In this slide, first we understand what social media is and what applications that are viewed as social media tools and services.
Then, we learn about how social media can be used for business and the success stories of the businesses that have used social media.
Next, we look at the implication of the technology that needs to be developed in order to support social media data creation, edition, and search.
We also look at how social media changes the way we live in society. Like any other technologies, social media also has side effects which we will discuss some of those.

7 Reasons Why Social Media Marketing
42
Reason #1 Reduced cost
You pay only the Internet access and
salaries for people who update the content
You have all the space you need to
advertise and promote what you have
43. 43
7 Reasons Why Social Media Marketing
43
Reason #2 Measurable results
Instead of waiting for Google search
engine to index your Web site on the first
page of its result
Cannot force Google search engine to show
our Web site on the first page
With social media you can develop content
and be seen by thousands of visitors
46. 46
7 Reasons Why Social Media Marketing
46
Reason #3 Flexible
Many different social media websites, such
as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn
Use the one that is the most suitable for
your organization or company
47. 47
7 Reasons Why Social Media Marketing
47
Reason #4 Audience with all ages
48. 48
7 Reasons Why Social Media Marketing
48
Reason #5 No geographical restrictions
The World Wide Web will do the work for you
Your products and services will be known
throughout all people around the world
People at wherever can become your fan
club
People at wherever can follow you
49. 49
7 Reasons Why Social Media Marketing
49
Success with social media will likely
increase the number of inbound links you
receive
Links will boost your search engine
rankings and they’ll also drive click-
through traffic your way
Both are generally high quality traffic
sources.
52. 52
7 Reasons Why Social Media Marketing
52
Reason #6: Eco-friendly
Imagine how many trees are being cut
down just to come up with yellow pages or
brochures?
Imagine how much waste is thrown out
when people dump their brochures?
Social media marketing likely does not use
gas as much as traditional marketing which
requires commuting and transportation
53. 53
7 Reasons Why Social Media Marketing
53
Reason #7: Build a relationship with
customers
Instead of doing outbound marketing to the
masses of people who are trying to block
you out
Doing "inbound marketing" where you
help yourself "get found" by people already
learning about and shopping in your
industry
54. 54
7 Harsh Realities of Social Media Marketing
54
#1 No one is reading your blog
Technorati tells us there are about 900,000 blog
posts made every 24 hours
#2 You’ve got to give (some of) your
best stuff away
You’re going to give away some of your
best, most valuable, most life-improving
material away for free, within a well-
defined content marketing plan
55. 55
7 Harsh Realities of Social Media Marketing
55
#3: It will eat your life (if you let it)
Know what you want to do with social
media, keep yourself focused, and set a
timer if you have to
The tools are amazing, but so is their
power to distract you from what you’re
trying to accomplish
56. 56
7 Harsh Realities of Social Media Marketing
56
#4: Social media hates selling
It’s really hard to sell products and services
in social media, mostly because this
audience hates salespeople worse than they
hate Microsoft
You may be able to get some limited
success out of it, but more likely you’ll be
banned, blocked, shunned, and abused
57. 57
7 Harsh Realities of Social Media Marketing
57
#5: What they say is a million times
more important than what you say
People with lousy products, crummy
business practices, and shady backgrounds
get found out
Word spreads with frightening speed
Treat people right, because if you don’t,
you will be exposed. And it will not be
pretty
58. 58
7 Harsh Realities of Social Media Marketing
58
#6: A blog is not a marketing plan
Blogs are cool, but a single useful tool isn’t the
same thing as a solid business and marketing
plan.
Blogs are just one way to get your best content
out there
If you’re in social media to do business, you
have to develop a strategy for taking mildly
interested strangers and turning them into
raving fans . . . and customers
59. 59
7 Harsh Realities of Social Media Marketing
59
#7: You don’t get to opt out
The conversation will happen with or
without you
If you want to influence the conversation,
you’ve actually got to get into the
conversation
60. 60
7 Myths of Social Media Marketing
60
Myth #1: Social media is free
Fact: You should expect to invest in
social media
You need to spend employee time or
paying an agency or consultant
To be effective in social media a great
investment in learning and research is
required
61. 61
7 Myths of Social Media Marketing
61
Myth #2: Younger People “get” Social
Media
Fact: Social Use of Social Media is NOT
the Same as Employing it as a Marketing
Strategy
It takes more than exposure to the medium
– it takes strategy, marketing know-how
and great creative execution
62. 62
7 Myths of Social Media Marketing
62
Myth #3: Social Media is Easy
Fact: The Barriers to Entry are Low, but
Getting it Right is Harder
Social media may be harder than you think –
failure rates in corporate blogs are high
Many corporate twitter accounts lack any real
engagement
When using social media to build your
business be prepared to roll up your sleves and
do some work
63. 63
7 Myths of Social Media Marketing
63
Myth #4: Social Media is Fast
Fact: Social Media Takes Time
Social Media takes time – both to listen
and understand the communities as well as
to figure out how to use it effectively.
Getting it right in social media is difficult,
and it takes trial and error.
64. 64
7 Myths of Social Media Marketingb
64
Myth #5: Social Media Can’t Be Measured
Fact: Social Media is Measurable – But Measure
More than just Followers and Fans
What are the click through rates to your
corporate site from social sites?
How many key influencers in your audience
have you connected with?
How many people retweet you?
What is your score on Twitter Grader or Klout?
You can also set up campaigns
65. 65
7 Myths of Social Media Marketing
65
Myth #6: Social Media is for Everyone
Fact: Consider Your Strategy First, then Choose the
Tool
If you don’t have the time or resources to
dedicate to it you may end up wasting your time
completely
Creating an account that is later abandoned may
end up having negative impacts on your
organization and can signal that you don’t really
care
66. 66
7 Myths of Social Media Marketing
66
Myth #7: Social Media is a Great Way for
me to Talk
Fact: Social Media is an Effective Tool for
Listening. Talk Later
When entering social media, the first question
many people ask is “what should I say?”
The first question should be “Who should I
listen to?”.

