I am a multi-generational person: i am in community with individuals and communities in different life stages: 70's, 60's, 50's, 40's, 30's, 20's, teens, toddlers.
Everyone 40+ says call me, let's talk. Everyone! The phone is the message medium.
My 30-20 year old colleages and friends send me messages using WEB 2.0 Media: FB, Linkedin, Blog, text-msg, chat, twitter. Everyone. In fact, if you are not represented on WEB 2.0 Media, you may never interact with a 30-20 year old in realtime, ever. no kidding. Observation: communication today is richly expressive, asynchronous, mobile, community-centric, many of these platforms are free, some are public forums. Soon my efficient DayTimer System will be replaced by an iPhone, or other device in order to synchronize my entire life, in mobile, WEB 2.0 form.
The Graduate "Marketing" Program at Georgetown requires students to BLOG, 1000 Blog Views are required per student. Lesson: learn how to productively express yourself on-line, in a public forum, retaining your dignity, and the discerning confidence of others.
Everyone is using WEB 2.0 media, or beginning to (i.e. except my parents... 70-60's). The Wisdom of Crowds. I'm going to Jump into this media, truly be Linkedin, this year is the Tipping Point, the Ground Swell for WEB 2.0 to shape our lives.
Online Expression is here to stay, here are "Thought Leaders" describing how WEB 2.0 affects industry and individuals:
