“The Future of Web Business with Social Media Success – for Leaders, Achievers and Believers”
Australia’s VERY FIRST Social Media Leaders Celebration Makes History
16 December, 2009 – Melbourne, Australia
Flash Mobs For Business – Australia’s very first Compilation Mass Viral Video Information Product was made in Melbourne tonight!
Hosted by Kylie Bartlett, Creator, Producer and Host of WebCelebTV, a compilation of Australia’s leading Social Media Business Entrepreneurs joined together to create an Australian and possibly a world-first video information product. Every attendee on the night ’walked the red carpet’ of Social Media Leaders and was interviewed byKylie, the visionary who conceptualize the idea.
“This is the true power of social media in motion - massive value from collaboration and collective circulation. The video is a game-changer for entrepreneurs who are ready to embrace the power of leverage that only the web can provide – and all for free” said Kylie.
Each attendee provided answers to the following questions:
What is Your Business About and What is your website URL? (printed on screen while following questions answered)
How do you help people?
What is one great business tip you could share to inform and inspire other online entrepreneurs?
What is a prediction you have, looking forward to business online in 2010 and beyond?
The answers to these questions are what makes this video compilation so compelling. The single biggest challenge an online entrepreneur experiences is the isolation of working from home, on their own – often limited with insights and thought provoking ideas that can help cause a break-through in your business. Social Media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube bring you closer together and better connected on a regular basis, but still to get people to ’spill strategies’ like they did at the Social Media Leaders Celebration is taking social networking to a whole new level. There’s been nothing like it before but now it’s here, people WILL want it again and again.
The single biggest disappointment on the night were all those leaders around Australia who were invited but did not commit to it – they have missed out on the massive distribution of this compilation not only through the Social Media outlets online but also through Jennie Armato’s contacts and promoters, who she works with around the world. She is both very proud of the product created and also of the power of the lesson she will be teaching others, and using this footage as a reference point for the entire time she travels in 2010. “Just that leverage alone will get these people exposure beyond their wildest imagination” says Jennie.
Each attendee is provided with a copy of the compilation video for them to use in their own social media marketing and promotions too. The compilation will also be made available on YouTube, Viddler and other leading online video distribution outlets – providing extraordinary extra circulation, coverage and celebrity.
“The viral nature of social media will ensure that this compilation video is circulated and viewed by hundreds of thousands and maybe even millions of business people around the world“ say Jennie Armato, Head of Web Business Academy – Major Sponsor of the Business ‘Flash Mob’ video.
Jennie went on to say “When you consider that every attendee at this event will want to promote the video, they will not only be supporting and boosting their own business but these unique and powerful Australian entrepreneurs will show the rest of the world the TRUE POWER of collaboration and celebrity that is available (and in fact necessary, for every business owner today).”
ALL OF THIS POWER AND PULL for a mere $110 attendance fee (that also include canapes and drinks). Think about the TRUE VALUE of all of this, plus the ability to make personal connections and build trust for future relationships go forward into the 2nd decade of this Century.
IT’S YOUR TIME ENTREPRENEURS OF AUSTRALIA … MAKE IT COUNT!
These Australian Social Media Leaders contributed to the video products on the night and will enjoy the benefits of the global marketing push and viral marketing effect over the coming 12 months.
These web celebrities include:

Viral Marketing, Social Media Causes Flash Mob in Chicago … Oprah Winfrey screams “THAT IS SO COOL, THAT IS SO COOL, THAT IS THE COOLEST THING EVER!”
You’ve probably seen the clip of Black Eyed Peas serenading the 24th Anniversary of the Oprah Winfrey Show with a customized version of their hit song “Tonight’s Gonna Be a Good Night” performed in the streets of Chicago.
BUT … DO YOU KNOW THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY?
Watch this footage to see the celebration of their tribute song and how 22,000 people cooperated in a Flash Mob dance to their tune … then watch on for the story behind the story in the 2nd half of this video. (Oh, note the clever ‘product placement’ in Oprah’s hand – this Flash Mob celebration was sponsored by the phone manufacturer).
The Story Behind Putting the Celebration together – Social Media …
Viral Marketing via Facebook and Twitter bought this group of people together. Unusual stunts are a great way to raise awareness of your brand and product. Although you and I, at home or hotels in our bathrobe might not be able to pull off something of the same magnitude as Harpo Productions, you CAN use the power of Facebook and Twitter to connect with people and have them spread the word for you.
Flash Mob organizers and participants sometimes use Twitter to spread the word about flash mobs being planned. The group Flash Mob America used Twitter to promote their Janet Jackson Flash Mob in November 2009. http://twitter.com/flashmobamerica. Facebook is often used to promote local flash mob events. Organizers use this social networking site’s “Event” feature to spread the word of upcoming flash mobs and post updates and details for participants
Here are some insights on the power of Facebook, for you and your business. It has received some rave reviews and I hope it will do the same for you.