10 of the Smartest Big Brands in Social Media
67
1) Blendtec Blends it on YouTube
In the video, Tom Dickson the CEO of Blendtec,
attempts to blend objects in their blender
This simple idea led to a “five-fold increase in sales”
Creating funny, original video and leveraging an
already large user base can be used to increase sales

2) Burger King and the Sacrifice Facebook Application
the “sacrifice ten friends” facebook application
This memorable campaign quickly went viral and was
adopted by over 20,000 users, sacrificing 200,000
friends for free whoppers

3) Starbucks Asks for Your Advice
To get a better handle on consumer feedback,
Starbucks did just that with “My Starbucks
Idea.”
By empowering their exceptionally web savvy
consumer, Starbucks strengthens their
campaign to add a personal touch to coffee.
Directly asking your consumers what they want
Acting on that information and doing it
publicly is key to the success of this campaign
71. 71

4) Sun Microsystems and the CEO Blog
Sun Microsystem’s CEO Jonathan Schwartz’s
blog received about 400,000 hits a month (in
2006)
It’s not the number of hits that make his blog a
social media success, but the openness on it
Positive and negative comments are allowed
Social media is a culture of transparency and
honesty that must be embraced, leading by
example is one of the best ways to introduce it
to a company.
73. 73
10 of the Smartest Big Brands in Social Media

5) IBM with Lots of Blogs
IBM capitalizes on the intelligence of their
employees to give consumers insight into what
happens behind the scenes
Users get to see how IBM operates, and are
given a direct connection with IBM employees
Leveraging your employees to write about
what they love conveys the corporate
dedication to the industry
75. 75
10 of the Smartest Big Brands in Social Media

