What is
Social Media?
                 ?
Officially, social media is “an umbrella term that defines the various activities
that integrate technology, social interaction, and the construction of words,
pictures, videos, and audio.”

http://www.wikipedia.org
It’s also a
fancy way to
 describe the
    zillions of
conversations
  people are
having online
         24/7.


                  photo by Kris Hoet on flickr.com
Why should
    I care?
              ?
REASON #1


BECAUSE 3 OUT OF 4 AMERICANS USE SOCIAL TECHNOLOGY.
Forrester, The Growth Of Social Technology Adoption, 2008


                                                            photo by luc legay on flickr.com
REASON #2




            BECAUSE 2/3 OF THE
            GLOBAL INTERNET
            POPULATION VISIT SOCIAL
            NETWORKS.
            Nielsen, Global Faces & Networked Places, 2009




                                                       photo by Adrian Wallett on flickr.com
REASON #3




                                                 photo byBruno Girin on flickr.com




BECAUSE VISITING SOCIAL SITES IS NOW THE 4TH MOST
POPULAR ONLINE ACTIVITY—AHEAD OF PERSONAL EMAIL.
Nielsen, Global Faces & Networked Places, 2009
REASON #4




Because time spent on
social networks is growing
at 3X the overall Internet
rate, accounting for 10% of
all Internet time.
Nielsen, Global Faces & Networked Places, 2009




                                                 photo by strange_wax on flickr.com
REASON #5      Because social
               media is
               democratizing
               communications.
               Big time.


            “Technology is shifting the power away
            from the editors, the publishers, the
            establishment, the media elite. Now it’s
            the people who are in control.”
            Rupert Murdoch, Global Media Entrepreneur
REASON #6




      BECAUSE
SOCIAL MEDIA
 IS LIKE WORD
OF MOUTH ON
     STEROIDS.
Because, dear friend, social media is a force to be reckoned with.
                                        (Psst... FYI... I just wanted to use this squirrel in a slide.)
13 HOURS

The length of time it would take to view every YouTube video.




                                            photo by Don Solo on flickr.com

1,000,000,000
The amount of content (web links, news stories, blog posts,
notes, photos, etc.) shared each week on Facebook.
“The word blog is irrelevant. What's important is that it
is now common, and will soon be expected, that every
intelligent person (and quite a few unintelligent ones)
will have a media platform where they share what they
care about with the world.”
Seth Godin, Author
5,000,000

“IF FACEBOOK WERE A COUNTRY, IT WOULD
BE THE 8TH MOST POPULATED IN THE WORLD,
JUST AHEAD OF JAPAN.”
Mark Zuckerberg, January 7, 2009
Why should
 we care?
             ?
93% OF SOCIAL MEDIA USERS BELIEVE A COMPANY SHOULD HAVE A PRESENCE
IN SOCIAL MEDIA.
Cone, Business in Social Media Study, September 2008
Believe it or not, that doesn’t mean that 93% of social media users think companies should treat social media as
yet another channel for broadcasting junk.
YOU SEE, IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE A DIALOGUE,
NOT A MONOLOGUE.
85% of social media users believe that a company should go further than just having a
presence on social sites and should also               interact   with its customers.
Cone, Business in Social Media Study, September 2008
Thats why its important for us to ENGAGE our viewers online through social media.
So, what are
  we doing?
               ?
Lots.
In one word...
