Sit on my Facebook and I’ll whack you up the Twitter. Financially.

A lot of people claim that they know this guy. There is no actual social media guru, he’s an amalgam of a hundred different half-assed guru-wannabes I’ve encountered online and in real life. For every quality operator who knows his/her stuff, there seems to be ten cowboys peddling social media snake oil.

Another new media rap from Chuck at Pop Labs. This time he raps about social media tools like Myspace, Twitter and Virb.
lyrics:
I surf the web, I used to watch TV
now I’m logged into Joost, it’s commercial free
lets see where I want to go
and who I want to know
connecting people with people with web 2.0
I don’t use email unless I’m at my job
want the next post, I subscribe to the blog
I’m easy to find
I’m always online
social networking sites, I think I have nine
I use myspace to promote my music
I get friends and album sales that’s how I do it
but tell me have you heard
about the new word
something like myspace but they call it virb
always something new, I’m a start creatin
I’ll make a brand new facebook application
uploading pictures and mp3′s
update my profile and hit ctrl D
can’t stop what I started, it’s getting ridiculous
social book mark it, add it del.icio.us
some can’t take it but I just can’t quit
go to Imeem and listen to my playlist
watching videos on my You Tube channel
clickin so much, my mouse smoking like a candle
I’m online for hours, addicted to the power
10 tabs open on a firefox browser
I must be going crazy cause I can’t get enough
I guess I’m addicted to social media

According to Ted Ulle, the Senior Search Analyst for Converseon, information architecture should be the bedrock of websites. Unfortunately, many people leave it out because it can be challenging. In this interview, Ulle discusses what effective information architecture should be and the evolution of both coding and social media.

I found this video on YouTube.  It gives a short explanation of social networking websites and why they are popular.  This video comes in an unbranded “presentation quality” version that can be licensed for use in the workplace from Commoncraft.

If you’re a business owner, would-be entrepreneur, or perhaps you aspire to start some kind of non-profit effort, as you watch this video, think of what you’re seeing from the perspective of how proper implementation of an effective social media  strategy would affect your effort to grow, and then compare it to what you’re doing now.  Can you see how for much less cost, you can potentially gain far more results?

Whether you use my services or those of any of my companies or not, for the sake of the successful future of your business or other online effort, I hope you’ll consider implementing some sort of social media strategy.

Michael Drew takes us into the world of 40-year cycles in our society, and the implications of “quantum media” for the way in which we’ll need to think about leadership in the current cycle.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*

Social Media Revolution 2 is a refresh of the original video with new and updated social media & mobile statistics that are hard to ignore, and it’s based on the book Socialnomics by Erik Qualman.

Ladies & Gentleman, as I said, you just can’t ignore these statistics.  Doing business as it was done in the 20th Century and before is just over!!! Newspapers and Yellow Pages companies continue to struggle.  Some are even shutting down.  The smart ones are surviving by slowly but surely moving themselves into an online version of themselves.  As this video shows in very much an “in-your-face” kind of way, businesses that don’t have an effective online strategy, including implementation of a strong social media strategy – are just not going to stay in business for very long.  That’s just the way it is.  Get on board with it, or develop a good relationship with your local bankruptcy attorney, because you’re going to be needing his or her services very soon!

Please consider talking to me or one of my representatives or affiliates about working with them as your social media manager.  The future of your business may very well depend on it!
