The Real Deal about the Social Media Revolution

by susanryoung on June 30, 2010

Revolutionary war generalMy take on a piece of history.

Here’s the real deal on the Social Media Revolution:

1. Yes, it takes time. All revolutions do.

2. No,  it’s really not a battle. It’s about comraderie.

3. Yes, it’s about training. Mentally, emotionally and intellectually.

4. No, it’s not about a leader with white hair named George Washington. It’s about a bald man named Seth Godin.

5. Yes, it’s about loyalty. Some things never change.

6. No, it’s not about weapons. It’s about tools.

7. Yes, it’s about colonies. Of communities, that is.

8. No, it’s not about defending our freedom. It’s about defending our brands.

9. Yes, it’s about survival in a new world.

My Dad would be proud- he’s a huge history buff. Carry on.

Camaraderie: yes. Community: most definitely. Also: Sparked by people who thought they had no voice and are discovering new ways to be be heard.
