It’s been several weeks since we assembled more than 19,000 sales people virtually for Cisco’s annual sales meeting. Cisco broke new ground for the sheer size of this virtual event, as well as the creative combination of technologies that included TelePresence, WebEx, IPTV and a very engaging Alternate Reality Game (ARG) called “The Threshold”.

We are creating a new generation of digital extroverts who gain confidence in online interaction reinforced by every new update, follower, retweet, public @ (acknowledgment), and linkback. I then suggested that this may actually have a positive impact on society as, we then carry this new found courage back into the real world, supported by our invisible army of supporters who define our social graph. I call this, until I can come up with something better, the “Verizon Network” theory.

My friend’s six-year-old, Claire, made her own laptop out of cardboard. The keyboard has all the letters of the alphabet, plus numbers up to 100. There’s a cardboard mouse and even a camera - a peephole where she can watch her mom. Don’t you love the imagination of kids?

There exists a culture clash between ad agencies and social media marketing. The difficulty is the result of both philosophical and tactical problems. The good news is problems can be solved. But it will take some work.
— Jason Falls, Social Media Explorer | Advertising Agencies & Social Media: A Culture Clash
