Social Media Strategies and Technologies

Jeremiah Owyang has written an excellent post on “Roadmap: Integrating Social Technologies with your Corporate Website” explaining why it’s important to integrate social content and experience into your corporate website instead of just throwing away the traffic to third party sites like Facebook, Twitter etc using follow us links.

At GizaPage, we have been working on building a social media hubs platform to help brands integrate their social content into corporate websites at multiple engagement touch points including http://social.BRANDNAME.com to give an unique social experience to their users or customers. This kind of integration helps brands to share content, nurture and cross pollinate their community across different social channels instead of just sending visitors to third party social site like Facebook or Twitter etc. In the long term, we strongly believe brands have to take ownership of their social identity.

Do check out social media hubs of our customers Fastrack, NASSCOM and Prathambooks. Please drop your feedback on what we are doing to vijay [AT] gizapage [dot] com

Here is a video about semantic web and captures insights from some of the best people like Tim Berners Lee, Clay Shirky and Chris Dixon etc on why it’s important to add meaning (meta-data) to the information to extract meaning (context) of it.
