"There is both tangible and intangible value contained in every conversation. Converting these conversations into economic value is both an art and science. Just maybe all this social stuff is fueling a new trade. The trade is possibly one of converting scalable conversational exchanges into creative ways to capture more value than we’ve ever been able to previously." - Jay Deragon

"The business plan works like this: Saysme.tv offers a service over the Internet that streamlines the submission process for homemade television advertising and offers cheap slices of cable-TV time — perhaps as little as $6 for a 25-second spot, assuming you are O.K. with appearing on CNN Headline News sometime next week in parts of Charlotte, N.C., in the wee hours." - Jay Deragon

"Based on Doc’s views and the emerging developments with ISP’s (Comcast) and Wireless Carriers (Verizon) the future of broadcasting may be a click away and upon us before we can comprehend. Systemic shifts in media, broadcasting and social computing is the pathway to a new world, new markets and never ending shifts in communications, relationships and connectivity.
To gain from these shifts requires businesses to think differently about their relations with market, or about Socialutions..
What say you?" - Jay Deragon

"Video consumes more network resources than any other media distributed on the Web. Even poor-quality video from YouTube eats up more bandwidth than e-mail, music downloading, and voice over IP services. And when you throw full-length high-definition video into the mix, you're talking about even more bandwidth. Depending on the compression used, a single HD video stream can eat up 20 megabits per second worth of bandwidth." - Jay Deragon

"While the term “broadcasting” means many things most think in terms of blogs, social networks and YouTube. The next leg of the social web will progress to enable individuals, groups and entire communities to establish their own “broadcasting stations” using live and on demand video.
The tools are already in place." - Jay Deragon
"Many people get perplexed as to “how” free can produce revenue. Traditional mindsets view the social web as a “mesh” of communicatons in which the only revenue model is advertising." - Jay Deragon
"While tactically speaking much of any social initiative requires a ready, fire, aim approach the overriding objectives need to be anchored in a more logical ready, aim, fire approach that is systemically tied to the overall objectives of the organization. Otherwise failure can cost a lot more than the cost of any social media initiative. Word of mouth spreads fast throughout the social web so do social failures." - Jay Deragon
"Maximization of resources, technology, knowledge and relationships will be the four primary elements required to make money from “free”. By maximizing these four elements you create new value centric to people’s needs and wants. It is this new value created that enables businesses to make money from the free because the free begets the attention to the value which people will gladly pay for. Not only will they pay for the value but they will tell everyone how much value they also received from the free." - Jay Deragon
"There is a new marketplace driven by conversations. Be careful not only with what you do but how you do it. The people are listening regardless of whether you are or not. What you say or do and don’t say or do is considered a promise. Your shareholders expect you to deliver or exceed on your promises don’t they?" - Jay Deragon
"As more and more video is available on the Internet, one question moves sharply into focus: What will happen to cable and satellite television providers? Do we really need specialized networks for our TV, or will the Internet be enough once someone figures out an easy way to get Internet video onto our TV screens?" - Jay Deragon
"As the industry debate continues about the relevance and effectiveness of advertising within social networking sites, recent poll results shed some light on consumer opinions about these issues. Prospectiv's poll of nearly 800 users of social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, Hi5 and others reveals that 87 percent surveyed feel that very few (58 percent) or none (29 percent) of the ads and offers they're currently seeing on social networking sites match their specific interests and preferences." - Jay Deragon
"As the Social Era emerges the fundamentals of advertising will shift from a game of impressions to a process of relational referrals. Relational referrals come from fixing a problem or satisfying needs know and unknown. Relational referrals have and will continue to scale with enormous influence, one to one to millions and that influence can create or shift entire markets at the click of a mouse." - Jay Deragon

"A new study says that the number of people who watch online video will top 1 billion in the next five years.
As my boss, Jim Kerstetter, points out, it's unwise to put too much faith in predictions like this, but this isn't too much of a stretch.
The rapid rate at which broadband is being adopted around the world will lead the number of Web video viewers to quadruple by 2013, according to a report issued Tuesday by technology research group ABI Research." - Jay Deragon
