As time goes on, social media is my home on the internet. It is my home page, the place where I spend the most time. It is where I do business. It is where I hang out with friends. It’s where I find out about new movies, television and other products. It is my diary. Looking back on my wall, I have a history that is far richer than any diary or journal.” Kurt Sonderegger, VP Marketing, Ploom, http://www.ploom.com 32

Social media on its own is nice, but when combined with other tools, it is enabling everything to evolve, from communications to business to politics to marketing.” Mike Volpe, VP Marketing, HubSpot, http://www.hubspot.com 35
- 56. “ Social media is the best way to reach your most influential customers, and the only way to reach your most cynical ones.” Michael Troiano Principal Holland-Mark http://troiano.me 36

- 58. “ Social media is everything and nothing. Nothing because social media has become like air to the people who use its various forms regularly. It's not "social media" - it's simply letting my friends know what I'm doing/thinking/wishing/ etc. through a digital means. Everything because as more people are armed with web- enabled smartphones, there's nothing that can't quickly be shared with a broad group of people. Governments and big businesses have CCTV; the people have camera phones.” Paul Isakson, Co-Founder, Thinkers & Makers Http://paulisakson.typepad.com 38
- 59. “ Social media is the same today as it was yesterday. It’s just now reached such a critical mass, it’s too hard to ignore.

- 97. “ Media is the connective tissue of society. Media is how you know when and where your friend's birthday party is. Media is how you know what's happening in Tehran, who's in charge in Tegucigalpa, or the price of tea in China. Media is how you know why Kierkegaard disagreed with Hegel. Media is how you know about anything more than ten yards away. All these things used to be separated into public media (like visual or print communications made by a small group of professionals) and personal media (like letters and phone calls made by ordinary citizens). Now those two modes have fused. Clay Shirky, Cognitive Surplus, 2010 72
