The Facebook Fad Continues

By

I admit the title of this post is intentionally sarcastic - I've made no secret of my frustration at the social media nay sayers and will continue to openly criticize their negativity and complete lack of awareness (see: "Criticize Social Networking At Your Cost").

And so to the following ad. It seems the auto industry believes social is here to stay if this video is anything to go by (originally aired during the Super Bowl).

'Social' means conversation, information and free speech. It's here now, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health and we need to love and to cherish it, from this day forward, until death do us part! Amen :)

Cute video. I have people all the time thinking by social behaviors are silly. We'll see who is silly in the long run.

Social media has made its place in our society and will be around for a long time.  There are some sites that are more business oriented than others but it's revolutionized how we communicate and has become part of our everyday lives, it's not going away any time soon so everyone should get on board and stop knocking it!

Fad huh. I'm with you, it is conversation and that isn't going away. I met my wife on AOL.

Thanks Stephen for sharing the video! I have been able to connect with so many agents through social media and new jobs are rolling in! I wish that for all the hard-working FBers, ARers, Tweeters and whatever else you are doing to get your name out there on the internet!

Stephen, I am very new to Social Media arena, still trying to navigate through a maze. I decided social media is here to stay - if you don't join the trend, you will travel alone. Thank you for sharing the ad, and have a great weekend.
