So you think Social Media is simply a fad that will lose relevance over the next 5 years?  Think again.  The way we live, work and communicate has forever changed and continues to do so each year.  One of the most viewed social media videos was released last August 2009 by Erik Qualman of Socialnomics.

A few highlights from the video:

• 60 millions status updates happen on Facebook daily
• We no longer search for the news, the news finds us.
• While you watch this 100+ hours of video will be uploaded to YouTube
• We will no longer search for products and services, they will find us via social media
• Social Media isn’t a fad, it’s a fundamental shift in the way we communicate
• The ROI of social media is that your business will still exist in 5 years
• The #2 largest search engine in the world is YouTube
