You bring up an interesting point Joseph.
Social Media (as a growing industry) may actually do very well because of the economic difficulties on the horizon in the US and elsewhere.

I really like the way you’ve put this, Collin. I agree with you. I think that many of the economic difficulties we find ourselves in at present are due to a lack of trust or a lack identification with the “other” which causes people to act unethically.

People feel deceived and (dare say) abused by the corporate world (subprime mortgages anyone?) and I think that successful marketing strategies in the future will have to be cognizant of that new reality.

Consumers will logically be more skeptical of the company that wants their business, especially if they’ve recently lost a home or a job.

Indeed, social media is seen in the light of cultural revolution. A wave of change is taking place.

Bar none. The best commentary I’ve read on social as culture.

Inspiring. Truly inspiring.

The [cultural] revolution may not be televised, but it is blogged. Viva La Revolución!

Thanks for the kind words everybody. And welcome to Radical Trust Tim. Thanks for reading and leaving the comments. I had a great time speaking to the class. It is facinating to see the reactions of the people in the room. I have a great deal of respect for Ryerson University, and would really enjoy doing it again.
As always
All the best.

Thank you again Collin, for coming in and talking to our class on Tuesday. We have had people in the past talk about the impact of communications on space, but I think you softly nailed the heart of a prescient balance between the physical and psychological realm of what makes a community, with respect and honesty.
As I said before, what you were able to say in 40 minutes has taken me 4 years to wrap my head around, and I still can’t get it to come out right.
We’ll see you in the future.
Looking forward,
