Eight premises
A mixture of data, observation (and conjecture)
…and some conclusions on what this all means for brands

1. Real Time
![Page 5: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Imagine what attending school is like now

What this means for brands…
Obvious really – the right message can spread through the network like wildfire – but so can the wrong one.
Think like an editorial outlet
![Page 8: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
…but don’t newsjack

2. Semi - Anonymous

Private vs. Public

![Page 13: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What this means for brands…
The social data land grab could be reaching its end
However, the new networks are places of great user creativity. Learn the culture.
![Page 14: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Curated self
![Page 15: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Curated self?
The idea that young people don’t care about privacy is a myth.
Young people are incredibly sophisticated at crafting their identity
![Page 16: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Example #1
Mikalah described that she deactivated her Facebook account every day after she was done looking at the site. Deactivation was introduced by Facebook as an alternative to deletion; users could deactivate their content and for all intents and purposes would disappear from the site, but if they later regretted it could reactive their account and retrieve all of the content, connections, and messages.
Mikalah did this every day, which in effect made it so that her friends could only send messages or leave comments when she was logged in.
![Page 17: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Example #2Shamika took a different approach. As she explained… she found that Facebook contributed to drama by providing a plethora of past comments that could be used against people whenever a friendship or relationship turned sour. Thus, she preferred to minimize her risk by deleting every comment she received after she read it.
Furthermore, she’d write a comment on someone else’s page and then delete it the next day, presumably after they had seen it. Shamika’s constant deletion turned Facebook into a more ephemeral space, destabilizing the persistent nature of the space.

Hiding from search enginesTum bl r an d L J u sers sep ar ate w ords thr ou gh o dd spacin g in o rde r to fo ol sea rc h en g i nes.
Chinese users hide political messages in image attachments to seemingly benign posts on Weibo.
General Pretraeus communicated solely through draft mode.
4chan scares away the faint of heart with porn.
More technically astute groups communicate through obscure messaging systems. (insight via @kenyatta)

We are all increasingly security literate
![Page 21: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Young people lead the way
![Page 22: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
…and are highly technically literate
![Page 23: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What this means for brands…
Don’t be creepy (or assume your users won’t care)
But if collecting data, move towards more explicit CTAs
![Page 24: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
For instance…
![Page 25: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
4. Hyper visual literacy
![Page 26: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Photography is exploding
![Page 27: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Where are they located?
![Page 28: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Images spreads through the new networks with users are exposed to more than ever
![Page 29: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
An example
![Page 30: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What this means for brands…
Eye candy spreads! Make sure your sites are easy to harvest
Mobile makes images the most important medium
Take time to explore the visual web
![Page 31: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
5. Networks as cultures
![Page 32: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
For example, Tumblr
![Page 33: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Consider thefandoms
![Page 34: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What does this mean for brands?It’s not enough to look at the technical nature of each site or demographics
Consider the culture and don’t aim at individuals - think about the networks of users
![Page 35: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
6. Internet famous
![Page 36: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Internet famous
![Page 37: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Just Influencers?
…not exactly. Influencers online traditionally are more akin to bloggers
Internet fame is about what the network decides they like
![Page 38: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
For instance…
![Page 39: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
So just memes?
It’s part of it, but only part of it.
What it’s more a manifestation of the offline popularity contests that have already existed.
Internet fame is an end in itself
![Page 40: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What this means for brands…
Internet fame is a culturally closed world. Outreach is a little more problematic.
Instead identify breakout hits early for maximum success (velocity)
![Page 41: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
7. Social as human right
![Page 42: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Workplace use of Social Media56% of Generation Y will not workfor a company that bans social media (40% work for companies that do)
¾ disobey these work policies
![Page 43: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
But they don’t want to be tracked
![Page 44: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
…and they don’t have to be anyway
![Page 45: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What this means for brands andcompanies Context is important – content will be received within a time poor environment
The law of the playground exists in your company
![Page 46: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
8. What happens next?
![Page 47: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
“Snowden is 30; he was born in 1983. Chelsea Manning is 25. Generation Y started around 1980 to 1982.
But the signs of disobedience among Generation Y are merely a harbinger of things to come.”
Charles Stross,Foreign Policy, 28.8.13
![Page 48: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
“Generation Z will arrive brutalized and atomized by three generations of diminished expectations and dog-eat-dog economic liberalism. Most of them will be so deracinated that they identify with their peers and the global Internet culture more than the… nation-state.
The machineries of the security state may well find them unemployable, their values too alien to assimilate into a model still rooted in the early 20th century. But if you turn the Internet into a panopticon prison and put everyone inside it, where else are you going to be able to recruit the jailers? And how do you ensure their loyalty?"
Enter Generation Z
![Page 49: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
What this means for us…
If things continue as they are, an inevitable tension between the establishment and generation will result
Given the demographics at play this is unlikely to end well
![Page 50: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
…so in summary
![Page 51: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
1. Assume a critical audience
2. Be open (explicit)3. Learn their culture4. Examine them as networks
5. Work with them – not through them
6. If it’s not mobile, it won’t work
7. Work/home/online/offline distinctions are dead
8. Watch the demographics
![Page 52: Emerging Patterns of Social Media Use](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54537a48af795908308b5727/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
