Social Media Revolution
Think Social Media is a fad? Think again. I found this video had some very interesting stats. It reminded me of the “Did you know” video I shared last year, but more geared towards social media. Well worth watching….
It’s clear that social media can be used for many different purposes….customer service, building relationships with potential and current clients, building credibility in a niche, allowing people to share their experiences with your brand with others, staying in contact with friends, sharing valuable content and much more.
What is the primary way you use social media?
What did you think about the video….was there anything that surprised you?
Those were really interesting stats….
crazy to think about….the internet and social media is so powerful
@Ryan absolutely…people often don’t stop and think about how powerful tools like twitter and facebook can be. Everyone has their social circle and these platforms enable people to easily share valuable information and news so effortlessly. The viral nature of these tools enable information to spread so much faster than ever.
thanks for stopping by
The primary way I use social media is to keep in contact with friends. I hardly think of the power it really has…but the video really brought that to perspective.
thanks for sharing david
Very interesting.
@jaime I absolutely agree….when you share something or make a comment on facebook or twitter you often don’t realize how widely spread that comment or information can be seen. This video was definitely a great illustration of the viral effect of social media….glad you liked it! thanks for commenting
@joel….good seeing you the other day, glad you liked the video. We’ll get together soon
It is really a great community by social-media on this info. This will give you “expertise” which is rewarded with green stars in the category your answer was selected as the best answer. Link your blog to your company page.
Hi,You really have to look around-social movements of all shapes and sizes take place all the time around the world.
The primary way i use the social websites is indeed mainly for social interaction. But I mainly just use facebook though… Since I am a college student, I have alot of my friends from school on there, as well as high school, and even old friends from elementary school that I’ve gotten in contact with again thanks to facebook.
As far as the video, definitely social media is here to stay! =D I guess I was surprised that in the end it was a plug for a book 😉
Till then,

Revolution (in any form) sounds good, but the question is what would you replace the current systems with? You need a plan for replacement before you can start getting fighters and civilian support.
@nintendo, what do we fighters and civil support for when it comes to social website websites? I don’t understand your comment…
Till then,
Jean
I have just compared difference b/w social media traffic and search engine traffic in my previous comment at : http://davidbrim.com/facebook-valued-more-than-cbs/
Social media traffic is equally important if you want greater sales and good conversion ration..
Hey brim, i am very new to your site.. I am really enjoying your content and the way you have written.
Very thanks for good share up 🙂
Anyone following the story on Twitter? According to many sources on the net, Twitter and YouTube have the goods on minute by minute action as it unfolds in Tehran. In fact, these seem to be the only sources of information the Iranian government hasn’t been able to completely control.
I heard that any Iranians using Twitter were to be imprisoned, and that some people opposing the election decision had been rounded up and have disappeared. The internet sure is a power thats hard to stop, thanks to it…

