1. It’s all in the user interface. 2. The rise of Facebook. When NewsCorp bought MySpace, Facebook was a comparatively small sociable network limited to only schools still. Soon afterwards it was opened up and social networking really became popular, thanks to its clean modern interface and interactive features like gaming. MySpace just couldn’t compete. 3. Social media marketing and music don’t mix, yet.

While MySpace was a public network in essence, it almost sensed like it was built around music. Facebook is made around the true social interaction, and isn’t particularly great at music, but that hasn’t hurt Facebook one bit and perhaps even lead to its success. As we’ve seen from iTunes Ping, social networking built around music hasn’t seduced a huge audience yet. 4. The culture of NewsCorp.

Let’s face it, large corporations aren’t particularly observed for their development. Small companies headed by business owners push technology forward, but Big Inc. swiftness is that of a glacier. MySpace fast had a need to get better, but that never can happen in a large public company culture of Newscorp or any other, for that matter. This relationship was doomed from the start. 5. The march of technology. An online technology company seems to have a relatively brief life-span almost naturally. Already we’re beginning to see some user attrition on Facebook, which appeared as if a juggernaut that would only keep increasing its user base. In the final end, MySpace could have business leads the trend. Instead, it’s just a quickness bump in the public networking road. Can it be reinvented? Only time will inform.

In the section on Sustainable Growth, Liberty Global demonstrates strong improvement against 2020 environmental goals and details how it attaches with industry co-workers to lessen grid dependency and enhance the emissions efficiency of the telecommunications sector as a whole. In Empowering People, the narrative explains how Liberty Global continues to purchase and develop its labor force, which has now grown up to more than 65,000 employees (including outsourced employees).

Here again, a light sprinkling of case studies adds credibility. The statement surface finishes up with Liberty Global’s personal Performance Summary – two pages packed with four years of environmental, workforce, and other public data factors, the most essential ones for some stakeholders. Presenting data in such a concise and well-ordered way, is yet another element of skilled, focused reporting.

This demonstration empowers report users to get to what they want fast and see tendencies and performance ups and downs easily. As with prior years, Liberty Global publishes another GRI Content Index, also available for download. This includes one of my favorite tables – the G420-21 table – providing a road-map showing the route from material impacts to performance indicators. A lot of G4 reviews still fail to get this to bridge – and leave a summary of material issues hanging in mid-report without a link with the performance indicators actually reported.

Every G4 record should have a table like this. As far as reports go, Liberty Global has again produced a written report that is both short and empowering in more ways than one. I’d like to write more but I am worried that this post could actually become longer than the report itself .. And, as typical, a little disclosure: Liberty Global is my client and I did this survey.
