Social Media Revolution
I started working in the Social Media industry back in October of 2009 for a company called Lunch.com. Lunch is a social review site that allows their users to build out a profile, rate and review any and everything, and moderate and join communities. In October when I took the job, I didn’t even really know what Social Media was other than the Wikipedia definition of it. “Social Media are media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques.” In lame man terms, Social Media is Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Tumblr, Flickr, and so on. Any website that allows its users to meet up and socialize on their platform by networking, posting pictures, sharing information, etc. Just within the last 10 years Social Media has moved from only a few hundred people involved, to hundreds of millions of people due to the easy availability of the Internet and smart phones. Facebook alone has 500 million users, which is more than the population of the US. Yet even though there are tons of articles and publication about the possibilities of Social Media for students, business owners, entrepreneurs, politicians and pretty much anyone in the world, my eye weren’t opened to these possibilities until I went to South By South West in Austin, Texas.
