To achieve the critical mass of users and ongoing participation rate required for ROI, you need to adopt a complementary top-down approach. While plenty of organisations have invested in social technology, and some have even documented social media policies, most corporate social media activity appears to be driven from the bottom up.

Even if the ROI argument is plausible for the handset, the ongoing connectivity costs would probably be deemed prohibitive. On the other side of the coin, many corporate organisations are reluctant to buy into their own m?learning. Think about it: how many companies would be willing to purchase an iPhone for each of its employees?

Time will tell whether ROI is achieved. Not only was the glory of Canberra amplified throughout the social media metasphere, but the initiative itself was the subject of interstate media attention. My prediction is that other tourism boards will copy the Human Brochure concept, and that will be the ultimate endorsement.
