Four Minutes of Video Awesomeness: Is Social Media a Fad?

If you’re going to produce a viral video packed with stunning facts, then the secret to its success is to use Fatboy Slim’s "Right Here, Right Now" as the theme song–I’ve lost track of the number of videos that use that track.

Still, that doesn’t stop this video from being any less fascinating than the many that have gone before it.

Enjoy!

    That is one darned exciting video! I got goose-bumps watching it!! After watching that vid how can you then not know that how business is conducted is changing right before our very eyes? When I started my consulting practice 15 years ago I just knew “online” would cause a cosmic shift in almost everything we do. How exhilarating that after all these years it is just as exciting as it was when it started and I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon!

    Definitely going to post that vid on my Blog as well. How can anyone argue with all those stats and the need for businesses to be in the here and now if they want to compete?

    Great video with mind boggling numbers. It’s been a while since I have heard a Fatboy Slim song too… Good band! Facebook would be the fourth largest country!? Wow! Maybe social media can help solve all of our global issues… What do you think Andy?

    That video was totally awesome! Makes you face the facts about social media. And you’re right, Fatboy Slim is a good choice for the video and probably HAS been reused a million times!
