What is the Social Media Revolution and are you a part of it?
Social media is the way to go; it is the marketing channel of the future, it is a Social Media Revolution! My question to you is, are you going to be a part of this Revolution or are you going to miss the train? There are a lot of people out there wandering around on the Social Media Revolution train having no clue what they are doing and they are just not sure what to do with the all the people around them that are claiming to be a friend.
I know that you have met them before; they are the Social Media Revolution skeptics. The people who think it's just a fad, something that a bunch of silly Gen-Y came up with to take over the world, to control people.
Did you know that if Facebook were a country it would be the fourth largest in the world finding itself between the United States and Indonesia? It's rather funny that there are about 250 million people on Facebook and on any given day there are about 120 million of these people that log on to Facebook each day.
There are over 200 million blogs throughout the world and there are posts of new content every day. Are you participating in the Social Media Revolution? Are you on Facebook, Twitter, do you have a blog? How are you participating in the Revolution?
Social Media Revolution comes to Google
Google's Vice-President of Search Marissa Mayer has just made a huge surprise announcement at the Web 2.0 Summit: a new Google Labs feature called Social Search.
Details are still somewhat sparse, but here is what is currently know:
- The bottom of search results will soon have social networking information from your friends, like their Flickr photos or their status updates. It will be a blended search integration, similar to seeing news or image results.
- These will be pulled from social networks connected to your Google Profile, the more that are connected, the more social information that will appear in the search results.
- Google has also improved searching for images using social networks. Images become more relevant using social networking data.
- It will launch in Google Labs soon.
What do you think about Google getting on the Social Media Revolution train? Does this tell you anything? Is it a fad or here to stay? Where are you?
