Point number four registered the most. Content has to be valuable and relevant. I think this will be one of biggest challenges companies have in navigating this new way of doing business — that and integrating social media with their traditional marketing channels. If by being viral, we want social networks to spread the good news of any product, service, brand or cause, viral spreads when the content is deemed worthy enough to be shared within and beyond the networks. My question is, how many managers, directors and executives in most companies, other than perhaps the technology sector, really understand that concept?

It’s simple. Storytelling is broken online. We’ve fixed it.

Here are some of the highlights:

Heekya is the Wikpedia of Stories, a social storytelling platform that is changing the way consumers create, share, and discover stories. Free. Fun. Easy. 60 seconds. See it here: http://heekya.com/preview.php
What you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) drag and drop story editor. Import all media (photo, video, text, and audio) from third party services (Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, etc.)
Users grab and embed Heekya story widget across social networks (Facebook, MySpace, et. al) blogs (wordpress, blogger, twitter) personal websites and via e-mail and instant message.
Ability to re-mix and mashup other stories, retelling them from a consumers own vantage point, that will keep user engagement levels high and attract more traffic virally, as people share and re-share stories.

Storytelling is at the core of human existence. We’re building Heekya to unlock powerful stories of people all over the world and empower them to share their story with anyone, anywhere, anytime.

As competition has increased in all the markets and if you want to be in high speed than your competitors. Then I would prefer media advertising as perfect place for you where you can target the people who are relevant to your market and there are many chances of getting more busness from the area you would like to target.

Max,

Cause Marketing will mature in 2009 when cause-related activity can be converted into currency and profitability, but I don’t think it will go mainstream until 2010 or 2011 when it will be incorporated into the standard ROI models.

Content creating companies and media companies will create win/win partnerships to leverage the relationship’s media brands have with their audience to marry with company created original content.
