The Downside of Social Media: a Q&A with Malcolm Gladwell
April 7, 2010 at 7:37 am Leave a comment
In scanning the blogosphere and Twitter feeds this morning (which is part of our morning ritual), we came across this interview with author Malcolm Gladwell (The Tipping Point, Outliers, and Blink) where he explains why does not “tweet” and only posts to his blog twice a year.
We thought we’d share it with you, since he’s got some really good points. And of course, we’re super open-minded. Even though we love our social media tools and use them to accent our marketing and public relations strategies, we know that REAL relationships are where it’s at in business.We also know the importance of alone time.
So, take a look at what Malcolm has to say. We agree with his quote in the article: “While we’re in the midst of the revolution, we need to stop and talk about its broader consequences.”
Some food for thought.
