- 3. Blogs vs. Mainstream Media Blogs are getting taken more seriously as sources of information. More people will get their news and entertainment from blogs than from traditional media in the next 5 years. Blogs are just as valid media sources as traditional media. I get more of my news and information from blogs than other media sources. Blogs are often better written than traditional media articles. Newspapers will not be able to survive in the next 10 years.

Editor's Notes
- #2: Many talk about the benefits of Social Media, joining in the conversation, building relationships with customers, the potential is much greater than most have realized yet. Many see Social media as: Listening Taking Action and Joining the conversation You see running a viable long term business is about: Learning what’s important to your customers Adapting to marketplace changes The real ROI in Social Media is in how you change your business from what you learn Discovering the unexpected, Improving communications in real time Recognizing mistakes and addressing them for the customer and others Correcting rumors by going directly to the source Sharing good news and getting feedback It’s a law of numbers - there are more of them (customers) than there are of you (employees) Your customers have more stamina and will take your message farther than you. Learning from your customers how to transform your business, can be painful, but remember, if they didn’t care on some level, they would ignore you completely – and be firmly with your competition More and more customers expect you to come to where they congregate, rather than coming to you. Business – its time to go meet your customers and change your business. First, a quick run through of data underscoring its importance then on to 3 case studies before Q/A
