Revolution Now - Social Media

It gives me goosebumps when I think about what is happening right now as I write this blog or you reading it. We are going through a period in the history of humankind that is revolutionizing the way we relate, engage and communicate with people across the globe and in space. The barriers of color, cast, culture, and creed fade away in the social web and we all can relate to one another as fellow human beings.

Some of the things that stuck as I watched the video are

• Social media is about people
• It is the number one activity online, an astounding feat when you consider who comes second
• It has an impact on offline behavior
• Transactions for virtual  goods will surpass those for real goods in near feature
• Peer recommendations are the way to go
• Compared to conventional advertising, social media marketing has a very long half-life.
• Facebook is Huge.
• Business will have to adapt to survive.

In order for business to adapt and survive, they would need new tools, new outlook, new planning new methods... Just as Erik Qualman had said, "We don't have a choice on whether we do social media, the question is how well we do it."
