If you're not aware of the digital social revolution taking place; welcome to the planet...

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.
