The original Social Media Revolution video from July 2009 was quite “revolutionary” and has been viewed over 1.8 million times. I’ve personally seen it about 10,000 times at the beginning of various presentations on social media and the background music is on a continuous loop in my brain. But it’s full of amazing and interesting information, and thankfully has finally been updated with new stats and figures.
If you’re still of the mindset that you can wait for this stuff to blow over, maybe this new video will cause you to think again…
