Why should I care?
“Social media is only going to become more pervasive and as such, become a critical factor in the success or failure of any business.”
Brian Solis, The Social Media Manifesto
![Page 13: Social Media Presentation Strathclyde Jan 2010](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042813/54417647b1af9ff74b8b473b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Resistance is futile
“For companies, resistance to social media is futile. Millions of people are creating content for the social web. Your competitors are already there. Your customers have been there for a long time. If your business isn’t putting itself out there, it ought to be.”
BusinessWeek, February 19 2009

Power to the People
“Technology is shifting the power away from the editors, publishers, the establishment, the media elite. Now its the people who are in control.”
Rupert Murdoch
