I love people who can articulate ideas very well. I've been a big fan of John Battelle for a decade, He is the co-founder of Wired, Founder of Federated Media and Executive Producer of the Web 2.0 Summit. He’s also the author of an upcoming book, What We Hath Wrought, which gives us a forecast of the interconnected world. In short the book is about, can we handle what we are creating? Thirty or so years from now, will we be questioning ourselves – “Lord, what hath we wrought?” Or will we look upon what we hath wrought, and be pleased? I think the answer lies in exploring where we are, right now, and laying out the implications of our actions today. (And yes, I’m an optimist, which is why I moved the “hath” over one position in the title…)
Please watch this conversation between John Battelle and Brian Solis on SOCIAL MEDIA.
I was writing a Social Media report for clients based on "If a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil" theory and while doing a research i stumbled on this video. The Butterfly Effect, by Andy Andrews. The Butterfly Effect shows how your everyday actions can make a difference for generations to come. Through inspiring stories, shares the secret of a life of permanent purpose, where every decision and action you make in life matters, no only today, but for the future. When you understand that every action matters, every result of our actions immediately improves! A life of permanent purpose will make you a better parent, a better, spouse and a more valuable friend. The Butterfly Effect illustrates the unique power of the individual. You have created as one of a kind...to make a difference. You have the power to change the world. What you do with your life matters today. It matters FOREVER.
As @HannoL puts it, Today more than ever before do we realize that we are part of a vast network, both digitally and naturally, where technology matters but networks far exceed the virtual world. It seems there might be truth in the saying that when a butterfly flaps it’s wings in America, it creates a tropical storm in the Orient, a truly networked society. The Butterfly Effect theory states that You can create lasting change when you begin small, act where you are, and stay faithful over the long haul. At FlyingCocoon we believe its time to apply The butterfly effect in vast universe of Social Media. Stay Hungry, Stay tuned.
