Social Proof in Real Time

by Bill

Found on  Chris Bro­gan’s feed this morning…an excel­lent exam­ple of how social media and Twit­ter specif­i­cally can be used by busi­nesses in the LA Times. Watch the video and read the arti­cle it is social proof that the opt-in/permission based tech­niques now being imple­mented work far bet­ter than the old ways. Con­ver­sa­tions work, engage­ment works, con­nec­tion works and the beauty of it is any­body can do it and any busi­ness that wants to suc­ceed from here on out will need to know how to use these and other tools not yet invented.

Also cool as Chris said is that the LA Times set up the video so it could be embed­ded in anybody’s blog or site just like YouTub not only does it spread the word about a very real exam­ple it also gets peo­ple to it’s site.

To read the whole arti­cle go to LA Times
