My friend Rodney Parks introduced me to a video on social media, and as someone who prides myself on keeping up with the industry, I am sad to say that I had not seen it. Erik Qualman writes and maintains a blog called Socialnomics and has a book by the same name. In this video, he delivers mind-blowing statistics, a year old mind you, that shows the impact and the speed at which social media has changed our culture.
One of the most poignant thoughts in the video referred to ROI (Return on Investment) which so many businesses are interested in when it comes to social media. The video says, “The ROI of social media is your business will still exist in 5 years.”
I haven’t had a Video Friday in a while, but I thought this video was good food for thought. Rochelle Veturis from Orange County, CA has some good ideas about dealing with negative folks.
Mobile applications such as foursquare and Gowalla are becoming the new phenomenon. Can it be used for your business? Decide for yourself. Here is a video with Kevin Rose of Digg (@kevinrose).
Lewis Howes is the author of this video. The video is a little over a year old, but the content is still very relevant. Lewis uses social media to leverage business in the sports world. He is on twitter @lewishowes. His websites are www.LewisHowes.com and www.SportsNetworker.com.
What do you think? Agree or disagree?
