Send to friendIf you want to be successful in today's world it's becoming increasingly important that you wrap your mind around the social media revolution. What is social media, you ask? According to Wikipedia,

Social media use the “wisdom of crowds” to connect information in a collaborative manner. Social media can take many different forms, including Internet forums, message boards, weblogs, wikis, podcasts, pictures and video. Technologies such as blogs, picture-sharing, vlogs, wall-postings, email, instant messaging, music-sharing, crowdsourcing, and voice over IP, to name a few. Examples of social media applications are Google (reference, social networking), Wikipedia (reference), MySpace (social networking), Facebook (social networking), Last.fm (personal music), YouTube (social networking and video sharing), Second Life (virtual reality), and Flickr (photo sharing).

More and more, the way information is shared, processed and understood is being driven by the interaction of individuals using these social media tools. Your success, then, will increasingly be tied directly to your harnessing the power and potential of social media. And the longer you wait, the harder it will be to catch up.
