Has Social Media Changed Your World View?
Friday, October 14th, 2011
http://www.lockergnome.com/news/2011/10/11/has-social-media-changed-your-world-view/ – Ben Bates (@Cryptision) asked: “How has social media changed your views on world events such as #occupywallstreet and the Arab spring?”
Social media has certainly improved our ability to communicate and share ideas about world events as they unfold. In the past, we’ve only been able to see world events by way of mainstream media or lucky connections with family and/or friends who live in the area where the news is breaking.
Today, we can instantly communicate and express our take on world events to a larger audience from all points around the world. While this may or may not have changed our individual opinions on these events, it has certainly allowed us to see things from a different vantage point.

It seems as though JB was upset after a fan hacked the computer of a friend of the Bieb to obtain Justin’s cell phone number. This “hacker” then called and texted JB a few times. In order to get back at the poor kid, Justin tweeted HIS phone number out, claiming it was his own. The kid received thousands upon thousands of text messages and telephone calls. To me, this is a blatant case of abusing one’s power, and JB owes this kid a public apology – and then some. Lamarr doesn’t necessarily agree, though. What do YOU think? http://youtube.com/wilsontech1
http://twitter.com/chrispirillo – It took me many hours to actually get this video recorded. It’s just not easy for me to do. I’ve been a part of social media since before social media was a title for something. So what IS social media? It’s different for everyone. For me, it boils down to a set of tools that facilitates conversation. What is social media to you? http://geeks.pirillo.com – http://chris.pirillo.com
http://twitter.com/chrispirillo – If you are posting media that isn’t social, then you are completely un-cool. All media needs to be social! I’m happy to report that I’m going to be featured in the Seattle Social Media Profiles! Sadly, I didn’t get to wear a crown for the day or anything. They do, however, want me to answer a series of questions, so here goes! http://chris.pirillo.com – http://geeks.pirillo.com
http://live.pirillo.com – I’m originally from the great state of Iowa. Some nice folks in Kansas asked me to present their Keynote speech at their welcome back orientation. At some point during the live presentation, the video feed died. So, I re-recorded this video. I have to thank the people at Southwestern College for giving me the opportunity to share the Do’s and Dont’s of Social Networking.
http://live.pirillo.com – Social Networking is all the rage these days. If I had to recommend only one Social Network site… it would be StumbleUpon.
http://geeks.pirillo.com – http://live.pirillo.com – I’m not able to grant all the interview requests that I receive. I always appreciate them, but I just honestly don’t have the time. If you do ask for one, please don’t expect me to answer in writing, it’s not happening. Instead, I would do a video with your answers, such as I’m doing with Dan Morrill’s questions. http://chris.pirillo.com
http://twitter.com/chrispirillo – ‘Social Media’ is the phrase of the day. Many of us were doing things socially online long before the term was even coined. No one can seem to decide what, exactly, social media really IS, anyway. Craig sent a series of questions to me from Scotland, asking five questions about social media. I thought it would be fun to record my answers as a video. Also, by having them out there this way, hopefully more people will be able to learn something – instead of only Craig! I’m always interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas. If you don’t agree with one of my answers, go ahead and leave a follow-up comment to tell us what you think! http://chris.pirillo.com
