I want my potential blog to be something about how frustrated I am with the world right now. I go to bed frustrated about the gas prices, I wake up the same way. I want to have a civil hub for people to properly vent their frustrations. I’m not giving away my website name idea just yet, but I’m going to start one. I think I may be able to do it rather inexpensively. There is also a good way to make money right?

Chris, this makes a lot of sense, I know that as a customer I get super great service and feel like the business heard me and satisfies my needs I am a customer for life, I would remain loyal even if I had to pay more.

If you’re going to be a hit, you have to believe – really, truly believe – that what your audience needs is you.

Your personality, your dedication, your humor, your sensitivity, your smarts.

There is nothing wrong with embedding the very best of you in a product. Unless, of course, you’re lacking in personality, dedication, humor, sensitivity or intelligence, in which case no one would have given you the keys to the product.

This is how Jobs works, after all.

You make an interesting point about multimedia via the TV and its relationship to “social media.” Your point, “because only the presentation has the ability to communicate out. The people can’t impact the presentation.” I suppose we have lots of evidence to show that people NEED to communicate BACK to the presentation. Just look at the popularity of TV’s “American Idol.” People actually go to their phones to vote for their favorite entertainer during the time the TV show is “live.”

When Tim Russert collapsed in that NBC Studio, I believe someone close by got on a cell phone and submitted a tweet to Twitter.com about what had just happened. Hence, people around the world knew that Russert had collapsed before the news had hit the TV airwaves.

What is my point? My point is that while most multimedia presentations are designed to be one-way communication, it is possible (thanks to the Internet) to entice feedback.

For example, “If you have any questions about what you have just seen, call this toll-free phone number….” Or, “If you would like to learn more about this subject, visit http://cdmm.blogspot.com.” And, let’s not forget, “For the latest news on Thai cuisine, become a Twitter follower of Ting’s Thai Kitchen at http://twitter.com/tings.”

Granted, none of this may qualify as “social media” per se, but I do believe it is useful in building an audience.

@Ann – Funny you should say that about forums. I’ve got something coming for you, and it will be exactly what you asked for, in terms of content and tenor.
