2009 in Social Media

Here's a great video by Rob Cottingham of Read Write Web that tells the story of 2009 in Social Media via the medium of doodles (not dance as some would perhaps prefer) :



The interesting part here is how much Social Media has impacted on so many different parts of daily life, whether political (Obama), commercial (Dominos Pizza), social (Susan Boyle) or via the language we now use - a year ago many of us wouldn't have a clue what a tweet was or what it meant to 'unfriend' someone, now such words are part of our daily vocabulary.

And what will the equivalent video look like in January 2011? Who knows, but my money's on it including social media measurement in a big way. Here's to a happy, prosperous and social 2010!

I'm delighted you liked this!

Measurement: okay, that's a thorny one for a cartoon. This is as close as I've gotten to date. :-)

All the best in 2010,

Hey Rob - thanks for comment. We love your work on this one! We also like the caveman piece you suggested on ROI - same as trying to work out the ROI of your mobile!

Good luck to you too in 2010 - we'll keep checking in on your latest but feel free to post them on our blog as comments too!
