Media notes: Lai Changxing and "Xin-competition"

Through travel agents to pay bribes in the form of cross-border tourism. Shopping bag full of banknotes in the parking lot. United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), just above year United States Asian government officials in many facilities for the IBM corporate bribery in two ways.

SEC settle in March, the multinational computer companies to $ 10 million fine, civil accusations against it. SEC complains, IBM attempted to China and Korea when its hardware products in government procurement, violated the foreign corrupt practices Act (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act).

IBM is not alone. Only 6 weeks ago, the United States Department of Justice, said California energy storage products manufacturer maikesiwei technology company (Maxwell technologies) to sell power to State-owned enterprises in China to the underlying device, bribed to exaggerate the contract price, the company paid nearly 15 million dollar fine to settle criminal and civil charges against themselves.

There are other examples of known companies, for example in 2009 France Alcatel-Lucent (Alcatel-Lucent), and United States regulators settle, which found that group Telecom was a group of Chinese officials visited the factory and training trip, most of the time spent in Disneyland (Disneyworld), Universal Studios (Universal Studios) or Las Vegas.

The United States authorities with unprecedented intensity, possible violations of the foreign corrupt practices Act investigations, attracted by reconciliation, publishing, and also fined is more and more, Weijia, New York law firm (Weil Gotshal & Manges), United States Department of Justice and the allegations of SEC brought a total of 74 last year, only 12 and 5 years ago. As part of the reason is that companies are increasingly in the Western world to indicate the countries whose economies are largely controlled by the Government. "It is part of globalisation," said a regulator. -When in the market of emerging countries, it is difficult to go from a compliance perspective. ”

But there is also another reason, namely surveys might be hard-pressed to provide federal financial matters also with regard to this pre-admits that harvest. WAI-Kay law firm (White & Case) study showed that within 3 years, target reconciliation brought revenue of us $ 3 billion to the Treasury. When the relevant bodies to get congressional approval when their larger budgets, this is a lot of "selling points". The global financial crisis and bonade · maduofu (Bernard Madoff), after the fraud, the supervisory authorities also felt the pressure to prove his ability to work. The foreign corrupt practices Act is a strong proof of the tool objectives.

As a result, for those companies that do business abroad--whether it is the largest transnational corporations, including the smallest investment institutions--the problem is becoming increasingly difficult. Also operate problem, organizing travel for customers or vendors, may also incur unsecured.

United States businesses complained about strict rules which constitute unfair barriers and United States complain businesses than United States regulators for cross-border jurisdiction. When under beike · maijian advokatbyr? (Baker & McKenzie), in fact, six cases in which foreign corrupt practices act in the largest settlement, 5 has its headquarters in the United States outside the company. Siemens AG (Siemens) to pay fines and up to ever profit recovery in the United States and Germany paid a total of 1.6 billion dollars, since companies in Argentina, Bangladesh, Iraq and other places undue payment of money to government officials to obtain contracts.

Other Governments would follow the United States. United Kingdom anti-bribery law entered into force on 1 July. The OECD (OECD) has several anti-bribery initiative, but transparency International (Ti) noted in 2011 survey, OECD member countries, only 7 countries to actively implement these initiatives, 21 countries which have failed to take action, or a very small, the other 9 countries had taken appropriate measures.

Up front disclosure: Altimeter believes in fostering trust with the market, and we disclose who our clients are, providing they agree. ?Some of the vendors listed below are clients.

Summary: Nascent Market Appears Similar, Confusing Buyers
Overall, the Social Media Management System (SMMS) space lacks market differentiation when it comes to market positioning, which is often reflective of feature set. ?Furthermore, many of these low-barrier technologies are being developed rapidly, and a feature war has set in. As a result, buyers are often confused, resulting in longer evaluation and consideration phase, and heterogenous mix of vendors in an RFP processes. Furthermore, the lack of market differentiation hurts vendors, who may have greater sales costs, and longer sales cycles during a convoluted RFP process. This is normal in an emerging market, and expect the maturity of the nascent SMMS space to follow similar patterns to the maturing Community Platform space.

Buyers often indicate they are very confused by the vendors in the Social Media Management Systems space, let’s probe to find out why. One initial observation is the explosion of over 25 vendors in a short period of time, the following analysis is based of the following vendors: Argyle Social, Awareness Networks, Buddy Media, Constant Contact, Context Optional, Conversocial, CoTweet, Engage Sciences, Expion, Hootsuite, MediaFunnel, Moderation Marketplace, Mutual Mind, Objective Marketer, Postling, Seesmic, Shoutlet, SocialVolt, SpredFast, Sprinklr, StrongMail, Syncapse, Vitrue, and Wildfire.

