If you're not aware of the digital social revolution taking place; welcome to the planet...
You may want to select a name, gender take a picture and get yourself a Facebook profile. While you're about it you'd better check out Twitter and Google+ and probably get Facebook & Google+ Pages for your business here on Earth; and perhaps a LinkedIn account and BranchOut, and Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious; and a YouTube account, etc etc.

While you are racing to get your profiles established you may be wondering, with the rest of humanity, why, on earth, this phenomenon is so transformational and so global, how we lived so long without it and how you can use it in marketing and still retain some or your sanity.

Well I think I can answer one of those questions and perhaps another one also.

HelpI've done a lot of travelling and often to some fairly dangerous places. When you land somewhere you have never been before, you want to find a guide you can trust.

Recently I have been to some Social Media talks, most of them to get an idea of how it feels to be on the other side of technology, and two things are for sure,

  1. Many people who know they need to be in Social Media are bewildered, confused and extremely frustrated;
  2. and the answers they get to their questions and concerns are not helping them to participate.

In this excellent TED video Seth Priebatsch speaks about School as a game, but not a particularly well designed game: 
"If we called 'Valedictorian' a 'White Knight Paladin level 20' I think people would probably work a lot harder."

I believe that Social Media has set the stage for serious game playing.

Last decade was the decade of social, this next decade is the decade of games. Seth Priebatsch
