Creating Compelling Customer Experiences with Social Media 
Social media has become a significant aspect of many websites, internal Intranet sites and site redesign projects. Many users are consuming content coming directly from social media sources and many more want user generated or informal, helpful, advice-oriented content. 

For example, social media has overtaken porn as the #1 activity on the Web (Reuters 2008) and more than 1.5 million pieces of content are shared every day on Facebook (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photos, etc.), according to Facebook.

How should you be thinking about social media for your specific site? How can you use social media techniques to benefit from improved credibility, trust and community? What type of content should you include in your social media strategy? How should navigation be designed to best capture social browsing?

Topic:

Social media offers credibility, community and trust. A recent study by Nielsen Global (July 2009), showed that 90% of consumers trust peer recommendations, with trust in traditional advertising dwindling. Both advertisers and Search Engine marketers are realizing that the massive shift to social media is essential to existing search engine optimization strategies. 

In this seminar we will look at social navigation, social content and the social user experience. We will review important aspects of social media that are most strategic for sustaining a positive customer experience. We will focus on areas where social media makes sense for your site, based on competitor best practices. Finally, we will focus on rules for managing social media in order to create a compelling customer experience.
