 To me the most compelling insight I have about networks/media is that it is a useful tool. Without the networks we would pretty much  be into encyclopedias getting our information, but that would take longer for research. While on the other hand we can get information from the internet in just seconds for a research paper. It has become so useful that without it we would be meaningless.
 I also get to thinking that in the future technology is going to be so advanced that it is going to do pretty much everything for us.  For example: it will write for us.  So, what are teachers going to be teaching to the students in the future?
 It is just scary to me to think what kind of technology will be coming out for other future generations. So, I wonder if the new advanced technology will be hard for us to use that our children will call us slow. Just like what we call the older generations today because of their lack of skills to technology.

Measuring metrics

The most important metrics of social media are: traffic, sales, and profit.
Traffic- It is important to measure the quantity of media, rather than the quality.
Sales- is is important to know how you are doing with the sales. Is it selling or not?
Profit- the money earned from you investment and the result in sales from your product.
 Using data from the metrics will allow you to see your progress in the sale. You would be able to know how well or how bad the sell is going. That way you can decide whether you want to keep with the sell or stop. If it is bringing good profits then you will want to keep on selling it. And if the sell is bad, it would be a better idea to remove the product from stock. That way you don't lose anymore than what you have invested.

Collaboration

Collaboration to me is working as a team with other people to help solve a problem, create ideas. Sometimes it is hard for only one person to do all the thinking. Getting different ideas from other people can help find more solutions. Everyone has different ideas, because we all think different. Imagine, if we all thought about the same ideas, this world would never have the progess we have today with tecnology. That is why collaboration has played a big role in networing media because a variety of people has come up with different ideas on how to socialize with each other through the internet. An individual just didn't come up with this idea. It all took collaboration of a team.

More Social

Media has become more social because you are able to communicate with friends and family all over the world. I'm able to communicate with friends in Mexico through facebook. I don't have to worry about calling them on the phone, I just chat with them.
 Social media keeps people connected and in touch with each other.  It is more social because it's easy to use and is now more accessible.

Social media has become anti face to face communication. Now that we have texting and social media networks you are able to communicate faster.

Sorry,  the videos were cut off, this is my first time uploading a video. I had trouble.

Market Media

Content marketing  is a marketing technique of creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience with the objective of driving profitable customer action. It is the art of communicating with customers and propects without selling.
 It is important to companies and organizations because they create  strategies  how to reach out to their consumers. They also know what audiences are going to be targeted. It is all about delievering information to the audience to make them more intelligent. Content marketing choose to create new informaion and share it through via and all media. Examples would be custom magzines, email, digital content, websites, etc...
 It is important to us as audiences to learn about the valuable content before we actually use it. Its the campany's job to get us to be attracted and eganged in using the product that way they have good profits, and satisfied customers.

The difference of the videos these two videos is that the first video shows Erick Qualman speaking in different parts of the world about socialnomics. He spoke about how we are going to need to catch up with the new  social networksthat we be coming out in the future. In the second video it was more of a presentation of Socialnomics in a slideshow giving us more statistical informaion. This video had music playing in the background as well as graphics which made it more interesting.

People like to see visual and interesting presentations like the second video, sometimes we can get bored listening to someone speak for an hour or so about the same thing over and over. We can start to get impatient, while on the other hand with visual presentation it keeps us entertained because we are wanting to see what coming up next. It can impact the users because there are people who prefer speaking presentations, and others would perfer just seeing something on a screen.

Sorry Guys about the typos in the first sentence, I was tired after work.