Also, here’s a cover story I recently wrote for Australian Business Solutions magazine on “The Truth About Social Media – Is it a Revolution or a Fad?” …
Set up for 2010 with Power, Influence and Friendship that will propel you and help you excel your business. I am really looking forward to it. No matter where you are in Australia, GET THERE! It’s mere hundreds …to tap into the Gold of the Minds of many successful online business people. See you there.
Australia’s leading Social Network, Social Media and Social Marketing Specialists are coming together to celebrate, motivate and support each other to Propel and Excel in 2010.
What plans do you have in place to make your 2010 great? Get connected, get supported and get into the FUN of Social Media marketing — DONT MISS THIS EVENT. http://bit.ly/7RlZyw
As it is for leaders only, total number limitation is 100 attendees so please accept my apology if you register too late.
Best for your success and I look forward to meeting (and then tweeting) with you.
Here’s a GREAT ARTICLE published in a back issue of DevWebPro that I found explaining the usefulness of Web 2.0 Application called “AJAX” and how to actually install it.
The ability to reduce the need to click is a quantum leap forward on web sites that helps your site stay packed full of the information you want to share, without your site visitor having to scroll for eternity or click through hundreds of times to get what they want!! It’s a site visitor time saver.
Web2.0 is a term coined to refer to web applications that run without visible page refreshes. A normal website functions by delivering pages of information, with links that allow a user to move from page to page.
A web 2.0 application, or AJAX application, runs on a single web page, and uses clientside javascript to initiate and process additional requests to the server. The additional requests run in the background and are invisible to the user; the end result is that the web application appears very similar to a normal computer program, and the user can continue to manipulate the application and application interface without having to wait for the additional requests sent to the server to complete.
AJAX is an acronym that stands for Asynchronous Javascript and XML. The interesting thing about AJAX is that the XML component is actually unnecessary, or rather optional. The important component is asynchronous javascript — this is the meat of how web2.0 applications work and the XML component is just one possible format for sending and receiving the additional data requests to the server. However, since this processing happens in the background and is invisible to the end user, you can actually build a web2.0 application using any format for the data requests that you wish.
The key to implementing an AJAX web2.0 application is in the XMLHTTP Object. The XMLHTTP objects exists in many forms, both server-side and client-side, and the purpose of it is to allow retrieval and processing of external web pages from within the coding application. Since we are trying to build a client-side web2.0 application, and since Javascript is the most widely available scripting application for web browsers, AJAX is the ideal implementation, and a good cross-browser Javascript code for instantiating the XMLHTTP Object is as follows:
When creating a web2.0 application, the idea is that whenever you would normally send data to the server and receive a response in return by submitting a form, or using a link to an external page, instead you implement it by using the XMLHTTP object to send the request or form in the background, and process the resulting data without causing the browser to reload. The XMLHTTP Object allows you to send requests synchronously or asynchronously, but since we are creating an AJAX application you will use asynchronous mode in almost all cases. When submitting form data, you can use either the GET or POST method, but in this article I will show you how to use POST with the XMLHTTP Object as that allows you the widest possible uses.
Once you instantiate the XMLHTTP object, there are four simple commands to creating a web2.0 application. The “onreadystatechange” property is used for asynchronous mode to define a function that is executed whenever the state of the request changes (such as when it completes). The “open” method creates the request and the “send” method send the request. Also, the “setRequestHeader” method is used to specify the format of the data that is being submitted. Here is some example code that shows how a basic AJAX application would work:
In this example, “/ajax.asp” is the page that is being retrieved, and “ajaxProcess()” is the function that is executed once the page is retrieved. The variables “p1″ and “p2″ are sent to the page as form data. You can of course send whatever data you wish according to what you need to do; just make sure that the ajax.asp file processes them correctly and returns the results. Define the ajaxProcess() function so that it processes the returned results, and updates the user interface to indicate that the request has been completed and updates the appropriate variables and/or the user with the new data. If you would like to see an AJAX web2.0 application in action, you can check out the web2.0 RPG I created, Apocalypse, found at www.apocrpg.com .
Using these methods, you can in fact send whatever data you want to the server and process the results, just as if you had used a normal HTTP request. The difference is that when done normally, the end user has to wait for each page to be loaded, which can be unacceptable if the user is on dialup and there are a large number of actions to be performed independently (multiple page reloads). By using AJAX in a web2.0 application, you can execute these actions in the background, and the user never notices the delays as he is able to continue manipulating your user interface while the page requests are processing in the background, invisible.
This type of web application wasn’t possible in the past, for two reasons. Primarily, the XMLHTTP object wasn’t available until recently, and also Javascript was not widely supported by almost all browsers as it is today. Now that background page requests are possible, it is likely that in the future all web applications will be converted or migrated to web2.0 / clientside AJAX applications. There are also innumerable web applications that simply weren’t possible or feasible under the old model, that we will undoubtedly be see appearing in the next few years, that could potentially be very successful. Your website could be one of these, so get started!

As soon as we understood the power of using AJAX on our web sites (including www.JennieArmato.com), I got our webmasters on to using AJAX on all our sites wherever possible.
