10. A good way to think about social media is that all of this is actually
just about being human beings.
Sharing ideas, cooperating and collaborating to create art, thinking and commerce,
vigorous debate and discourse, finding people who might be good friends, allies and
lovers – it’s what our species has built several civilisations on. That’s why it is
spreading so quickly, not because it’s great shiny, whizzy new technology, but because
it lets us be ourselves – only more so.
-Antony Mayfield from iCrossing
11. How Social Media came to be
MEDIA PRODUCTION
• the advent of digital technology and the
internet
• the ever-lower costs of computers, digital
cameras and high-speed internet access,
combined with free or low-cost, easy-to-use
editing software
12. How Social Media came to be
DISTRIBUTION
• RSS (Really Simple Syndication) makes it much
easier for blogs and other social media to
build or become part of communities
• Search engines
13. Technology is shifting the power away from the
editors, the publishers, the establishment, the media
elite. Now it’s the people who are in control.
- Rupert Murdoch, Global Media Entrepreneur

34. Millions of people are creating content for the social Web.
Your competitors are already there.
Your customers have been there for a long time.
If your business isn't putting itself out there, it ought to be.
