The Wisdom of

Erik Qualman“Social Media isn’t a fad, it’s a fundamental shift in the way we communicate.”

Virtual Newsmakers Show

Mobile drives social; social drives mobile.

Listen, interact, act, and share

Have the tools work for you rather than you work for the tools.

92% of children under the age of two have a digital shadow. Whether you’re 80 or 20, your reputation is no longer completely in your control.

You have to live your life as if your mother is watching you.

If you don’t post…what you are doing is allowing others to manage the reputation for you. There is going to be negative stuff posted about us, but if we’re not proactive in managing our reputation, then that’s all that shows up. If we’re proactive, that negative thing may be one small part of the story, five percent. You don’t necessarily want a perfect profile because it looks like it’s not a real person. That five percent actually helps you.

We don’t have to wait for our funeral. Our legacy is in digital ink, permanent ink. Even after we’re gone, we can actually have influence over others.
