Continuing from our Rogers diffusion curve discussion — my next question:

If 70/20/10 targets Innovators and Early Adopters primarily… where do they actually gather?

LinkedIn reportedly has 1.3 billion accounts, MAU around 340 million. Is that the answer? Melanjutkan diskusi kurva difusi Rogers kita — pertanyaan berikutnya:

Kalau 70/20/10 menarget Innovators dan Early Adopters utamanya… di mana mereka sebenarnya berkumpul?

LinkedIn katanya 1,3 miliar akun, MAU sekitar 340 juta. Apakah itu jawabannya?

Honest Answer First Jawaban Jujur Dulu

Yes, LinkedIn is one of the best "hubs" — but not the only one, and not sufficient if it stands alone.

If the target is Mbah's Innovators & Early Adopters, they typically don't gather in one place — they're distributed across several "ecosystem layers." Ya, LinkedIn itu salah satu "hub" terbaik — tapi bukan satu-satunya, dan tidak cukup kalau berdiri sendiri.

Kalau target Mbah Innovators & Early Adopters, mereka biasanya tidak berkumpul di satu tempat saja, tapi tersebar di beberapa "layer ekosistem."
