Voor mijn werk heb ik dit overzicht gemaakt met als doel een breder beeld te creëren van wat social media en communities kunnen zijn voor collega’s die weinig ervaring hebben op dit gebied. Het dient ter inspiratie en is dus zeker niet sluitend of uitputtend! Er zit geen informatie in die specifiek is voor Achmea dus vandaar dat ik het ook hier publiceer. Alle gegevens en citaten zijn afkomstig van wikipedia of crunchbase.

Myspace
http://www.myspace.com/
Grootte: juli ‘09: 80 miljoen unieke bezoekers - juli ‘10 65 miljoen unieke bezoekers
Succesfactor: algemene social media website, van oorsprong gericht op muziek
Since 2008, user growth has stagnated and page views and other metrics have fallen. In April 2009, longtime CEO and co-founder Chris DeWolfe was replaced by Owen Van Natta, in a publicized firing. President and head of product, Tom Anderson, was kept on, but in a different position. Two months following this, MySpace announced it was laying off 30% of its workforce amounting to 420 people.

Foursquare
http://www.foursquare.com/
Grootte: 2.000.000 accounts
Succesfactor: spel-elementen toegepast op locaties en social networking
The Foursquare staff are very secretive about how to unlock many badges. There are a handful of introductory badges that are earned as milestones in usage. Some badges are tied to venue “tags” and the badge earned depends on the tags applied to the venue. Other badges may be specific to a city, venue, event, or date. Some badges utilize identical icons, but are earned differently. There are a few badges that are named similarly, but applied differently, specifically Far Far Away, Trifecta and I’m on a Boat.

SCVNGR
http://www.scvngr.com/
Grootte: +/-650 bedrijven hebben ‘scvngr hunts’ opgezet
Succesfactor: op locatie gebaseerde uitdagingen
SCVNGR is all about doing easy six-second fun things (challenges) at your favorite places with your friends. You play it casually, as you go through your daily life. Quick, easy, interactions at your own pace, casually through your day to make daily life a bit more fun. Scavenger hunts require you to stop your life, play a high octane game for 90 minutes, and then resume your life. Scavenger hunts rock! But… they’re very different from SCVNGR. (Also, we’ve got no vowels… so there.)
