Web 2.0 Marketing is, well, different…

In case you were wondering how different, Murdoch sums it up well:

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: WHAT HAS SURPRISED YOU THE MOST ABOUT THE MYSPACE EXPERIENCE?

Rupert Murdoch: The speed at which it has grown. It has had no marketing. Not a penny has been spent marketing it before or after the purchase, and it just grows faster and faster every week. Now we’re taking it out to other countries.

Thanks to Mark for the pointer. If his story was a few days late, mine is ancient… Oh well…

The point I think is that brands that have communities can establish stunning momentum and marketing efficiency over those that don’t. But all brands have communities. For so many those communities are sleepers or false in nature. (For some of my purchases I just want to buy, for others, I want to join — the vast majority of companies today miss the join bit).

One of the priorities then becomes activating the community – and a big part of that comes from empowering communities with tools and platforms on which they can participate. Activated communities have a low cost of customer acquisition.

    – Having a large credit line may preevnt you from future cards since banks like to limit their exposure to a particular individuals. Some banks like Chase are to get approved for new cards. Citi does is sometimes, but not as frequently as Chase. I’ve had ~6 Citi cards open at 1 time, so you may be okay with 2 cards. I wouldn’t cancel your oldest card since the length of your credit history depends on the length of your credit cards. You should definitely use as a way to get approved for credit cards.@Tammy Horvath It is 95+ days to get approved for 1 business card after a previous business card application and 65+ days between personal cards. I would wait until the beginning of November just to be safe. Getting declined wouldn’t show up a declined on your credit report, but would show up as a credit inquiry. If you don’t want to wait until then you could try applying for a card and if it is approved your husband could also apply for the card.
