If you read any sort of reputable news source these days, you're guaranteed to read about two things over and over and over...and possibly over: the fact that death is imminent vis-a-vis the swine flu, and that Twitter is the hottest thing since, well, Google. Maybe if you're living on a farm in Kansas, doing real work, then you will care less. But for someone who has to be enamored with all things social media, I do care. I care a lot.
Found this article on Businessweek.com via Media Bistro via PRNewser about Twittering CEOS. Weird, I didn't find out about it on Twitter. Hmm?
My favorite part from the article, and the best thing I've read all week:
"It's important for companies to understand all aspects of social media to successfully innovate in this space. Social media risks becoming an end in itself when people are constantly broadcasting themselves online in search of affirmation. If users spend more time announcing what they're doing than actually doing it, social media could, paradoxically, end up making people less sociable."
I'm truly looking forward to my unsocialble life and my impending death from swine flu. When will it all go away?
