Engagement is a hot topic in 2008 — everyone wants it. Advertisers want to find engaged audiences to advertise to, sites want engaged visitors to interact with, and brands want engaged brand champions to help spread their message. But what is engagement online and how is it defined?

“And I’ve seen it all, I’ve seen it all…Through the yellow windows of the evening train…” Tom Waits, 9th & Hennepin
In the Tom Waits song “9th & Hennepin”, the narrator looks out the window from his train seat and creates his own story from the images that he is seeing. His story is unique to him because though others might see the exact same scene, they will process the information differently and come up with their own unique portrait. However, Waits defines his landscape very starkly “…And the steam comes out of the grill like the whole goddamn town’s ready to blow…” that should slant each viewer’s perspective of the scene towards painting a picture of despair instead one of hope.

When Todd Mintz finally convinced me to join Twitter at last month’s SEMpdx event, I’ll admit: I still wasn’t fully convinced. I’d been to enough search conferences in the last two years to hear @dannysullivan (for the uninitiated, the @ symbol means even Danny’s now on Twitter, too) bash Twits’ pithy burps of “content” more than once. But, I decided, what the hell, I’ll use it for a few weeks & give up on it, just like I did with Instant Messenger after my freshman year of college.
