6. Sea of Shared Knowledge
I had (and still have) a dream that the web could be
less of a television channel and more of an
interactive sea of shared knowledge. I imagine
it immersing us as a warm, friendly environment
made of the things we and our friends have
seen, heard, believe or have figured out. I would like it
to bring our friends and colleagues closer, in
that by working on this knowledge together we can
come to better understandings.
Tim Berners-Lee (1995 @MIT)

Measuring Social Media ROI is
just the start of the answer
to the broader question:
"How do I measure it?"
Ultimately, you need to start
with figuring out your
business objectives and
then apply these metrics
accordingly.
Most die-hard fans are simply looking for people who share in their interests. Help them come together with events, online groups, email lists -- anything that makes it easy for them to meet one another. Once you've made the meet-up possible (online or off), you can get out of the way and let them do the talking.
