The Problem With Social Media

"I don’t see the problem with social media, I see the opportunity! Last week we had the last study social media circle (Got a Mac user group, Gothenburg, Sweden) for the season and we looked at future trends and discussed how much social media has enriched our lives. My take on the so called problematization of social media by the mainstream media, is that they “honeymoon period” is over for new media. Here is Gothenburg we now have a case in court called “Instagram case” with two teenagers that used Instagram for spreading rumors and “immodest” pictures. The whole thing turned into a mob frenzy with plenty of kids running around in the central of the city, destroying stuff and fighting. The mainstream media blamed the incidence on Instagram and had several articles on the bad things with social media. First mainstream thought social media was a fad, then they got curious and wrote pieces about it and now they are creating stories on how bad it is. Next phase will be an acceptation of new media and it will be a natural way of conducting business. Many of the old media companies have invested plenty of money in new media ventures. They are afraid of the costly newspaper distribution supply chain and the decreased interest in reading only the paper version of the news. For the record: I am a social media evangelist and I want to spread better ideas regarding business philosophy and new media. I have had presentations on the opportunities and threats with social media and could help organizations with figuring out their strengths and weaknesses then it comes to conversational marketing and ask the tough “why” question… "
