Social Web Ecosphere - Are You Connected?
It sure is exciting times here at Cisco. I am really happy about how everything is starting to connect, whether it is social networking or home media entertainment. I am Mike Chen, senior user experience designer at Cisco Media Solutions Group and I would like to share with you how I use digital media. In this post, I made a diagram of what I call my “social web ecosphere”. The ecosphere is how I syndicate and broadcast both my user generated content (UGC) and professional entertainment content to multiple audiences.
I use this “social web ecosphere” to achieve my goal of keeping assets in their respective places (i.e. photos on Flickr, videos on Vimeo) while syndicating them to my three main points of engagement: Facebook, Twitter, and personal blog. Not having to upload the same vacation photos a bunch of times so everyone can see them is sweet, but what’s even better is that now things like my Hulu favorites and tracks from my audio blog are also in the mix.
When it comes to syndicating your entertainment content choices and UGC, one should always be mindful of potential cross-pollination of audiences and only push content that is relevant. My Facebook friends might care slightly about my latest Xbox360 achievements, but feeding a "Grim Reaper" achievement to a corporate blog... well you know what I’m getting at.
So check it out folks, and If you have any questions or specifics that you might be interested in, feel free to comment below. Cheers!

The chart looks confusing to me but maybe I am not as smart as you corporate folk, hehe. Keeping track and setting all this up gives me a headache, I’m just going to watch TV now.
