>> From BrandIntel: Collective Intelligence: Understanding the Mindset of the Online Consumer Through Predictive Insight
-----------------------------------------------------------
Consumer-generated content WOMM is quickly overtaking traditional media as the primary source for product information and marketing. As a result, social computing has quickly grown to become an intrinsic part of the marketing mix. This paper discusses what organizations should do to survive in today's world of social computing, where success relies upon understanding consumer behavior patterns and product trends.
The fact that social computing crosses all age, gender, and geographical boundaries provides an even more compelling reason to find ways to track relevant consumer-generated content. While marketers recognize the pervasiveness and relevance of consumer-generated content generated through discussion forums, blogging, podcasting, wikis, collaboration applications, and other peer-to-peer activities, few have been able to understand how to tap into the mindset of this ever-growing, global "focus group."