6) Zappos on Twitter
Zappos use Twitter to highlight interesting facts,
and to talk to their consumers
Talking to Zappos is like talking to a friend that
happens to sell shoes
Ingraining social media into the culture of a
corporation means that every consumer
interaction is personal
77. 77
7) IKEAS’s Use of Photo Tagging in Facebook
Images of new furnitures were uploaded to
his Facebook photo album
Using the all-popular “tagging” feature,
customers were able to locate items in the
pictures and put their name on it
The first person to tag an object got to take it
home
In turn, thousands and thousands of users
willingly promoted IKEA and it’s new store
to others, creating a big win for IKEA

8) Ford and Social Media PR
Ford’s legal department sent out cease and desist
letters to forum owners using Ford trademarks
Obviously the story was twisted and changed, and
in the end people were outraged
What makes this a success story for social media
is that Scott Monty (Ford’s community manager)
was quick to find out what happened and let us
know the true story
81. 10 of the Smartest Big Brands in Social Media

9) Dell Doing it Everywhere
Embracing social media is a huge undertaking, and
involves a large investment
Dell didn’t shy away from these obstacles, instead
they’ve gone above and beyond, truly cultivating a
cross-platform community
They’ve created multiple Twitter handles, a network
of blogs, and are very active on Facebook
Creating cross-platform strategies can lead to the most
success, especially when your demographic is already
Internet and technologically savvy
83. 10 of the Smartest Big Brands in Social Media

10) Dunkin’ Donuts
Dunkin’ Donuts launched a program that helps
coordinate donut runs
The user creates a list of friends or colleagues
When that person heads to Dunkin’ Donuts, the
group gets an alert and can let the person know
if they want anything
The user can either print the compiled order
sheet or view it on their iPhone

