The Dark Social: The Future of Sharing

As social media fatigue takes hold and more worries about privacy hit consumers we see the social media landscape changing. A recent study has found that 59% of all content sharing activity occurs via ‘Dark Social’, a place with no formal social network beyond true word-of-mouth, IM, SMS and email. This is the way that social will go in the next 3 to 5 years: underground.

This talk will help you understand this phenomenon, get an idea of where it is going and give you practical advice on how to identify it and integrate measurement into your social media measurement frameworks.

Why You Should Think Twice Before Shaming Someone Online
Social media has given us all more of a voice than we have ever had - and we're using it, for better or worse. Unfortunately it has become all too common to use that voice to shame someone we think deserves it. 

From the "Shit Parkers of Victoria" Facebook page to the @yesyoureracist Twitter account and #HasJustineLandedYet, there are no shortage of ways to call people out for questionable behaviour. 

Occasionally the shamer becomes the shamed. Is this enough reason to think twice before shaming someone online - maybe, but there's more.  Sometimes situations are not as clear cut as they appear and the repercussions of our actions can be long lasting.

In this eye-opening session Chris disects some well-known cases that have a lot more to them than meet the eye.
