random bits of micro-content goodness from greg verdino: marketer, futurist, speaker and author of microMARKETING (mcgraw-hill / 2010)
Five of the six biggest sites on the web are inherently social. the one that isn't - Amazon - has been a pioneer in personalization and basic social shopping functionality (ratings, reviews...) Not surprising but interesting.
And a cool infographic...

Just a heads up that I'm in this week's issue of Bloomberg BusinessWeek. Find a copy and check it out. Photo courtesy of @adamcohen.
Really Facebook for stats nerds or data visualization geeks, but still funny stuff from @joshsundquist.
Who's ready for a workday field trip? It's gonna be a good one. On September 27th, I -- in conjunction with David Vinjamuri's Thirdway Brand Trainers, Powered and New York University -- will be hosting a half-day microMARKETING symposium (hey, that's just a fancy way of saying meeting with presentations) at NYU's Kimmel Center in the heart of New York City.
For just $29 per person, you'll hear fantastic speeches from Coca-Cola's global director of interactive Michael Donnelly; you'll learn from Jason Sadler how his company, I Wear Your Shirt, uses one of the most micro marketing approaches I know of -- each client pays him to wear their logo t-shirt for just one day as he creates and shares lots of microcontent with his social graph -- to deliver real results. You'll hear my new conference keynote based on the book. And you'll glean lots o' insights during the closing panel, during which the guys behind three of my favorite stories in the book -- By Lauren Luke, Walmart Eleven Moms and B&H Photo-Video -- will talk about their firsthand experiences with micromarketing approaches.
If that's not enough value for a measly $29 (although the price will go up to $49 soon), you'll also get a free copy of microMARKETING: Get Big Results by Thinking and Acting Small, and -- if you're among the first 25 registrants -- David Vinjamuri's critically acclaimed Accidental Branding too.
In addition to great content and a couple of nice freebies (oh, and we'll feed you while you're there) this event promises great networking with other NY area marketers, a perfect chance to educate your whole team on social media and micromarketing, and a great way to impress your clients. Bring 'em all!

The room holds 150; 50 seats will be reserved for NYU students; so space is limited. Grab your seat today.
