Social Media Revolution

Is social media a fad? Or is it the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution? Welcome to the World of Socialnomics.

Currently, one of my interests is how these social networks can be economically self sustaining.

Erez Lieberman says some things about that in the article The evolving face of social networks:

“…online social networks have been plagued by the problem of how to make money. Where is the value in a social network?”

“What online social networks do is to dramatically accelerate and amplify our existing capacity to influence and co-operate with one another. And this influence is worth a lot of money”

“In my opinion, as we get better at measuring what happens within social networks (what is the likelihood that a particular stimulus within a social network leads to a particular response?), I predict a lot more organised marketing efforts on social networks as well as systematic influence campaigns.”

Big milestone today! More than 2000 Cradle to Cradle Supporters are registered. These are people who want radical change of business. Let’s stop making wrong things more efficient. Stop end-of-pipe solutions. Start using current solar income. Design products, processes and businesses in closed loops with the end in mind. Waste could equal food. Celebrate diversity!

Three months ago, I started c2c-supporters.org. Today, it already has almost 500 registered supporters on many different of the social networks on the internet. Especially the supporters on Linkedin is doing great – see the graph below.

Five hundred supporters is great, but why not 500.000 supporters? Who is favor of an economy based on solar income, cyclic production and consumption processes that prevent depletion and pollution by design? Exactly, who wouldn’t? Become a supporter too and be an ambassador!
