Clock Which Shows You it's Time for Social Media

Our language changes as technology changes. Just 10 years ago, no one ever heard the terms Social Media, Social Networking, Facebook, Twitter, Tweet, LinkedIn within this context. Social Media is even beginning to replace SEO. Sometimes words are created to name something that doesn’t yet exist; more often new things are created and a new language emerges to name them. Makes me think of a funny cartoon. An old man has his face buried in a big leather-bound book. The caption read, “The Original Face Book.” That made me chuckle, but nothing puts the march of technology in perspective better than old newspapers. From birthday parties to engagements, promotions to obituaries, local newspaper announcements were the original social media. Cumbersome and snail-paced, it still fulfilled a social need.

“Facebook” as a word or a concept didn’t exist, but the desire to see and be seen has always been with us.

Today’s light speed, viral social media platforms are vital to business, and the pace never slows. Are you using the language of today’s media, and getting the most out of them that you can? Even the government is running into sticky situations with Social Media.
