Another Web 2.0 Video

My first post on this blog was a video that showed exactly what web 2.0 is all about.

Here is a video I recently came across that suggests we are in the midst of a "social media revolution" :



Other than consisting of a large user-base, this so-called "social media revolution" might entail other dynamics that are likely to go unnoticed.

If this "social media revolution" is truly a revolution then one has to ask just who benefits from the changing times.

A video from the New America Foundation yields some clues:



Now while this video is pretty long winded, the title sums up what the author argues in his book.

It seems to me that the emerging liberal nouveau riche have benefited the most from the continued growth in social media.

Additionally, I suspect that a majority of those engaged in the "social media revolution" are liberal leaning "techie types" on the same page as the liberal nouveau riche.

It is highly possible that this will change political dynamics in the United States and abroad. But as I always say: "only time will tell."
