Social Media for Social Good using ZEND by David J. Neff

• By the year 2005, Americans will spend more time on the Internet than watching network television and videocassette rentals will have been replaced by easily available video-on-demand services.” - Nicholas Negroponte (1995, The Future of News)

• “Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the unlimited carnage you are about to witness” - Dan Akroyd to Eddie Murphy in “Trading Places”

• Social Media needs to be defined as a group think mentality around your message. • People are going to talk about your message. • Deal with it. Encourage it.
