It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way…Charles Dickens, ‘A Tale of Two Cities’

An Alternative: A ‘For-Profit’ Mindset“To mount a campaign to convert 6 billion people to love—which is essentially the role of charity—takes a lot of money… Raise the capital to promote the idea by offering a return on investment, hire the best people to manage the effort, and run the advertising to spread the word. You beat capitalism at its own game.”‘Uncharitable’ by Dan PallottaFind: http://www.amazon.com/Uncharitable-Restraints-Nonprofits-Contemporary-Perspectives/dp/1584657235

- 56. Know your audience: Psycho SocialgraphicsSocial CRMThe sociographics approach is a deeper level of target understanding: it focuses on the individuals who are part of the “target” (at least on the most influential ones), listening to their needs, values and behaviors directly. It’s an integration to the demographic and psychographics approach.Source: Dean Holmes
- 57. Know your audience: Psycho SocialgraphicsGoals and rewards – Consider the kinds of goals you might set and the rewards that may be earned by users who reach them. These might be personal goals and reward levels, tasks, challenges, or points. Or social goals and rewards, resulting in status, ranking, visibility, lists, features and spotlighting members.Moods and feelings – Give expressive users ways in which to communicate their moods and feelings. For example, emoticons and gifts, or icons to be used and exchanged with friends or attached to messages and content. These gestures, while small, can be curiously compelling.Knowledge and learning – For users interested in research, information, bookmarking and more search and browse-related activities, provide ways to share discoveries. Capture those learned moments and make them visible – perhaps surface and validate experts and top contributors.Giving and receiving – For users who enjoy social transactions provide gifts and a means of passing them around privately and publicly. Gifting is a highly social form of communication, and besides being kind, engages a sense of reciprocity in most of us. So it’s naturally contagious.Helping and assisting – Some users are just naturally good at paying attention to others, and enjoy helping and assisting those with needs or questions. Design ways to surface these needs and create channels by which helpers can pitch in.Reviewing, recommending, and rating – Users equipped with opinions and a sense of taste can make valuable reviewers and recommenders. Design ways capture their contributions and social content. This can be designed then into lists, favorite, trends, news and more.Asking and answering – In a world of search, there are still many occasions when users want to ask questions and get personal answers. And in a world of search results, there are those who enjoy sharing their knowledge, expertise, and help. But questions disappear if they are not captured and paid attention to.Announcing and sharing – There are users so on top of news that furnishing them with means to announce their discoveries makes for an easy and effective way to keep social content fresh and interaction active. Topical organization, along with trends, help users sort and filter what’s relevant to them. Sources: Beth Kanter, Adrian Chan & Jennifer Aaker
