Jun 26, 2008		 "UGC in context= 1) collective action - whole greater than sum of parts; 2) sense of place - comm. exists apart from ind. members" #

Jun 26, 2008		 "Resilience is better than planning." "There are more of them than you." #
sharakarasic (123)

sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Summary: 1) Don't cross the streams; 2) Context is hard; 3) Design modularly for emergent use; 4) Build in right order #

Jun 26, 2008		 Consumers generate more revenue based on what producers do. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 "BUT - the consumers of content generate multiples in revenue - ppl who interact w/ other users click on more ads." #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 "If u look at just ad-based rev. - rev. generated by ppl who make the content - they don't generated more rev. than others." #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 "How do you measure success? - Need to know this & design the producers' role around this." #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 @frandallfarmer "They're always really shocked that a community guy asks about their business model" #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 The overlap bet. consumers, producers, & providers generates the traffic: ex. YouTube. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Maximized value creation=intersection bet/ consumers, producers (UGC), & provider value. Optimize for these 3. #

Jun 26, 2008		 "When Yahoo Local was tied to a social network, 40-60x increase in reviews if user saw friend's review." #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Consult w/ social media experts, do customer research, & review competitive designs/sites to do context right. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 "Context is hard." Best practice: match user desires w/ correct platforms configured in the correct contexts & TEST w/ customers. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Instead of ratings or reviews, correct platform for TV show community would be MB's or wikis. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Movies are more like "local" - rate once then forget about. But for TV, ppl want 2 talk abt shows, create extensions to TV content. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Result: page of 1000 stars. RF recommends: show avg. rating. Error: TV not like movies. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Context error: wrong platforms & scales. Ex: USTV redesign - each TV program treated like movie w/ UGC ratings/reviews. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Re context of ratings: Structure of app determines results. Do u want objective ratings or just show what's good? #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 "UGC tags=subject line. Make sure user post has To: equivalent." #

sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 No such thing as a global "sports" context. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Yahoo Sports wanted blog posts to surface everywhere in search via tag. BUT - posts were written assuming a specific page. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Context error: ignoring social boundaries. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Context for newsfeed = "what I did on the network." Different context: User shares set of photos from trip vs. posts single photo. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Context for blog = "what I think is interesting enough to share for comment within my context" #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Common context error: combine user newsfeeds, blogs, posts into 1 stream. BUT - different contexts 4 each. Don't cross the streams! #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 "Most sites don't have community context - almost never is foobar.com a context." "Is language a context?" #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Common community contexts: person/user, group of ppl/users, a network entity, a collection of entities, a site or group of sites. #
sharakarasic (123)
Jun 26, 2008		 Re search: "there has been a steady increase in the average size of query" #
sharakarasic (123)
