“Social Media is Not a Fad” : http://bit.ly/3TVHoG

I hope you enjoy it.

The video is based on the new book by Erick Qualman, “Socialnomics: How Social Media Transforms the Way We Live and Do Business.”

The video is done in a way similar to Palmer DePaulis’ new presentation to the Legislature, Michael Wesch’s “Information R/evolution“, and the classic “Did you Know?” by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Brenman (rev. 1.0; rev. 2.0; rev. 3.0 ; rev. 4.0).

I think that it provides numerous implications for those of us in the business of creating online government services.

I’m particularly enthralled with Qualman’s idea that we need to disengage ourselves from building search tools and portals. Instead of people searching, Qualman points to the future as being one in which social media will deliver to people the news, information, products, and services that they want. This future, I think, is months not years away. You can already see this emerging in applications such as Facebook and Amazon.com.

What ideas in the video struck you?
