Darmano: On the Conversation Architecture

David Armano writes for Business Week and discusses the problem marketers are confronted with today. He says "A consumer can be any number of things—sometimes all at once. And that fact is driving marketers, businesspeople, and brand managers nuts. So what do we do? I propose we become conversation architects." But what it means to be a "conversation architect"? Using social tools such as YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, Ning, or those still growing, we have to "market to each other", in other words, it's not enough to communicate but facilitate the flow of information in all ways. Armano has a blog where he wants to complete the "merits of conversation, transparency, authenticity, facilitation, participation", etc. He builds up the discourse on social networks and internal/external properties. These questions arose at the end. Want to chime in?

Questions transcripted: 1. How will these initiatives relate to one another? 2. Will they be able to scale at the same rate or will some pull ahead of others? 3. How much redundancy will occur between them? 4. Will new tools need to be developed to coordinate internal/external and social activities? 5. What platforms will best be served for research vs. communication? 6. Which systems will demonstrate the most flexibility to adapt?

Bold Text -The Importance of Writing for Easier Readers' Scan

From our experience, we do know that writing web documents is a different process from writing for print, and if you simply move your print documents onto weblogs, you are not using the medium to its best advantage. Be aware then, If you are including textual information on your blog, you should rewrite or adapt your materials to the style of the genre.  Brad blogging is a good place to find online resources about how to write on your web site and he advises on many topics for those in the blog business. If you happen to visit Brad blogging, as you should do, you will feel immediately compelled to stay, browse, scan, and subscribe. Why? The presentation of his page is eye-catching, design, graphs, pictures, and the length of posts, so short that you won't spend more than a few seconds to get to the point. I encourage every blogger to write short posts, web readers are lazy and don't always appreciate to read long posts. So, you have to find ways of how to invite your reader