Why Positioning Is Important
Messaging is often the first thing prospects see and as a result, where I will focus today. Why? This is the first thing that buyers see (positioning) before even evaluating the feature set. Furthermore, I’ve done a similar exercise before with the community platform space a few years ago, a space I draw clear parallels as the SMMS space follows suit. Clearly this isn’t a comparison of features or offerings (we may do this in our next report), but a sampling of what prospects see as they first glance at this emerging and growing market.

Method: Visiting Each Vendor’s Website, Like a Buyer
Here’s how I conducted this process: First, I put myself in the place of the buyer and imagined their task of sorting through this new space and short listing it. Then, I went to the website homepage and sought to find the dominant messaging that would resonate from the vendor: tag lines, descriptors or even the HTML title at top of browser. If they didn’t have this, I had to go to About page or even Product page in some examples. ?To show my work, I’ve also provided a Google sheet where you can see my tallies across the 25 vendors.

List of Positioning Statements from 25 SMMS Vendors
Here’s what I found (vendor names removed) can you identify which of the messaging applies to which vendor? (answers in link below).

See Answer Sheet with Vendor Names
To see the name of the vendor and the associated messaging above, see the answer sheet.

Above Graphic: Most vendors have centralized their messaging around “SMMS’ (10/25)?or “Social Marketing” (10/25) ?yet few have evolved messaging to either specific markets, verticals. ?There were stronger mentions in differentiation around market purpose: with more focus on Business (4/25), Enterprise (3/25), and even SMB (2/25). ?However, there is differentiation in terms of channel with a peppering of mentions around Mobile, SCRM, Facebook/Twitter. ?Overall, when removing company name from taglines, most taglines (aside from Buddy Media) were indistinguishable from the next.

Findings

Market Positioning Centered on variations of “SMMS” and “Social Marketing”. High adopt of category term, Most vendors (10/25 vendors), adopted the term Social Media Management System or Dashboard in their primary messaging. Secondly followed by high adoption of permutations on the phrase “Social media Marketing (10/25 vendors). ?While I certainly encourage the adoption of the term SMMS (which I use as the category name since March 2010), the term Social Media Marketing isn’t fully representative of the overall use case, which can include support and customer service. ?Furthermore, four of those those that did use the terms SMMS, didn’t have follow up descriptors helping to differentiate.Some Vendors Lacked Appropriate Descriptors. During my visit to all 25 vendors pages, not all of them had consistent taglines, descriptors, or positioning. ?In some cases, I had to go to the product pages to find out exactly what they do, which can be a turn off for buyers. ?I’m sure that many vendors will suggest that I got the wrong messaging they were trying to convey, but I treated each experience the same, acting like a buyer, if I didn’t get your intended message, that in itself should be evaluated, as likely your prospects may be experiencing the same.Despite a Market of 25 Vendors, Few stood out from Pack. Take a look at that list above, these positioning statements are pretty much the same, there’s no doubt why buyers are so confused. ?This space is confusing, they all look alike, except for Buddy Media. yet despite being the sole stand out, their tag line isn’t descriptive of what they offer, nor a value statement. Traditionally, marketing tag lines require years of investment and market awareness before shifting to a non value-statement tag line. While cute, I don’t think it’s as helpful compared to their title statement “Facebook Marketing | Social Media Marketing | Power Tools for Facebook” which is descriptive, if Buddy could merge both catch line and descriptor, they could be a contender to stand apart.

What It Means:

Lack of Market Positioning is a sign of lack of Product Differentiation. While we’ve not made a direct causation between similar features and positioning statements, we know from vendor briefings and client meetings that the offerings are often the same. ?As a result, buyers rely on WOM between each other, as well as viability and vision crafted by each of these vendors.Immature Market Lacks Educated Buyers –and Vendors Not Sure Future Vision. The market confusion isn’t just stemming from the vendors, buyers are still getting educated on this space as we know that adoption is growing –slowly.Rapidly Changing Feature Set Will Continue Confusion. This space is early, it’s just over a year old from category naming and it continues to evolve. ?Expect the vendors to ever battle over features, matching what other competitors beat them in bids. ?Like the community platform space, we saw similar confusion and then market clarity as winners emerge.

Continuing ?Altimeter Coverage on the SMMS Space
We’re currently doing data cuts on a survey to 140 enterprise buyers on the SMMS space, and about a similar amount for the SMB space, and have data on: number of accounts companies have to manage, number of business accounts, top feature desires, feature satisifaction, adoption rates. ?Altimeter clients have access through advisory opportunities. ? Also Brian Solis is helping with vendor selection for a global national brand, as do I short list for buyers. ?Altimeter Group will be producing a report on the SMMS space, follow me on Twitter, and Andrew Jones to learn more.

