Social media is like teen sex…
I was talking with a friend today who claimed he was “quitting” Facebook. I was inspired to tell him, “Don’t worry, I know you’ll be back, like the prodigal son returning home. Lucky for you, Facebook loves unconditionally.” While he’s still confident of never returning, I give it two months. This conversation inspired me to list the top 5 quotes about social media.
1. “Social media is like teen sex. Everybody wants to do it. Nobody knows how. When it’s finally done there is surprise it’s not better.” − Avinash Kaushik, Google
2. “If content is king, then conversion is queen.” – John Munsell, CEO of Bizzuka
3. “I hear YouTube, Twitter and Facebook are merging to form a super-social media site – YouTwitFace.” − Conan O’Brien, The Tonight Show, June 2nd, 2009.
4. “Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you make, but about the stories you tell.” − Seth Godin
5. “Web marketing isn’t a spoke on the wheel of our key marketing programs. It is the wheel.” − Bruce Nunn (yes … I had to sneak one of mine in.)
