A couple of weeks ago I sat down with an “Ad Man” and his first question to me was what is Social Media. Then the next week I was in a meeting with some incredible business people here in Grand Rapids and they did not know what Social Media was either. As a matter of fact, I asked them “How many of you have a FaceBook page?” They all looked at me like I was speaking another language. Some one tried to explain Web 2.0 as “It’s about giving stuff away for free.”
So I went out to find the simplest explanation for Social Media, and of course it was not that hard to find. Common Craft has created a simple easy to understand video which explains what Social Media is all about.

If this doesn’t make a clear enough for someone, they will never get it. That’s Common Craft for ya!
That’s a great video. I’m going to have to share that around the office on Monday.
Nice info in social media. This medium is sure to stay, I think businesses need to embrace it, because it’s centuries old and is not going anywhere!
P.S. I like the update to your blog!
Well, that sums it up nicely. Now, if only I could find that ice cream…
P.S. thanks for the link, Kevin
