Chris Abraham On The Social Media Revolution

On Wednesday, September 30th at 12:00 p.m. PST the folks at Metanomics are going to be exploring the social media revolution with a live interview of Chris Abraham. They’ll be covering a lot of ground,

Is social media a revolution or just more conversation? What are companies doing to protect their reputations online? Where do virtual worlds fit in to the Web 2.0 ecosystem? Will conversational ‘power’ end up in the hands of the few or the many? And is Twitter REALLY better than Second Life?

That first one is an often aksed question that really bothers me. It tends to show a general lack of understanding about the subject of social media as a whole. The conversation is the revolution. Chris will no doubt illustrate this very clearly,

Chris will talk about how our lives are being informed by social media, how we can protect our reputation on-line, and how companies are struggling (or succeeding) in managing misinformation, rumor and memes. Chris is one of the world’s acknowledged experts in managing online communities and in understanding the tensions between the individual power to express and the implications for the future of the enterprise. . .