How would you show your knowledge of social media in a job interview?
What is the most important social movement taking place right now?
@Jean Facebook is great to stay connected to friends…As a college student networking is very important if you’re trying to land a good job or even build relationships with potential vendors or partners in your own business.
I would continue “hanging out on facebook”, but also recommend getting involved more in twitter and linkedin as the professional crowd is there. thx for stopping by
@contextual links…
Facebook on alexa is number 2 in the US only behind google…..Twitter is right behind google.in and I predict it will pass it within the next month or so.
What’s crazy to think about is that Facebook just passed 350 million users….If it were a country it would be the third largest in the world…Even ahead of the US
@loss of weight….to show your knowledge of social media in a job interview I would first make sure you are very knowledgeable in social media. Have profiles set up on the major social networks with activity.
I would also recommend having a blog and building your personal brand: http://davidbrim.com/the-power-of-building-your-personal-brand-online/
As far as showing companies you can be valuable as an asset in digital marketing and social media check this post out.
It will def give you some ideas: http://www.chrisbrogan.com/twelve-ways-to-sell-social-media-to-your-boss/
Hope this helps
I completely agree with you brim.. Social networking sites develop very fast. It is complete viral marketing.
well,I am planning to setup a small networking site or social media site like humsurfer.com.. 😉
Setting up website is really easy…But getting visitors is really hard.
i think vast numbers of people are fed up with money being the bottom line when every decision is being made.
Nice post for the Left wing media would the USA be close to a Revolution?
How can I incorporate social media into my small business marketing effort?
Great question! Social Media falls into a larger umbrella called “Inbound Marketing.” Traditionally marketing would be 1) cold calls/ telemarketing 2) print marketing such as magazines or newspapers 3) radio advertising 4) TV advertising 5) outdoor advertising. The before mentioned techniques would be labeled as “Outbound Marketing.”
That is why bias in the news is so bad for the country,there so in love with the Democrats they cant do there jobs,you will never hear the whole truth.But they will rip apart any Republican.They do not even try to hide there bias anymore.Its just in your face and they get away with it!
Fox reports every bad thing the can prove about Obama, and even some things they can’t, but even fox viewers would not support a revolution. You should consider the idea that the reason your web sites are obscure is because they are not telling the truth, and not very many people waste their time reading lies.
The United States is currently having a huge thing over gay marriage and gay rights– I believe they’re currently trying to get an non-discrimination act through the senate.
You see all the wars going on between nations. Listen in on any family with children. You will hear autonomy wars. “It’s time to go wash up for bed.” “No, I don’t wanna.” “Did you hear me?” “No!” See? An autonomy war. Another need, “creativity.”
Good answer, just a few things tho. I didnt make it clear, but I was aiming for conscious ways of making change (possible careers) but you bring up a good point. Awareness was also a point well made. Besides that, by social change I didn’t necessarily mean positive change. Whos to say whats positive
How do can you join? Website? Why is it the most important? What changes will it bring? What changes in this civilization must be made? Changes in art, government, social ethics, education, media, etc.? Is the revolution non-violent?

The media buried this quote almost immediately in November, but as it turns out, Rahm Emanuel (obama’s chief of staff) was one of the few men who wa telling the truth.
It seems like every time a democrat gets elected, is because a republican has left such a mess that the American people have nowhere else to turn to fix their messes. And no we don’t like it.
They don’t want to show left leaning protesters in a negative light. But they had no problem claiming there was violence at a peaceful anti govt.
Socialnomics: How social media transforms the way we live and do business by Erik Qualman is a great book. I recommend Socialnomics to anyone who would like to better understand the business implications of social media

Recommend not solely revolving your campaign around these channels however. With a social media campaign, we’d target specific communities that cater to your specific demographic.
Social media isn’t a FAD with so much of importance it has gained even in many remote places of the world. but how long would you think is this trend gonna continue? something definitely will take over this trend so what will be the next big change?

Social Media Revolution: Is social media a fad?Or is it the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution? This video details out social media facts and figures that are hard to ignore.
It amazes me the number of people at cocktail parties or in a professional environment don’t know what social media is, or can’t explain Twitter or Podcasting…
People have become content producers instead of content consumers because of social media. In short, the inmates run the asylum. The spread of information and knowledge as dramatically changed. In the past, the norm was broadcast media monologues.
The recent and recently signed stic-it-to -us Bill is an example. Without the chicken little pronouncements of imminent doom during the election cycle there never would have been such a foolish rush to loot the treasury.
In fact, these seem to be the only sources of information the Iranian government hasn’t been able to completely control…
Is Social Media a Fad or the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution Welcome to the Social Media Revolution.
Social Media, at first I thought it was a fad but boy was I wrong. I have only just begun to realize how much it helps and can work in your favor. Great video.
it has gained even in many remote places of the world. but how long would you think is this trend gonna continue? something definitely will take over this trend so what will be the next big change??
I never saw that video but I think it is great. There should be a second version now. to see how much the numbers have jumped. I still can’t get over my Dad signing up for Facebook, he only did it for his Navel Academy friends but still, its kinda weird.
