"make your website mobile"

ZDNet reports on "research" that finds that websites provide 7 times more sales leads than "social media" but the writer doesn't appreciate the self-irony in the second paragraph: "A company’s corporate website was found to be the top source of new sales leads online — second only to personal referrals.." As B2B continues to adopt social business, more word of mouth, i.e. personal referrals, happens online. Another reason I'm calling out this post is that it misinforms readers by treating "sales leads" as a homogeneous category. Our clients don't care about general adoption; what's more relevant is adoption by their prospects. This post treats all leads as the same, so it's really the equivalent of informational fast food. To end on a dour note, misinformation can work to your advantage because your rivals may read it and believe while you can see through it, invest and pull ahead.

How Social Actions Have Pulled the Rug from under Banner Ads: Facebook's development schedule epitomizes the "white water, fast iteration" approach to serving company and customer. Although its mishaps are legendary, it succeeds in consistently fielding a mind-numbing array of features, so it is difficult to keep up and very easy to miss the significance of things. To whit, very few people people have noticed that Facebook has quietly revolutionized banner ads through a feature that is maligned by users but gold for marketers. This feature has created two opportunities for e-commerce marketers: a new means of inexpensive market research and an easy way to improve relationships with their viewers. Read on to do this to your competitors before they do it to you. ::03.10.2011

"We want to make our website more relevant by incorporating social media and mobile." I hear this all the time, and it is a good, adaptive impulse that nonetheless misses the real question, which is, "What is the role of a website now?" ::04.21.2011
