Identify people's passions an build a community where they can come to watch, read, hear media you've made, and upload/share their own media and ideas. Concentrate on what people want to talk, read, and hear about and give them the tools to build a place of their own. No one cares how our computers work, we just turn them on and start Twittering. We sit around and push the envelope of all of these social media tools concentrating on the tools themselves. We expect the rest of the world to share our enthusiasm. Real people read, surf, jog, fish, dance, boat, fight, love, garden, camp, decorate, knit, pray, collect, shop and do innumerable other activities that don't inherently involve keyboard input. It's their passions that bring them together. Those passions are where we should put the tools to use. None of the “masses” care about how social media works.

I would encourage us all to keep in mind that it takes time to change a culture and traditional thinking. This is not just about a twitter deal or a vlog or a podcast. It's a new communication system and a very different way of interacting. Worlds are being shaken and people are trying to make sense of it in there own way. For Annie a few baby boomers and perhaps beyond who are involved in social media: a scientist at a manufacturing company who has been bloging since 2005 http://tinyurl.com/346lgq, an 81 year old woman who is blogging and vlogging http://tinyurl.com/93wb2 and the CEO of one of the most prestigious hospitals in the world who launched a blog last summer http://tinyurl.com/24sc5p. Here’s a suggestion .. let’s start with the next generation of business professionals. (Most kids don't get how social media fits into the bigger picture.) There are a few innovative profs who are bringing it to their students but not enough. Add one more audience to your list to reach out to. Why not a course on social media in marketing? Or one on citizen journalism? Think bigger. Why not an entire discipline? Let me know how I can help. Chris -
