The 28 Flavors of Online Conversation in 2010 [Infographic]

Following up on yesterday’s 2010 map of social networking, here is a palette of The 28 Flavors of Online Conversation in 2010.

It is the full 2010 online Conversation Prism, created and regularly updated by Brian Solis and creative agency JESS3. I found this on Fast Company’s Co.Design.

As the caption underlines, the state of online conversation evolves and grows and so is this palette.

Where To Now?

Hello!

I’ve been away for a long time… A few things have changed, including accepting a full time job focused on content in a PR company.

So the question is critical: what to blog about now? Please bear with me while I finish figuring this out. It may take a more story-telling turn or a visual/design approach. I strongly believe in telling the stories behind the known facts — like the personal stories behind great companies or amazing people, for example. I also am of those who think that informative visualizations (i.e. infographics) is key in today’s communication modes.

Personal. Human. Infographics. Design. These are the directions the editorial path may take. Do suggest if you have requests or wishes, find me on Merrybubbles

Let’s move forth!

So what they did is to involve their Old Spice character into Twitter conversations and challenges. Watch those two videos, you’ll see what I mean and why Old Spice is trending high on the chirpy platform:
