Twitter Social Media Revolution
Twitter users are shown to communicate extensively via mobile devices. Twitter users are more likely to consume news and information on these devices as well. For many Twitter users, learning about and sharing relevant and recent nuggets of information is a primary utility of the service, reports Pew Research Center 2010.
While Twitter users are just as likely as others to consume news on any given day, they are more likely to consume it on mobile devices and less likely to engage with news via more traditional outlets. Twitter users are less likely to read a printed copy of a newspaper, rather 80% read news online, and more likely to read a news story on a cell phone or on a smart phone. Watch VIDEO: Social Media Business Revolution
A similar pattern holds for video news consumption; on any given day, Twitter users are just as likely as others to watch news on a TV, and just as likely to watch video news on a computer, but more likely to watch a news video on a cell phone or on a smart phone.
A new social media analysis released by SustainableVirtualBiz.com shows the Internet has surpassed print newspapers and radio, as American’s primary information source. Only local and national television led the Internet as American’s primary information source. Overall, 46% use four to six different types of media daily. The Internet is turning news into more of a social experience: More than 80% of respondents search or receive news via e-mailed links, reports Pew Research Center 2010.
For example, a wide range of statistics on people’s news cell habits reveals about 60% get news from both online and offline sources. Mobile users saw the largest increase over the past year from 6% to exceed 26% of Americans now using cell phones as their primarily information source.
Mobile technology and social media networks are reshaping the news and advertising business with the likes of Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft’s BING. The latest shift is being driven by the exploding popularity of SMART cell phones, mobile tablets such as Amazon’s Kindle and Apple’s iPad enabling easily access vast array of media information sources via the Internet.
For example, younger cell phone owners largely search for news on their cell phones. About 43% of those under age 50 said they are mobile news consumers, compared with 15% of older (ages 50 plus) respondents. Readers’ No. 1 concern when they look for news on their phones: the weather. Of the 37% of cell phone owners who said they use the Internet on their phone, 72% check weather reports. Current events news information came in second with 68%.
Today’s new multi-platform media environment, news is becoming portable, personalized, and participatory:
Portable: 33% of cell phone owners now access news on their cell phones.
Personalized: 28% of Internet users have customized their home page to include news from sources and on topics that particularly interest them.
Participatory: 37% of Internet users have contributed to the creation of news, commented about it, or disseminated it via postings on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter.
In addition, people use their social networks and social networking technology to filter, assess, and react to news. And they use traditional email and other tools to swap stories and comment on them. Among those who get news online, 75% get news forwarded through email or posts on social networking sites and 52% share links to news with others via those means.
The results were based on telephone interviews with 2,259 people over the age of 18, conducted between December 28th and January 19, 2010. For questions to that entire group, the margin of error was 2.3 percentage points. On questions to just Internet users, the margin was 2.7 percentage points.

Does the “cable media” prescribe information they deem as appropriate?
I’ve notice that you seldom if anytime see foremost thinker and financial movers and shakers. Psychologically the network media has been tagged and downcast by governing agencies with conflicts of interest. While the media has several million viewers its a far cry for the complete population and yet people have been led believe that its “America’s Source of Information.” The constant repetition of information in an almost washing machine fashion is without it controversy especially by media with a primarily international backing.
Almost all cable news is owned by just a few sources, who tell you what to think, and form peoples ideas and beliefs.
And people will fight to the death for “their” beliefs. LOL

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
