After you take the tour of all the online marketing options (with many left out- they must have just given up) jump down to the comments. They are a perfect example of the kind of discussions that happen when big, transformational change is immanent. There are the naysayers and the supporters. There are those who question motives (as they should) and those who question the motive questioners (one funny comment picks on a naysayer who is using a comment box on a blog to belittle social media).
They should have left room on the graphic. There are companies starting right out my window as we speak.
Or maybe not?
How many of these will merge or disappear in a short period of time?
There is fast change around us. In the case of social media there is so much change that at some point it has to be weeded and honed down to practical. Organizations have their own version of this. Case in point a client organization that had 25 different approaches to change management. Like each one of those logos in the graphic those who managed the approach, like those who own the social media firms (and anyone profiting from them), want to be queen/king controller of the environment. At some point those kinds of environments implode.
And then we have a different kind of change…
