The State Of Social Media 2011: Social Is The New Normal | Fast Company

The State Of Social Media 2011: Social Is The New Normal | Fast Company
"The report opens with a key finding that social networks and blogs dominate how Americans spend their time online, which accounts for nearly 25% of their total time spent on the Internet."



"The End of Social Media 1.0

Social media is approaching a much needed maturity cycle where each word "social" and "Media" will no longer unite as an oxymoron, but instead as a true statement in how businesses and customers connect online. As a disruptor to everyday business, social media is forcing us to rethink everything. It is in many ways just like starting over. We are relearning and questioning everything and that's the way it's supposed to be. From creative and messaging to execution and measurement to service and loyalty, we now must look at applying more sophisticated and meaningful programs that combine social and media into a powerful form of engagement and leadership.
We will one day soon realize the day when "social" becomes part of the everyday construct in how people talk to one another and how we collaborate to solve for whatever brings us together. In the mean time, socializing media is only half as important as improving relationships and experiences within digital landscapes."
