing now rely heavily on a new field of social data science to make sense of the large quantities of information about their brand community. The footprint of a Wikimedia article visualized by @DaphnaLevin at ECIS2014. Attending the European Conference of Information Systems in Tel Aviv last week, I was happy to find that areas such as data visualization, predictive analytics, social CRM and ROI etc found their way into the conference.

SoundCloud is the most exciting opportunity for musicians to increase their exposure, find new fans, and even get discovered. Getting more SoundCloud plays is not, however, as simple as uploading some tracks and letting the magic happen. You have to work for them, and you have to have a good plan to get more SoundCloud plays.

A split within Social media and content: Social Media will be split into 2 areas, the visual web and the community focused web. The shift in social media towards a paid model demonstrates the value of building an owned media platform and developing a community online for brands. However, for those just getting started, they may not have the time or patience it takes to foster a community. Content created within communities will continue to be valuable.
