Thanks for spreading that word around Ian. Many more articulate voices in the market than me to be sure. Have you had a look at the comment by Trevor Wingert on my blog? There’s one of those voices.

Comment on The buck now stops at everyone’s desk by ianandsue

The problem for employers is that social media is a general behavoural change that is touching their customers and clients the same way as everyone else. Unless employers see it for what it really is, they may wake up one morning and find their customers are no longer listening.

If that happens, I suggest that employers may well regret that they tried to hold back the tide.

[...] Whether it be Facebook, Mixx, Reddit, Digg, Youtube, Twitter or any other social media channel of your preference, it is a fact that most of the tools, sites and channels, which flourished as a result of Web 2.0, are of a time-consuming nature. Naturally, if you are to waste your own private time working around those channels; sharing information, watching clips, meeting new people, chatting or listening to music, then it would be acceptable. But what about when your utilization of those channels gets out of your own room, home and free time and steps into your working hours? [...]

Comment on There’s nothing to gloat about in media closures by ianandsue

Thanks for the comment Paul,

Unfortunately, there was little recognition that, in many ways, ‘old media’ is doing ‘new media’ particularly well. For example, the Sydney Morning Herald website and News.com both have a swag of blogs that are interesting, mostly well written and full of links to similar material. A lot of journalists – writing in areas other than technology – are using Twitter, social bookmarking etc etc and anyone who really believes that people like Murdoch are simply going to roll up their swag has a real problem. Old media will be forced to adapt and diversify dramatically, but I hope there will always be a place for authorative, quality writing, regardless of who produces it …….and on what delivery platform.

Cheers
Ian

You’re quite right Ian. It’s all too easy to get caught up with how significant these technological “improvements” make to our lives, without paying thought to how it affects those that are impacted directly, due to their industry all of a sudden becoming superseded.

Great post.
