Philip Bloom -> on Social Media

Philip Bloom / Social Media from Terry Wilson on Vimeo.

In the video above Philip Bloom discusses his use and overall take on ‘Social Media’. The two words actually make me cringe a little bit these days and I tend to avoid using them in conversation. People seem to get all charged up about the topic of ‘Social Media’. Does it work? Is it worth the investment? What’s the best way to use it? Does it eat up too much of our daily lives? Will it turn our children into zombies? All that energy spent debating and arguing, when at the end of the day ‘Social Media’ is really just a period of rapid growth for a few emerging technologies that happen to have increased our ability to communicate with each other and broadcast ourselves. Kind of like… if the CB radio, walkie talkie, beeper and cell phone had all been unveiled in the same year. People would have lost their minds for sure. Regardless, I dig Philip Bloom’s commentary here. He doesn’t try to make it out to be some kind of magical medium, he admits it takes time and effort… and that it really does work for his needs.