Rampacious flock of social media: gadgets, crazy, crowd

He in Babbage's column this week is virtual lemming human colony insist many herd mentality rise affect, us writes self superficial advances offer many disposable time, but we just fiddle with the Iphone, is entered.

First let's glance in Mashable today some headlines. Town Hall event, was answered in the Obama of another teenager Messenger-send one month in General, and one of the in their tweets how many texts you catch some sense my imagination about one talks why Twitter cross-cultural engagement influences was by Jessica Faye Carter.

Wilfred Batten Lewis Trotter (relationship between none, del boy ） crowd described in 1908, two papers on his studies he was known. William James Trotter argued is axiomatically like instinct impulses slightly earlier proposals but gregarious instinct to bees, sheep and Wolf Pack obviousness of discussion of any that the ultimately stupid idea.

Drafted at this time, define an instinctive behavior as Lloyd Morgan, Professor: "the experience on the occurrence of the first; In the independent. To save the health of individuals and tribes tend to be in; Similarly, by all members of the same more or less restricted animals performing groups; might be subject to subsequent changes of experience under the guidance. Social media perhaps fit this criteria.

I this Millennium and to "the madness of crowds: gadgets" is better at self. In his column he how he frequently succumb talks about: "one of the great obsession of the modern world: bestowed me i.e. gadget or device I I, has been faster and efficiently what time type that is so desperately needed: time".

He in some detail in "nothing but tips from his", and explain, really "we young rock pools to hand and yearn to get" of facing ads or some deranged asked "a nervous spiel" some early adopters, and he flies to some computer-generated fantasy "techno-validity" of imagine yet.

However, Jessica Faye Carter back, she believes "" we see the Trending topics in the run the herd mentality is someone we might be intrigued by the comment and whether to see the profiles of the people. Or, see the topic you want to know what is happening and have never heard of our trend we.

Humans are social creatures, there's nothing better than being alone are afraid. Youth, ' herd mentality ' is fixed than adults can get, but I bandwagon psychology, argues the prevalent among the most mature adults.

"Bandwagon psychology ' herd mentality ', that person is connected than humans than the thinking processes of the person to join a group of people believe something that might be given to it or their dependence they bandwagon psychology. 」

There is a market for RatKiller 3.0 marketing social media consultant?

Writers of LinkedIn questions: "most business owners about where social media and mobile text ads in the opinion of my companies pay management social media consultant to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., doesn't have a clue to begin. Dan Hughes

Worth reading articles on the website of the Guardian headline before in the opinion of certain themes in it the original: "social tide of scepticism of us Cyber's network under the sweep of fresh attacks" is and claim it is: "you can see Facebook and instant messaging, madness and modern forms and communications online via Twitter how desperate people in the major American sociologist... To said that caused the behavior in General still referencing views pathology problem representation can cause, "MIT Professor Sherry Turkle as her new book, and is the leading attack information age writes together. "Full report, see http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jan/22/social-networking-cyber-scepticism-twitter.

Now the LinkedIn back, "connection" "Pathology" die extended market-leading it to understand the economics of the SEM advantages of other senior management and organic search can reach how very rare and one I think the most enduring moments in life with many customers.

You must seem to think that too much time in their income increasing or is it to maintain fallback to reliance on their traditional media in a recession. This transition all stagnation and profitability goals. We must convince some way, otherwise I estimate that involved only 10% of my clients actually mechanics and successful social media campaign promoting understanding. Or to convey may be SEO is difficult enough, but with social media.

Comments to random articles to choose, probably it loosely is convenient to define social media really no sho. Suppose the article writing, maintaining a blog/RSS, social bookmarking, Facebook pages means creating a video podcast posting tweets, forums, and attractive.

So far in this response was: "Paul wrote"consultants"alone"at the surface level best"experience,"slightly to create a materials consultant, Facebook fan pages and Twitter accounts to methods other than "but is that it primarily"consultants"all trading Jack several master is not, true maintains. Professed a self-professed "are onerously or social media consultant" in the animate program code design designers, programmers and animators coder is equal to me saying "web designer" when the.

I'm journalist can be up to industry-specific quotes in my argument, but I can certainly write? Not can write searchable headlines I, heading a qualified writer. I can't shoot longer professional videos or write music. He crushed and then, articles "isn't good enough" and clients who "high quality traffic to your drive business to" man called Yoav said that when agreed that lack this substance. Suspected that he is this social marketing consultant to qualify.

I traffic many sites from the site itself often produced most of the blog generation onsite, they disagree on some level. Harm the site ranking in the expansion of the inquiry I indeed.

