Web 2.0 represents one of the most amazing times in history with global connectivity to a worldwide conversation, citizen journalism through blogging threatening the global dominance of mass media, and a level of transparency rarely imagined. We are at the tipping point between connectivity and mass global shrinkage where your neighbor in Katmandu will know more about you than the guy next door.
What’s In It For You?
The opportunity to monetize your skills and passions in ways you never dreamed possible.
- Mass Media no longer owns the license to print headlines or advertising dollars.
- Bloggers have the upper hand in breaking news, providing support and feeding the flow of information and reaping SEO juice.
- Branding “You”: Everyday someone new, with a new idea, a new angle, or a new source of information becomes a superstar without the mass media’s help. People are moving away from branding their employers and towards branding themselves.
- Social Media/Niche Media: The aggregation of information will eventually interconnect all of the social media sites so that your message can be pushed out in one location to an infinite number of sites within the worldwide social media culture. Photos, blogs, crowdsourcing, community sites, hobby niches, and everything in between will be connected on a global scale.
