We spend our lives hoping , wishing, and wanting other things. Why is that? Shouldn’t we be happy where we are at? Logically this should be so, but in reality, we have been so media blitzed about what we should want in life and therefore don’t even know who we really are. The power of the media has, in many cases, overwelmed our conscience thinking and therefore programmed us into thinking about an alternate reality than the one we live in.
I believe that the latest trend in social media and its use has started to help relax the grip of traditional medias hold on us. With an end user content driven media, we can live in real time and learn to make our own decisions again. What do you think the future of this form of media is? Any speculations? Have you seen the signs?

I strongly recommend the book “Citizen Marketers” by Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba – full of great stories that chronicle the rapidly diminishing power of traditional media and the vast new powers held by “common people”.