Others, eased key social media consultant that business owners, task "is simply the time and there's no" and claimed. Understand the resources, commitment and ability to add. When providing content social media configuration and execution of the whole area, it is opposite of "bottom line" for benefits management to introduce complete almost any other secular skill is required.

This is, of course, leads to money. Kate is of the biggest obstacles to consulting for social media roi Manager "proof" and that thought is being able to fail to understand the benefits of top executives often. Only, "and measure return on investment and very difficult to stand-alone outsourcing marketing services functions and have my reason think it will struggle. 」

Mashable wrote ROI subject about last year, says: "return last month, measuring 84% of social media programs that we do not invest (ROI ROI) … Survey reporting companies and executives are starting to finally really the social media bandwagon, and it is awesome. However, completely (in for everyone) can use for social media, social media to evaluate the impact to companies and brands in the positive and negative is both. So it is difficult to track the work that must be evaluated is not social media and measuring ROI is impossible in many difficult.

Until I changed significantly and it is not likely think there need to be clear about the "social media consultant" means in the myriad definitions of various skills. What consent is "the biggest obstacle" managed only convince rather than interact with customers about the products and services measure ROI is issued with a social message. This is but I would argue, everything is all within the umbrella term "social media" is achieved through individual media.

Rather than relying on mere economics are my understanding of social media communications. It is exclusively profit motive by model is a new paradigm. Is the job of advertising. But back to the original question: pay on corporate management Facebook Twitter LinkedIn, social media consultant. If you know the subject is not an unqualified "Yes" consultant

But wait a minute, let's want and extreme assumptions, the companies are in the social media experiment to engage, and sells electronic rats PestStopper online killer. But we are the best disinfection of their English and their product description is shocking we also know that we know.

To write a press release about the ultra efficient RatKiller 3.0 now immediately PestStopper new, adopted. No brochures come with the release, most from their websites collect. So, researching the other rats kill on the Web product prick, in a press release. Posted in social media sites. Then set the Facebook fan page. Post a brief summary about your company and its products. But fans want? Tweet, when people will follow you?

Perhaps there is probably no company 4,166 is the company that sells electronic rat killer Twitter followers like ZeitGeistNews cute puppy sold, but the next problem?

Panda's social media and Google update

It's reduced the search engine algorithm changes site rankings provide a low-quality content to the introduction of Google's recent Panda updates. "Panda" Google Google engineer after that references or content farms, an obvious target for search engine land's Danny Sullivan phone and received by the community of "farmer" updates, very carefully, and SEO update.

As a result, a huge drop in traffic some of most popular website to watch. This marked the change in the main Google that affect about 12% of overall Google search result ranking. SEO industry is still digesting its impact and influence.

RSS, dynamically generated information and publishing news headlines articles in the form of dedicated blog or news site, providing the story introduction of the first few lines are generally by overview.

Some media sites "as the spam sites" of explains how to use the "authority" site's RSS feed. Exactly, maybe, but one is my RSS plugin search engine watch from for example.

Paste the url can pretty simply grab the feed, feed2js.org, customize it with the generated Javascript code and publish your website. Using a low quality web site content is immediately added to the website of the new articles so therefore appears content to RSS.

Wired.com asked in an interview with Amit Singhal, Google fellow and the core ranking team head, search engine optimization expert Matt Cutts of Google's search quality group: "shallow recognition content site is way? "Singhal answers", did not resolve it currently ongoing evolution quite a very hard problem is this resolve the problem how to ".

Matt Cutts is probably went very helpful in explaining: "watching you the same experience is to re-create the same intuitive signal engineers as users think. With our most viewed block sites, our intuition and experience, your experience of the type of site you are trying to add user values do not add user value with key whenever there is a consensus could be. To say we really came up with a classifier, well the IRS or Wikipedia or this side to the New York Times, this side and low-quality sites. You can really see why Mathematics "

Matt Cutts has become once again, a little opaque definition is here referring to identify sources. Gave my date stamp I also hard to talk about article doesn't strike and complex problems have been addressed by Google engineers, because like this should be. "" So it is important to note also and trying to apply to "cautious" mixed quality site, according to Singhal.

Automate the site using Google is ranked the "content farms" label on most sites with this update tool to extract data from other sites. But the need to restore these sites? Create the content you copy pages of the site content, or have excessive advertising content ratio chance is affected by this update and put it where it needs changes.

What is it exactly? SeoChat on another post by Aaron Wall's "for defining characteristics" of became list mentions "useful" content: man checking; To pass advertising-heavy is not, has not been copied from another document; outside this is; created by going non-branded search engine distribution channels; doesn't have a 100% bounce rate. Recommended for Vanessa Fox can help move rankings and high-quality content to another domain or to remove low-quality pages, search engine land wrote
