  1. “Digital anthropology is the study of the relationship between humans and digital-era technology, and extends to various areas where anthropology and technology intersect and it is sometimes grouped with sociocultural anthropology, and sometimes considered part of material culture. The field is new, and thus has a variety of names with a variety of emphases. These include techno-anthropology, digital ethnography, cyber-anthropology, and virtual anthropology.”
  2. Now more than ever they’re sharing experiences and journeys online. To accurately tell their stories, we need to understand and observe their native behaviors.
  3. and uncover what they’re doing, what they’re thinking, where they’re spending their time and why.
  4. Digital Insight techniques bring consumer attitudes and behaviors to life through quick real-time learning's that allow for authentic insights wherever; whenever. (I’ll get to examples on this soon)
  5. Studied how we operate in a digital world vs. real world (FTF v CMS communications)Explored virtual environments like Second LifeWrote my thesis on The Affect of Micro-blogging on Human Connectivity
  6. We Invents new products, services, business models & helps partners build in-house innovation capabilitiesThe Impact LabIt’s here where we’re constantly exploring new ways to better understand consumer attitudes and behaviors and using the digital landscape as our toolkit.At ?! I work in the Impact Lab where we explore and test new techniques to further evolve the innovation process – and for my part – understand better understand human attitudes and behaviors.For digital research and anthropology, this means exploring ways to understand the attitudes and behaviors of people through digital methods – either by observing their unaided behaviors or building online research environments for observation and interaction.
  7. PART OF MY JOB IS KNOWING HOW TO PUT TOGETHER AN APPROACH WITH THE APPROPRIATE TOOLSFLASH AN IMAGE OF AN EMBRARSSED WOMEN FOR NOT WANTING TO USE FOCUS GROUP FOR SENSITVE ISSUES
  8.

  9. (Back Tweets, HootSuite, Icerocket, Klout, Mention, Netvibes, Pinpuff, Social Mention, TweetDeck) (Syomos, Crimson Hexigon)
  10. ex: what if, we like to make this fun and being human and really enjoying this research)Learning what people are saying about your brand or industry isan important tool for determining an effective social media strategy. Focused listening will tell you which social networks your audience is most actively using and the general sentiment about your brands, products, competitors or industry.You have the ability toanalyze quantitative metrics (e.g. Volume of Conversation) and qualitative metrics (e.g. Sentiment of Conversation). Measure the Volume of Mentions about your brand or productbefore, during and after a campaign. Pay attention to the days with the greatest and least amount of mentions to understand which content was effective and which content was not. Additionally, monitor the Sentiment of conversation about your brand or product and adjust the content that you are posting accordingly.Listen to users who are constructively criticizing some aspectof your business. If you engage these users, you may be surprised to find that many are willing to offer meaningful feedback. Moreover, if you continue to foster these relationships you may find high quality leads for potential clients, up-selling opportunities or the development of brand ambassadors.
