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!
