What is Social Media?
I can’t tell you the number of times in a week I am asked these questions:
- “What is Social Media?”
- “What is twitter? I see it all over now.”
- “Why does Social Media matter to me and my company?”
- And my favorite…wait for it…“Why does the world need this exactly?” Answer to this question and many others can be found in an article from Time Magazine, June 15, 2009.
Now, I don’t mind answering these questions, in fact I have been able to buy Tory Burch shoes and stay somewhat fashionable in these troubling times by answering these questions and many others. BUT, I have yet to find a way to answer the question in 140 characters or less. So, I have decided that going forward I will hand the curious my business card and direct them to my blog. It is either that or I will tell them to “Google it”, which by the way is my answer to everything now. Try it. When a child asks, “Mommy, why can’t I have 12 pieces of licorice before bed?” Your answer, “Google it” - I am sure they will.
So YOU don’t have to Google it, I wanted to share this blog/presentation sent to me by Phil Gerbyshak. It answers the question “What The F**K is Social Media”? – One Year Later” So friends, family and future clients ENJOY ….and if you have more questions…wait for it…Google it.
