The Social Web: People Don't Share Facts, People Share Feelings

The Social Web: People Don't Share Facts, People Share Feelings | Techy Stuff | Scoop.it

I selected this piece by Kathi Kruse because I agree with what she's saying and I'm experiencing this myself everyday.

 

Intro:

 

"There's a major shift on the web and  a big change on social networks in how people spend their time.

 

**They're spending less time interacting with facts and more time communicating with people.

 

**this fundamental re-architecture of the web is going to affect almost all businesses, because almost all businesses revolve around people"

 

Excerpt:

 

"The new web means spending less time interacting with facts & more time communicating with people".

 

Here are some highlights that caught my attention:

 

**Whether it’s sharing a post on Social Media or sharing their experience in real life, people forward their “feelings” to their network, online or offline.

 

**Content that triggers arousing emotions drives that behavior

 

**Google unveiled the "Knowledge Graph" in May and called it the "First Sep in Next Generation Search"

 

**Google wants users to spend less tinme searching and more time interacting with their network

 

**What this neans for dealers is you must build your store's knowledge footprint.

 

**It's important how Google knows you. It's important how your customers/audience knows you

 

**Facts are no longer relevant unless they're perceived as coming from a trustworthy source.

 

**Facts about your business married with passion and personal experience equaols trust in your brand

 

This article reminds me of a great Ted Talk by Simon Sinek - People Don't Buy What You Do, They Buy Why You do it
