The key to these platforms is that they sell products directly, rather than tell stories about them. In the case of Nike+, the proof is in the numbers. Since its debut, runners have logged 100 million miles worldwide. Most important, the company's global running-shoe sales are up from $8 billion for the fiscal year ending May 2006 to $9.7 billion for the year ending May 2008, a 21 percent increase. Market share has gone from 48 percent in the U.S. in 2006 to 61 percent in 2008, according to SportsOneSource.
