The Social Media Revolution video I posted yesterday got some good dialogue going on my Facebook page, so I thought I’d bring it on over here.
A couple of my friends brought out some pretty interesting issues; the discussion went like this…
There’s so much great stuff in this video that I couldn’t not post it.
My question is what’s causing that shift in the first place? It’s partially technology, but as Clay Shirky says:
“A revolution doesn’t happen when society adopts new tools; it happens when society adopts new behaviors.”
My first post of "12 Songs You Need On Your iPod" was surprisingly popular, so I thought I'd do it again. Maybe this should be a regular thing...? I do love promoting good music.
This is a "relatively unknown but should be huge" list. If you don't know these artists, I hope you'll get to; as usual, links go straight to iTunes.
