Computerworld - Vi kan alle lære af Obama!

BLOG: Man kan være enig eller uenig i Obamas politik. Men måden, hvorpå han anvender nye medier og kanaler til at engagere ungdommen, er fantastisk. Senest flyttede han igen grænserne ved at tale direkte til alle amerikanske skoleelever bl.a. via livestreaming på nettet. Han taler til de unge gennem deres eget medie - fantastisk!

Facebook Eats Away at Email Usage on Today's Web

Email and IM Decline Thanks to Social Networks

In 2003, people spent 46% of their time online using sites which fall into the "communications" category - that is, sites whose core capabilities are email and instant messaging. By 2009, that usage dropped to 27% or a 41% decline in overall use.

Although "community" sites like Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn weren't measured back in 2003 when the first analysis was performed, OPA introduced the new category in 2008 at which point they were able to see the impact the social networks had on the habits of online users. While obviously it's not just Facebook which is to blame for the declining use of email and IM, there's no doubt that the world's largest social network plays a more significant role than the others here.

I love the sound of that. Email is no longer the smartest choice when communicating :)

Social Media: Ever had a problem explaining it ?

CommonCraft generally are really great at explaining stuff in a humorous and laid back way. Here's a couple of videos to explain a couple of terms not many people are that familiar and comfortable with. I tried selecting some of the concepts a lot of people don't understand (then again, a lot do). Enjoy :)

Social Networking in plain English

Social Media in plain English

Social Bookmarking in plain English

Twitter in plain English

Wikis in plain English

And last but not least, a 30 minute panel discussion featuring various social media personalities who know what they're talking about. Interesting stuff. From Zeitgeist '07.
