In the past I’ve broken down what exactly social media is and if you are reading this post from a link on facebook or twitter and you make a comment below you are enjoying web 2.0. Yet people fail to realize this over and over and over and over and over AGAIN.
You found a great website and you copied the link – opened your email (aol/hotmail/etc) – pasted the link and sent it off to your friends. Then you add the site to your bookmark (for the computer you are on).
Then let’s move forward a few years:
You found a great website and you 1) leave a comment 2) stumble it to bookmark it 3) from the site post it to your facebook profile 4) ReTweet it 5) Digg/Sphinn it 6) then from the site you send it all your contact’s using your Gmail all why IM’ing it to your those online.
So, which one is better? For those who aren’t able to adapt to changing times and overall new technology I would insist on #1 yet the latter of the two shows us that the possibilities to connect with our friends / family / coworkers are endless and need to be looked at more carefully.
What say you?
