What the F**k is Social Media

Written by Brian Teeman
social networking

So I have a blog, a twitter account, a facebook page, posted videos to youtube and vimeo and numerous other "social media" accounts but why?

I famously told one client that Web 2.0 is a "crock of sh*t" and a "waste of time (for them)" and for that client I was proven correct.

But is it really?

Should I be taking more notice of Social Media?

Does it matter?

After watching this presentation perhaps I should be taking more notice of Social Media and the impact they can have.

If watching that presentation hurt your brain, was just too technical or you want to know more... try this video. 

Social Media in Plain English

Has social media had a positive, or even negative, impact for you. What tools have you found to be more sucessful?

About Brian Teeman

  • As a co-founder of Joomla! and OpenSourceMatters Inc I've never been known to be lacking an opinion or being too afraid to express it.

    Despite what some people might think I'm a shy and modest man who doesnt like to blow his own trumpet or boast about achievements.

    But it seems that no blog exists without an "About" page so rather than talk about what an amazingly great guy I am and list all the things I've achieved (and failed at) in life from my Cycling Proficiency Test in 1976 to winning an award for the "UK Individual Contribution to Open / Source" in 2005 here are some links.
