Reading books has just got social. Social media that is.  Having just done a search on social media books at Waterstones I found that they were 529 books with social media in the title. Examples include The social media bible and Social media goes corporate. If we take a moment and think about what the landscape was like a few years ago one could argue that most of the books would not have anything to do with social media.

However, in today’s ever changing world, business has now become social.  The big boys are now playing with the street kids and the street kids being the people who are actually interacting on the ground level in terms of what’s going on in the market. And the big boys ie. the corporates are now having to get involved in the game and the only way to to keep up with what’s going on is to mix it up with the street kids whether they want to or not.

It will be interesting to see what the next six to twelve months will be like in terms of how we communicate especially with products like the ipad and kindle changing the way we consume our content.
