I have a question in relation to an earlier post where you said that: "As conversations are increasingly distributed, everything begins with listening and observing. Doing so, will help you identify exactly where relevant discussions are taking place, as well as their scale and frequency."

I nit pick on the word scale here. Only a small % of users will actually participate in conversations as we know from the Forester "Participation Ladder" (http://blogs.forrester.com/groundswell/2007/04/...) yet clearly there is value for spectators and joiners by simply consuming SM. Indeed some are in fact spectators purely because they don't need to create. In a well established forum, you can usually find what you're looking for just by searching old posts even though the searcher may opt to create if their question cannot be found. So while there may be only a small number of discussions / conversations / bookmarks / videos / etc if we simply measure this number (the scale which I think Brian is referring to) we are not obtaining a complete picture of the total value derived of a particular community. Perhaps it's not that: "In the social economy, relationships are the new currency." but that: "in the social economy, relationships and consumption of SM are the new currency." ? - There's probably a better way to phrase it but I hope my point is clear enough.

Getting back to the RW.. when developing a SM plan I find limitations using the Conversation Prism to fully account for this total value derived by SM in similar fashion. How can we account for and better yet, measure, the total value of a SM community if we cannot gauge the value derived by the spectator and joiner segment? For example, a blog post contained on BlogX may have no comments yet receive a large amount of views where as a forum may have a large number of discussions with very few views. The Conversion Prism would have us believe that these two instances can be compared directly - how? Often consumption numbers are hidden from view because we cannot see the number of page views or otherwise the number of times that SM 'stuff' has been consumed.
Any thoughts please?

Very interesting indeed. Could you describe how you created the social map? Do you have a firm methodology or is it simply of searching around for a long time ?

Thanks !!

Very useful indeed! But I can hardly idenfity some of those social media sites, not even on the bigger picture. Any chance to provide a better/bigger version like the original? Many thanks.

Wow. Thanks for re-publishing this prism. I had actually never seen it before. Very insightful and puts things into perspective for me, as a social media-focused publicist. As always, great analysis and commentary from Brian Solis.

Thanks for the Prism and for the post that presents it and explains it. I've been learning a lot by reading your posts lately, and will definitely continue

Thanks for redoing the prism Brian and Jesse - this is enormously insightful and (for me) the timing could not be better. The fact that you've made it free to download and share is a testament to your understanding of the social economy of which you speak. I'll be tweeting and recommending this to anyone within range.
