Google is expected to buy the Earth next week. See Bloomberg.
Not a bad thing. Envision Google Earth (video), but life size.

What is Social Media?
I met the Marketing Diva (Toby Bloomberg) at a Cox Communications event. She pulled out her Flip cam and asked me to define social media. So I gave her a quick answer. Then along comes “The 60 Second Marketer” and packages this spontaneous clip into the following video called “What is Social Media.” Suddenly, my “pull it out the bum” verbal exposition looks rather comprehensive and definitive.
Let’s explore what makes this clip so trustworthy:
- Logo at the beginning
- Cool voice over
- Simple delivery
- Sponsored content
- Nice look/feel
I think the next time I decide to represent my random opinion as fact, I’m going to proceed and follow it with Slater doing a deep, rich voiceover that summarizes it.

What Is Social Media?
Toby Bloomberg, who writes Diva Marketing Blog, asked me recently to define social media. I didn’t have a lot of time to think, okay? But here I am on her blog aside much smarter people. Like Peter Kim Being Peter a Senior Analyst at Forrester Research. And the hysterical David Berkowitz (Marketers Studio), a Director of Emerging Media at 360i.
David, by the way, taught me the word “lolcats.”
