Another infographic doing the rounds. A history of social media gives you a quick overview of the state of the social web, before Facebook and Twitter started to crush all in their path. Did anyone actually use Friends Reunited? Thanks for the link Darren. Via Copyblogger.
But what about right here, right now? Check out the latest Social Media Revolution video from Erik Qualman at Socialnomics.
Thanks for posting, Andy.
There are a few such infographics doing the rounds at the moment but this one really caught my eye.
In particular I like the way the advances in the media and technology are positioned alongside the impact they’ve had on people’s lives. There’s a story in everything, after all…
And no, once I realised you had to pay to get the details of old acquaintances I left Friends Reunited as swiftly as I arrived!
Wow… Google+ whatever happened to that?
Fascinating insight into how quickly social has taken over the way we interact with each other. To take a popular example, Facebook is now as much a part of our daily lives as any other form of media ever has been. Like most forms of social media, it satisfies two instincts we are born with: to know each other and learn more about the world that surrounds us. It’s just a shame its potential is often wasted, narrowing perspectives and encouraging narcissism rather than fuelling curiosity about what’s beyond our immediate frame of reference.
Fair point Rachel. “Fakebook. Be who you wish you were.”
I tend not to create a great deal of comments, however
And, if you are posting on additional social sites, I’d like
after reading through some of the comments here A history of social media | The Linney
Group Blog. I actually do have 2 questions for you if
it’s okay. Is it only me or do some of these responses look as if they are left by brain dead visitors?
to follow anything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of all of
all your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
And your point is Isiah?
