Was Social Media Created Out of Necessity To Keep Humans Connected or Will it Keep Us Apart?

 Before I started writing this post, I had one of my usual afternoon coffee break epiphany moments that got me thinking about technology and society. The main image that popped in my head is of a family, or should I say my family, sitting in the family room all in front of their personal devices (laptops, iphones, etc) and having no interactions with each other. Almost like zombies glued to their glowing lcd screens. Sounds like a Twilight Zone moment doesn’t it? So knowing that we have amazing technology out there and more yet to come out, are we doomed to a life where all of our initial social interactions are handled via Facebook, Linkedin, mobile or other electronic outlets? Will family conversations, office conversations, or conversations in general no longer happen in person? Will it be better not have interactions in person? Will technology improve our social interactions and make us better at socializing with each other online and off?

Is Twitter Just Hype (Twitter vs Facebook vs MySpace)?

 Every online marketing firm, including ours, always includes some sort of Twitter marketing option. Most of the time it isn't by choice, because our clients read all about Twitter and buy into the hype that it's an effective marketing tool. But is Twitter really all that popular than say, MySpace? Most of us already know that with the dawn of Facebook, MySpace sort of took a backseat in the online social environment. Even with riding in the backseat, MySpace still is able to control more user attention than Twitter.

Social Media Marketing or Social Marketing?

 I'm often asked what Boost Labs does and I find myself always answering "social media marketing". The immediate reply is, "Oh like Facebook marketing stuff right?", which then prompts me into this long speech about how there's more to social media marketing than just Facebook and usually ends with me suffering from dehydration and the poor person on the receiving side of my rambling with a glazed over look on their face. Has "Social Media Marketing" been forever branded as "Facebook Only Marketing"?
