Social Media Vs. Network Media

In previous posts, I have talked about the need for social networking in the workplace. And you may be interested to know that I am close to offering a seminar on the benefits of such. Today I received an email from a friend on how social media has changed the way news is delivered.

On his blog, he talks about the recent crash of US Airways Flight 1549 and how an iPhone, Twitter and YouTube were the first to post pictures and video (you can view them on his blog), instead of CNN or Fox News.

Mark is slowly trying to educate me on all the different types of social networking groups and what they are used for. Maybe it's my age, but it seems I am a slow learner.

Thanks Mark for an interesting post.
