The document discusses how social media has evolved from a tool for self-promotion to a means of providing value to others through listening, learning, caring, and serving. It argues that knowledge, markets, and business are now socially mediated through networks and relationships built on social media platforms. Finally, it suggests that the future of social media includes the rise of social business focused on creating value for communities and customers through visibility, relevance and relationships rather than campaigns, as well as true mass adoption as more people gain access through their mobile devices.

Editor's Notes
- How did I get here and why do I let the world call me by the name of a nut?
- So, I’m intimately involved in the space - anticipated these needs in advance because of my depth in Twitter. Saw this train coming long in advance and it’s arriving to the station right on schedule. TOO TANGENTIAL: One year ago last week I re-launched my communications consultancy as the world’s first Twitter for Business agency. Eight days later the market crashed and by the end of Q1 $40,000 in contracts with media companies and ad agencies had fallen off the table. Today Pistachio constitutes a dozen consultants and support staff serving some of the world’s largest companies. $20,000 transactions on Twitter, Twitter for Business, Blue chip clients Origin story -- my credentials, Pistachio’s performance, etc. What convinced me this must exist Kawasaki, J&J, Ford, (IBM, SAP, revenues), HBS

- Mainly, during this aberrant period of mass media. Prior to that, (and to some extent, even during it on local levels,) we can to a very fine understanding of how influence is garnered, bargained, shared
- Nothing new here at all. We just have better tools for sharing and spreading what we think and do.
- What do you KNOW?
- HOW do you know it?
- What do you LIKE? How do you find out? We tell each other, and we’re open to new things when we trust the recommender.

- What does Twitter do? -- connects people, connects ideas, fosters relationships, builds community --elements of both but rolled into an extremely convenient, mobile, low-commitment package --It also does a beautiful job of replicating “lost” practices by which humans get to know one another.

- These are the specific ways that microsharing can build VALUE for your business. Value can be baked in right from the beginning. Even if you’re “just experimenting” don’t go in blindly. Listen, come up with some ideas and test them. Find ways to do existing business processes that take advantage of the qualities of these new channels.
