Further Reading on Social Success Measurement of Enterprise Social Networks provides a framework for defining your social measurements Linked: How Everything Is Connected to Everything Else andWhat It Means for Business, Science, and Everyday Life byAlbert-Laszlo Barabasi (2003). Six Degrees:The Science of a ConnectedAge by Duncan J.Watts (2004). Watts was really the one who brought network science into the mainstream, and was bleeding-edge content at the time when LinkedIn, MySpace, Ryze, Friendster and others were in full swing, prior to the era of Facebook andTwitter.A must-read. Connected:The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and HowThey Shape Our Lives -- How Your Friends' Friends' FriendsAffect EverythingYou Feel,Think, and Do by Nicholas A. Christakis and James H. Fowler (2011) is an in-depth look at the power and possibilities of social influence, and specifically talk about the strength of a network over that of the individual. ReturnOn Influence:The Revolutionary Power of Klout, Social Scoring, and Influence Marketing by Mark Schaefer (2012) contains a lot of marketing fluff, in my opinion, but does a good job of outlining the strengths of various tools and consumer websites that create and monitor social influence data points. Understanding Social Networks:Theories,Concepts, and Findings by Charles Kadushin (2011) is more of a deep dive into the social networking platforms.There’s a lot to be learned about how these sites work, and what you can then translate into internal systems or strategies, such as through your gamification strategies.
