Maybe We're *ALL* Doing it Wrong |
A contrarian view of social media. A presentation at PodCamp Nashville 2010. |
Here’s how I described the session on the #PCN10 website:
Pundits tell us that individuals have more power now than ever before thanks to the explosion of personal media from blogging to podcasting to video sharing to social networking to mobile apps to location-based services.
Are we using this power responsibly and effectively? Is social media growth sustainable? Why are we behaving in an anti-social manner on social networks?
No cribbed answers or parroted advice, just questions to start the conversation that we–the evangelists, experts, and early adopters–need to have.
When I say I don’t have answers, I mean it.
This isn’t a presentation designed to generate leads, establish credibility, or get my name out there. It’s designed to get us talking about what may be the most powerful force online for the next 5 years–if we don’t screw it up.
So, why am I doing it? Answer to that on Monday.
