Ignoring social media is like ignoring email in 1994. It is defining how a new generation connects with each other, for whom email – as we grew up with it – doesn’t even exist.

Interesting read.

Love this one!! Is Facebook making us smarter? Or do smart people understand Facebook more? New research shows that there is a correlation between people with large, online social networks and intelligence.

B2B Social Media Story Telling | Socialnomics

B2B Social Media Story Telling | Socialnomics | Training and Assessment Innovation | Scoop.it
Some  B2B marketers are slow to invest in social media because they believe that the ROI should be based on an increase in sales. Wrong.


This a short but great post on shifting your thinking about social media and the power of storytelling for your business.


What I really like, besides the mindset, is the example of how Cisco is using storytelling so effectively.  It's about connecting with your audience and pulling them in, not pushing your company on them.


This is sophisticated business storytelling at its best -- that we all can do.  


Enjoy the post and the fabulous 5 minute video.

A brilliant post about Cisco's approach to b2b storytelling from Tim Washer, social media head for Cisco Systems’ SP Marketing group.  

 

Tim discusses various initiatives that focus not on the brand and its products but on helping spread inspiring industry stories that matter to their target audience.  

 

Watch and enjoy their first video from their "Network Effect" web documentary.

Social media may help educators in classroom

Social media may help educators in classroom | Training and Assessment Innovation | Scoop.it

Most students would not be caught dead using their smart phones to access Facebook and Twitter in class. Many professors at MSU have issued policies banning the use of all electronic devices during class time. But in some classes Facebook, Twitter, and even smart phones are being used to help students in and outside of class.
