Washington, D.C. - October 2nd, 2009 
A few weeks ago, the 4th version of the "Did you know" videos was released. There are many lessons and insights to be taken away from it, but the one that made the biggest impact on me is the importance of new media literacy. There are so many tools to be used, but do we know HOW to use them? Everyone is obsessed with amassing Twitter followers and Facebook fans, but do we know how to cultivate meaningful and useful relationships with those people and through those tools? In 2009, to build valuable social capital, we all need to be fluent in new media communication and best practices. If you want to work at the top of the political world, this will be crucial to your success. So after you watch this amazing video, check out some of the links below. They are resources that have been a big help for me. 1. Mashable 2. FastCompany 3. The Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet 4. Pew Internet and American Life Project

What a thought provoking post. I think people are now beginning to see the potential of using web2.0, or 3.0 as a way of communicating ideas around the world in seconds. Medical centres are using iPhones to enable the unhealthy to get up to date advice and information whenever they need it. The future of social networking is much more than a toy for children.

Social media will become more and more important and will even be very influental in terms of search engines, as they will use the signals from there to include that in their ranking algorithm.

I'm in the online business and I can't tell you how many people don't use Twitter right. People don't think that some garbage offer is going to attract me to their site. We are still human and we need to be talked to socially as well.
