I took part today in a talk about social media in the airline industry. Indeed social media is a powerful channel and I believe it is like this mainly due to its speed. in an instant you can have someone complaining or congratulating an airline or a service.
But, no matter how much I admit the power it has today, I cannot stop thinking that this will be gone..or it will change drastically in the future... Nowadays so many people have for example Facebook accounts and so many share so many details about their lives,experiences and not only to close friends but to the entire community... Now, don't get me wrong..there is nothing wrong in sharing things with your friends, especially if you are away ...but are all the 10000 connections you have really friends ? I would say no, and there is no need now for all of them to know the same things..or better say soo many things.. Going further on this idea I think that soon there will be a fee for privacy..let's say you will pay to have less ' friends ' or smaller communities.. you will pay to separate your real ' friends ' from the others but in a way that of course will not affect the social status you have been working on by adding the 5 - 10000 ' Facebook friends ' .
One conviction I have is that life is cyclical...what is new now will be old tomorrow and what was there a long time ago will be new again and even more than that..will be considered innovative and original :) It's all a matter of time ...
