People who are negative, are usually just talking about themselves, because that's how they see the world, through their own selves as the default. Certainly the first level of change is awareness and education. I didn't even read his article. I stopped at, "I've never tweeted a single tweet in my life." It's like, "Dude - I have no idea who you are, I just laid eyes on you for the first time, but let me tell you what I think of you." Good Load! Nice!

There are so many examples of how social media is changing the world and the way that the world communicates with each other. I also work for a nonprofit and social media has provided a gateway to reach so many people who share our passion and mission. More to that point, social media is an opportunity to reach supporters who may be out of an organization's typical age range. That in itself unlocks potential for cultivating younger generations and providing way to engage those who have a shared interest, people you might not ever be able to reach with a direct mail piece... Social media is most certainly changing the world in the way people communicate, what they are communicating and who is participating in the conversation. Agreed!