How Social Media Changes
Technology
106
Change the way we store data
Shift from using traditional databases to new
databases, such as Google Bigtable
Shift from buying our own hardware to store
data to using Internet storage services, such as
Twitter uses Amazon Simple Storage Service
Change the way people reuse software
Shift from downloading codes to calling
functions through Web API (Application
Programming Interface)
107. Social Media Kills the Database
107
What do we want to do with social media data?
Store pieces of content for your website so it’s
easy to manage
Store content from EVERY website on the
Internet
Track your company’s financial transactions
Track every credit card transaction for your
multibillion-dollar banking conglomerate
Store an address so it’s easy to find by a unique
key
Store every photo on Facebook so it’s accessible
by a unique key
108. Social Media Kills the Database
108
What do we want to do with social media data?
Generate charts and graphs on how your
business did in the last month
Generate charts and graphs on key analytics
for every piece of Social Media on the Internet.
Analyze records of how people have accessed
your website and attempt to simulate their
behavior
Analyze every click ever made on MySpace
and optimize intrasite workflow
109. Problems of RDBMSs - Scaling
109
RDBMSs have made the modern business
possible: being able to slice, dice, and analyze data
in a neat, intuitive format is immensely powerful
The problem is that the price of processing data in
an RDBMS scales exponentially with the amount
of data
Getting twice the processing speed on twice the data
rarely costs only twice as much
Their solutions still require expensive hardware, custom
hash algorithms, compression, brittle analysis structures,
and the licenses are enormously pricey
110. Problems of RDBMSs – Data Format
110
In addition, developers have become crippled by
being able to only think of data in terms of Rows and
Columns
There’s a multitude of database paradigms: Graphs,
Trees, Objects, and so on
Databases limit developers to SQL, which is great for
certain kinds of set mathematics and not much else
In order to overcome fundamental limitations of DBs,
things like Conditionals, Iteration, String
Manipulation, and more have been hacked into what
was at first an elegant set mathematics language
111. Problems of RDBMSs – Algorithms
111
Algorithms (such as MapReduce) which make
data analysis scalable are highly unintuitive in
SQL
The limitations in the environment lead to a
limitation in engineers’ ability to solve “big data”
problems
People treat Databases as The Only Way To
Store And Process Lots Of Data, and this leads
them down the Road To Failure
112. Fundamental Problems of RDBMSs
112
The row/column approach limits you to one
static storage paradigm
Updating indices does not scale linearly
The more data you have, the longer it takes to put it in
You can’t delete data if your DB gets too large in a
production environment, so performance continually
decays until The Datapocalypse occurs (or you throw
more money at the problem).
There’s an immense amount of overhead with
transactions
113. Fundamental Problems of RDBMSs
113
The internals are totally opaque for most
DB solutions. Optimization, required for
any performance solutions, becomes a
“black art”
Backups are quite difficult to do – real-time
mirrored, or periodic deltas.
Normalization is the only way to keep data
sizes from exploding, but joins are
incredibly expensive
114. The Effect of Scaling Problems
114
Google (and Yahoo) once ran off of 40,000
MySQL Boxes (later replaced with minty
MapReduce/GFS/HDFS goodness)
MySpace has about xx,000 Microsoft SQL
Servers (with license fees) to serve their content
Facebook was spending $1,000,000/month+ for
specialized database hardware just to serve their
photos
115. Possible Solutions for Storing Data
115
One of the ideas we’re prototyping is a distributed
Key-Value store that we can perform set
mathematics on
For our analytics, we just need to support a handful
of operations
This could be built on top of HBase, Tokyo
Cabinet, Project Voldemort, or a handful of other
distributed data stores
116. What should be scrapping for Storing Big Data
116
Transactions
Taking time especially for big data
Joins
Nothing is more evil than normalization when you need to
shard data across multiple servers
Backup and Complex Replication
All of data should be imported from HDFS (The Hadoop
Distributed File System)
Consistency
If our users are analyzing millions of documents, they’re
not going to care if there’s 15,000 unique Authors, or
15,001
117. What is HBase?
117
HBase is the Hadoop database
Use it when you need random, realtime
read/write access to your Big Data
This project's goal is the hosting of very large
tables -- billions of rows X millions of columns -
- atop clusters of commodity hardware
HBase ia an open-source, distributed, column-
oriented store modeled after Google' Bigtable: A
Distributed Storage System for Structured Data
119. What is Google BigTable?
119
Bigtable is a distributed storage system for managing
structured data that is designed to scale to a very large
size: petabytes of data across thousands of commodity
servers
Many projects at Google store data in Bigtable,
including web indexing, Google Earth, and Google
Finance
Bigtable has successfully provided a flexible, high-
performance solution for all of these Google products
121. What is Amazon S3?
121
Amazon S3 is storage for the Internet
It is designed to make web-scale computing
easier for developers
Amazon S3 provides a simple web services
interface that can be used to store and retrieve
any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere
on the web
The service aims to maximize benefits of scale
and to pass those benefits on to developers
124. Software as a Service
124
Software as a service (SaaS, typically pronounced
'sass')
A model of software deployment whereby a provider
licenses an application to customers for use as a service on
demand
SaaS software vendors may host the application on
their own web servers or download the application to
the consumer device
Nine out of ten companies plan to grow their use of
software-as-a-service (SaaS) in the next year,
according to a survey by Gartner
126. Top APIs at ProgrammableWeb
126
API = Application Programming Interface
an interface that a software program implements in
order to allow other software to interact with it
127. Top Mashups at ProgrammableWeb
127
In web development, a mashup is a web page or
application that combines data or functionality from
two or more external sources to create a new service

Change the news channels
From hard copy of newspapers, TVs, and
radios to also using Twitter
Change how politicians communicate to
people
From just using TV, radios, or newspapers
to also using Twitter and Facebook
Change the way we teach in the college
classroom
There is the opportunity to engage with so
many different people instantly
132. Is Twitter The 21st Century News Source?
132
Twitter's constantly updating record of up-
to-the-minute reaction
Michael Jackson, the Twitter effect, and
the 'science' of reporting
