great success.

Compare this to the spread of the renaissance in Europe. There were centers of activity — Florence, or Paris, or London, say. Parts of Germany were with the program, and parts didn’t find it until a century after most of Europe.

Ideas don’t spread consistently. Despite the death of distance, because business *is* social, geographical business networks have cultural consensus.

So in Boston or San Francisco, we are bleeding on the edge. NYC is doing fine. But some places between the coasts won’t accept social media as a “duh” for quite some time.

Sometimes I feel lucky that I grew up in a rural area in Vermont — progressive and conservative at the same time. It makes it easier to explain social media in an acceptable way to the folks who lag the curve you postulate.

lmao @ Tom. Controlling social media is one of those futile corporate fights I have to agree with some of the earlier statements too Jeremiah I think the time phases are going to take a bit longer than we think. Some companies are really still stuck on the “what”. It’s amazing, because there are media giants like Fox and CBS that are really taking to some of these web2.0 opportunities, while other companies, that shall remain nameless, still think web strategy is building a website and buying banner ads.

Together we can all help educate them and speed the process!

Jeremiah:

One question you definitely forgot . . .

HOW DO I CONTROL IT?

An RFP I recently saw (Global 100 Company) had as the top priority for the organization’s social media strategy “getting back in control of our message”.

That horse has already left the barn.

I like how you’re thinking, but I think the more honest slide would look like a Jackson Pollock painting. I deal with clients all the time who simultaneously ask “What is social media?” (it’s really not well defined – only slightly less amorphous than “engagement”) and “How do I do it right?” while I think few will care to ask the 2009 question.

Rick,

It’s true, these dates are based upon my experience from being deeep within the epicenter. I’m around some of the most savvy companies. It’s certainly just one person’s perspective.

Ken, I’m looking at you for leadership and championship, you’re on the inside forging ahead at Intel, I’m on the outside, rooting and supporting you on!
