 As far as Paul Seaman goes, I agree with him that social media "just is" - its a set of tools that are neutral - meaning how you use them is how good or bad they are. Where I differ from him is his perception of the "not revolution." I don't think social media created a revolution - they provided a transmission belt for support of one though. The revolution was a social and cultural one - and it came in how we communicate, not how we do business. It was driven by the easy access to one and many that the social Web provides and by the ubiquity and commoditization of cell phones. We are now able to, via voice or text or online tools, communicate 00X0 in an untethered way with a nearly immediate response expected and, at least from peers, delivered more often than not. THAT is revolutionary because it revolutionizes how we converse and what we expect of all institutions and individuals. There is a fundamental cultural change embedded in that.
