| IWOM Watch | IWOM Watch Compilation 2011 | ||||
| 31/01/2012 | Looking back over 2011, we can draw on a number of examples that highlight a sea change in China‘s IWOM environment; the evolution from social media to social business. At CIC, just as we pioneered the industry implication of IWOM in China, our championing of the social business concept is a conscious, ongoing effort to drive our industry into exciting new areas. The first installment of our three part white paper series, ―From Social Media to Social Business, was released in March of 2011. It was our aim to inspire and encourage enterprise to embrace a golden opportunity to transform the relationship between commerce and communication. Not only that, we wanted to show how social business intelligence can inform the strategic remodeling of communication and relations, not only between brand and consumer, but also corporate organization and overall business operation. We can now begin to reflect on our claim that the business model of every enterprise and organization in China would eventually evolve to meet the age of ―social business . So, at this opportunity to take stock of a transitional period for enterprise in China, to what extent is business now social business? |  |

| 19/04/2010 | First, in New Wave of Online Entertainment we highlight how new forms of entertainment are becoming popular among Chinese netizens. For example, netizens are now initiating ‘quick’ offline events online, rapidly sharing their favorite links using Zhuan Tie, spreading and popularizing online memes and many more examples. Second, in Spotlight on Social Media, we give examples that show as China’s social media continues to develop and plays an indispensable role in Chinese netizens lives, netizens can now do almost anything online via social media. Finally, in the last section titled the Cutting Power of Online Communities, we show how brands need to be more reactive to the events happening around and about them online, both so that they can create a professional image online and so that, if the need comes about, they know how to react to possible PR crisis's. |  |

| 15/02/2009 | No question, 2008 proved to be a historic year for China. Netizens made the 2008 Beijing Olympics the most "Web 2.0" in the Games" history through a variety of channels which serve host to the massively active Chinese Internet Community. 2008 also saw SNS gain even more prominence within the Internet Community landscape as a place where netizens come together to utilize applications to socialize and entertain themselves. Finally, we see the continued development of social commerce. |  |

| 15/08/2008 | First we see “The Power of Connection.” The first several months, especially with issues around the Olympic torch and the Sichuan earthquake, demonstrated the impact of an increasingly networked society. In “Icons of Net Culture,” we see that in addition to a unique language, netizens have their own symbols and artifacts such as 囧(Jiong) that can impact fashion and art. Finally, net culture and platforms continue to provide creative venues and outlets for brands to connect with consumers, including offline meetups. |  |

| IWOM Watch | IWOM watch May Special Edition (Sichuan Earthquake) 2008 | ||||
| 30/05/2008 | We have put together a special IWOM watch report on the power of the Internet, IWOM and netizens. Perhaps more than 9/11, more than Katrina, the Sichuan earthquake is the prime example of how engaged netizens can play such a significant role in sharing and even shaping the news. From the Wenchuan native posting landing instructions for a military relief helicopter on BBS to Netease setting up an interactive map to make it easier to find messages written by victims and relatives, there is much to be learned from these innovative uses of Internet and Web 2.0 technology. The rest of the world should look to the Chinese response on the Internet as a model and as a source of inspiration on how to react in similar times of crisis. |  |
