As I've alluded to in this blog before, you know you're old when you hear about some new groundbreaking idea, and you realize it has been done before.
Basically, the rule is you're old when you can see history.
So what am I ranting about this time? Social media, again. Why is this new? Why does everyone jump when they hear about social media?! This is not new stuff guys!
Let's rewind to the birth of the modern Internet, circa 1996/1997. There were forums back then. Forums used profiles where members could answer questions about themselves.
THE ONLY THING FACEBOOK AND THE WHOLE WEB 2.IDIOTIC MOVEMENT DID IS MARKET A SINGLE FORUM TO A MASS AUDIENCE. People had mini communities before and they still have mini-communities. I just keep running into people who are marketing themselves as social media consultants.
Move on people. Please. Please for God's sake. This is nothing new.
