Charlene Li Social Media Analyst and Groundswell CoAuthor Says on IdeasProject.com...



Charlene Li, social media analyst and co-author of Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies, says all our offline and online identities will be melded together. Li envisions a future in which a single device will connect everyone. For this to happen we need to resolve the convoluted mix that currently reigns among all the different platforms so that email, text, Twitter, the Internet, and phone can all be connected together and be under our control.





A video interview with Li about social media is featured on IdeasProject, a unique website developed by Nokia. IdeasProject is an online information space that provides a new way to interact with thought leaders and their big ideas about the future of connected communications.

We need social algorithms that can tease out what is important in our lives, said Li. This comes from getting information via the way we prefer to connect with others. I think of this algorithm as tapping all the implicit data that we generate in our lives, like where we walk, what we order for lunch, what we twitter about; and with this information we tease out an algorithm and paint a picture of who is important, what is important, and when is it important. Then the algorithm can make a recommendation to you.



The story of the Internet is the story of people and things connecting, said Valerie Buckingham, director of technology marketing, Nokia. In the last few years, we'sve lived through the history of these connections becoming truly social - expanding the definition of what it means to communicate: with each other (social networking); and with ideas, great and small (blogs and texting and tweets). That'ss why we'sre thrilled and honored that Charlene has shared her thoughts about social media with us.



For the next three months, visitors to ideasproject.com have the opportunity to submit their own Big Idea. Editors will be regularly highlighting their favorite ideas, and sending a Nokia N95 to the Big Thinker who was selected. We'sll also be featuring our favorite visitor-contributed Big Ideas along with the ideas of other ideasproject.com contributors.
