Just a disclaimer that we've worked with Jim Cameron for years as a media trainer. He's a trusted colleague and a real gentlemen to boot. That's why I was dismayed to see his post on social networking and microblogging. He misses the point that was made eloquently by NYU's Jay Rosen at Blog World Expo last week that social media has created a power shift in which we no longer consume news vertically -- connected "up" to a mass media outlet -- but horizontally as technology allows us to spread information peer-to-peer. News is gathered and consumed in an entirely new ecosystem that simply can't be ignored or dismissed. I wish Jim Cameron could recognize this. Good morning, all.

For some of my clients we have landed hits in print and TV from my contacts and "pointless babble" on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube. Being in journalism they shouldn't see this as a threat but a supplement to their current strategies. Social Media is the future no matter how much you want to deny the value. <br><br>Thanks again Danielle for sticking your neck out there on this one. Wonderful points of view Danielle.
