Beyond the Hype: Roadmap for Social Media future

Twitter does not have to be Stupid
Stupid is such a loaded word: you never know how someone else will react if they hear the word. So let's begin TWITTER WEEK 101 with an agreement that 10 million+ users can't be All Wrong. They've learned it's all about How You Choose To Use The Power of Twitter.
Let's start by acknowledging that as "simple" as Twitter is to use, really understanding its power will take time and participation.

BE CHOOSY IN CHOOSING TWEEPLE TO FOLLOW: The REAL, intrinsic, not-so-secret value of social media in general -- and Twitter, particularly -- is the desire to help others by sharing information.

The Social Media Revolution (SMM) is changing the way big companies advertise, yet, I think that it is a “Hot Topic” that will last a couple of years only to then slow down its alert level and play a “Combo” role with TV advertising.
I think that the SMM will replace all the junk advertising we get in our mails. Given the trend, companies are changing their business models to adapt to a more sort of “Green Image,” which would force companies to stop wasting tons of paper and instead use SMM as a medium.
SMM has to its advantage the cyber and electronic addiction of young generations, who log on to Facebook, Twitter, MSN, Google, etc. about 10 to 20 times per day. This addiction is what boosts the use of such applications, which also generates the word-of-mouth communication. Those factors combine with the recent increase in “Green Marketing,” lead me to believe that SMM and TV advertising would play a “Combo” role that would give companies the ability to inform, remind, and persuade prospective consumers.
Diego, I like how you bring up the fact that internet communications will contribute to saving our planet by cutting down paper waste.
