Here’s an interesting opportunity for those who are getting bored with their current job. A social media solutions co. (can't say the name) is looking for a Social Network Marketing Director that will be based out of Toronto, Canada. The product provides social networking extensions that allow any branded enterprise to build online communities all centered on user generated content (from video to music). Exciting work and a great team.
The role involves product management, marketing and market intelligence. It also involves contributing to a long term product vision. Basic requirements include MBA, online marketing and preferred experience in designing, growing and managing social networks. If you are interested, drop me an email.
On the topic of social networking, here’s some news. Google is now quietly working on its own next generation social networking service called Socialstream. Google is sponsoring a play project at
Carnegie Mellon’s HCIC to “rethink and reinvent online social networking.” The project is called Socialstream. The project goal is to “create a system for users to seamlessly share, view, and respond to many types of social content across multiple networks.” We are talking about cross media social search. The strategy is a logical one. It basically aggregates content across many different networks so a user has a single location to discover new content and communicate. The big idea is that it will present social information in a way that ties it to the person who upload the information, and not the site from which it came. So it connects back to either the creator or the owner. I can think of many vertical applications and I have a few good ideas on how you can beat Google in that. Meaning, if we move fast enough to build a prototype to sell to them we can make a few bucks before Christmas. Interested?
