While many today focus on the latest whiz-bang application, its critical to acknowledge that people use the Internet with well researched and defined behaviors. Behaviors define the distinctions between Web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. These behaviors, which can significantly influence opinion and belief formation linked to actions, do not take place in the isolation of a single channel or tactic. An understanding of how traditional Web 1.0 behaviors such as search and e-mail are being extended to emerging Web 2.0 activities such as blogging, social networking, multi-media sharing and taking shape with ubiquity with Web 3.0 is the foundation for appropriate technology adoption and investments. Web 1.0: Web sites, news portals, search engines, email listservs (distribution lists), interactive online survey and calculator tools, etc Web 2.0: Blogs, social networks, micro-blogs (twitter), Multi-media indexes (YouTube), Widgets, etc Web 1.0 and 2.0 distinctions are primarily behavioral. Web 1.0 behavior is about proactively seeking and collecting, while 2.0 is about establishing your interests through profiles and behavior which then allows content to find you.

Identify and evaluate the channels stakeholders use with target audiences awareness, first inquiry, choice work and belief forming actions our research shows the measurable audience behaviors through these phases and the stakeholder tactics used to influence those behaviors. This model uses well researched foundations of risk communication and is adapted from the Daniel Yankelovich model of opinion to belief to action process (cite: http://www.annenberg.northwestern.edu/pubs/violence/viol5.htm) By overlaying the psychological tenets of converting awareness to commitment with wellresearched online information gathering and engagement behaviors you can evaluate and model online environments and associated technologies from the perspective of how related issues will influence target audiences. Emerging new media technologies are enhancing, not replacing, these foundational behaviors in some cases shortening processes but rarely eliminating core components. We superimpose these with organizational goals, industry and target audience behaviors to generate appropriate and measurable tactical options within the context of a clear, research driven strategic framework.

Social media (Web 2.0) does not replace search (Web 1.0) they build on one another. While substantially more time is spent on social media (Web 2.0) activities daily search and websites (Web 1.0) still matter: Three (3) billion searches conducted daily on Google alone 300-400 million visitors (user sessions) on Facebook 20-30 million visitors (user sessions) on Twitter 8-10 million visitors (user sessions) on LinkedIn www.v-Fluence.com http://royal.pingdom.com/2011/03/25/social-networks-one-million-visitors-per-day/ http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-google-search-is-still-growing-2012-7 http://www.zdnet.com/blog/facebook/facebook-is-destroying-google-in-time-spentonline-chart/4183

The hallmarks of an effective online campaign include effective (usable, accessible and visible) content validated by relevant influencers and shared via compelling audiencespecific tactics.

Focus and clear scope associated with interest within a topic can yield the most useful information. What terminology and associations exist (and dont exist) helps determine the right keywords to use and tactics needed. The Web remains literal and is not yet semantic so language matters. Consumer language often differs from industry or professional terminology. First inquiry and choice work search interests need to be identified and addressed to appropriately develop and position content for influence against specific goals.

Using well documented behavioral analysis, reported search engine market share and weighting based on eye tracking visibility data we can use search volumes by topic category (brand, product or related issue) to generate a weighted influencer list showing influential pages and combine page website weighted influence/visibility.

Early semantic application examples: Pandora (March 2010) had 48 million users who listened to an average 11.8 hours per month Netflix (Jan 2010) has 14 million subscribers now downloading more content than consuming via mailed disks. Semantic aware applications allow meaning to be inferred from content and context. The promise of these semanticaware applications is to help us see connections that already exist, but that are invisible to current search algorithms because they are embedded in the context of the information on the web. http://horizon.nmc.org/wiki/Semantic-Aware_Apps http://www.trueknowledge.com/ Smart objects are the link between the virtual world and the real facilitating the concept of the Internet of things. A smart object knows about itself where and how it was made, what it is for, who owns it and how they use it, what other objects in the world are like it and about its environment. Smart objects can report on their exact location and current state (full or empty, new or depleted, recently used or not). Whatever the technology that embeds the capacity for attaching information to an object and there are many the result is a connection between a physical object and a rich store of contextual information. Think of doing a web search that reveals not pages of content, but the location, description, and context of actual things in the real world. http://wp.nmc.org/horizon2009/chapters/smart-objects/ http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080408120106.htm http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/articleview/4326/2/1/ The vision for the future of smart object technology is a world of interconnected items in which the line between physical object and digital information is blurred. Applications that tap into the Internet of things, as this vision is called, would assist users in finding articles in the physical world in the same way that Internet search engines help locate content on the web. Reference materials, household goods, sports equipment: an actual instance of anything a person might need would be discoverable using search tools on computers or mobile devices. Further, while looking at an object, a prospective buyer could call up reviews, suggestions for alternate or related purchases, videos of the item being used, and more, as well as finding out whether something similar lay forgotten in the garage back home
