Since I started reading Naked Conversations by Robert Scoble (not yet finished, because I am very slow), I have been wondering how a blog can be used as a corporate communication tool, especially as a customer contact center. One of the difficulties with using a blog is, however, that any visitors can be anonymous and the comments can be irresponsible. Yet I’ve seen many corporations hesitate to use direct conversation tools such as BBS, as their way to directly communicate with their customers. Historically the corporations have, then, preferred the dialogue to be offline rather than online, which is often public. The inquiries have been handled by telephone and kept private. But now with the ever growing blogosphere, that will be less and less the case as we’ve observed such claims brought up in the blogosphere and got public and largely visible like in the case for Dell made by Jeff Jarvis last summer. That means the corporations will be more and more required to publicly talk with customers online or the dialogue gets public even/especially when they don’t want to. If that’s hard to accomplish overnight, then why not try the somewhat interim solution?
Then I thought of MIXI, Japan’s orkut, which I believe can be modified for that purpose. For, at MIXI the contents are open only inside MIXI (yet quite high in reach), all the participants become member via invitation and identified to some extent, and less worry about unidentified or irresponsible comments. Therefore, the corporations can be more aggressive and honest in talking with the customers, while maintaining quite a high reach. Note, as of this writing, its cumulative membership is 3,360,970 (including withdrawals), representing, in terms of subscription, about 33% of Japan’s largest newspaper, Yomiuri Shinbun (=10,082,425 copies). Inside MIXI, fan communities are abundant and run by, of course, volunteers: YouTube (2,596), COACH (fashion accessories, 5,074), Nintendo DS (6,388), SKYPE (10,564), to give you a few example, note: the number inside () is membership.
Suppose if MIXI were to offer the corporate services such that the corporations officially can have the direct contact point with its customers (blog-alike posts and comments, akin to the personal diary it currently offers for conventional users for free of charge), while making posts and communities searchable via its internal search engine. Then, at a premium, it might even offer the service pretty much like Google’s adwords or overture listing ad, with the search results highlighted at the top of the page inside MIXI.
I believe then it, in a way, answers the scale issue of the social networking ad that Jason Calcanis raised (via MIT Advertising Lab)
The problem with event-marketing is, of course, that it is very expensive (think $100-1,000 a person) and you can only reach a small number of people at a time (think 100-1,000 people). Compare that to a TV commercial, radio ad, or Internet ad where you can reach someone for pennies a person–and millions of people at a time. Clearly the future of social networking is making online event marketing scale.

mixiGraph…
While I have not been explicitly conscious about mixiGraph until a few days ago when one of my MAIMIKU, Ben, introduced it in his diary at mixi, I would say mixiGraph is such an amazingly powerful tool. It shows the diagram of your MAIMIKU families.

Virtually all of what you articulate happens to be astonishingly accurate and it makes me wonder why I had not looked at this with this light before. Your piece truly did switch the light on for me as far as this particular issue goes. Nevertheless at this time there is 1 issue I am not necessarily too comfy with and whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the main theme of the issue, allow me observe what the rest of the visitors have to point out.Well done.

appropriate. Base your jewellery off of your outfit and what is going to complement it, and you’ll be positive
to seek out the fitting piece for that big day.
Consequently a garden planted on best of a septic method
disposal field would demand watering in order for the plants to prosper.
Shopping for and promoting jewellery wholesale is a great way to make a revenue

help them become more stable as they re-enter society.

Danon jewelry for example, necklaces, earring, rings, bangles, and bracelets.
Danon jewellery is turning into more and more sought after and
is primarily stocked in unbiased UK boutiques.
After starting life in Israel, Danon have been steadily rising thanks to their household values and wonderful merchandise.
The corporate’s headquarters are situated in Tel Aviv, Israel,
and is owned and operated by plenty of members of the Danon household.
As Danon jewelry has grown, it has discovered a big export market
inquisitive about their products in the surrounding world.
