Do you think Social Media is a fad?
A good friend sent me few days ago a video with some amazing and extremely interesting facts about Socia Media and how it has come to create one of the greatest revolution processes ever known in human history.
Here’s the video:
The video has said it all. As shown on this short video, I personally believe that Social Media will break paradigms (it is breaking them right now!) and will create and expand the way we see and understand things in business, education and life.
The key for professional and business success will be focused on how well we’ll understand people and all the communication process through Social Media. We can see it now, how Social Media is breaking all kind of boundaries (social, political, economical, etc) and brings so much opportunities and a massive avalanche of information available for anyone and everyone, at anytime, anywhere… in just a matter or seconds.
I hope you could enjoy this video as much as I did. If you’re a small business owner, an individual providing any given professional service, a student or just a reader, think about it and start changing your own paradigms about Social Media and all the great opportunities it brings to all of us and how it will change the world forever.
#FreeMediaVe: More Nations Using Twitter to Protest Media Crackdown
Twitter has become the most powerful tool for free speech, especially for those nations oppressed and censored by their own goverments, letting these nations express and raise their voices to the world, no matter how hard these governments try to control the local and international media. We’ve seen this recently with the Iranian presidential election process and fraud, and now we can see it with Venezuelans, after the presidencial decision to close more than 240 radio stations nationwide and possibly, the second TV station: Globovision.
Venezuelans have learned the lesson from Iran. They started two days ago a new global cruzade against these illegal actions taken by the government, sorry… Chavez!. With the label #FreeMediaVe Venezuelans have populated Twitter, Blogs and other Social Networks with news and comments about the real situation lived in this (our… MY) coutry. This campaign has produced such impact in Twitter, that it is one of the most issues comments in this (and other) Social Networks, and forced the government to officially complain against this campaign.
