Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

So either you don’t ‘get’ all this whiz bang social media buzz or you do ‘get it’ and can’t understand why people who don’t use social media platforms daily don’t get it.

Either way, you need to watch this great SlideShare presentation by David Gillespie. Also read his blog, which is both insightful and humorous. How can you not love a guy who titles his blog, Creative is Not a Department?

Anyway, his Digital Strangelove (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Internet) presentation has been virally swarming the internet for a week or so for good reason.

If you use the internet at all (lets assume you do since you’re reading this blog) then you’ll enjoy this. No matter how much you normally do or don’t follow the lightning speed changes happening as the web becomes socialized, you’ll learn something and laugh a little. Go ahead, check it out.

Brett, I realised today I was terribly rude and while we chatted on Twitter, I never thanked you properly for the kind introduction, link and write up. My humour has been, on occasion, accused of being rather obtuse, so glad you got the odd joke. If I am ever in Colorado again (lived in Colorado Springs for a short while as a youngster) I will be sure to look you up

Cheers!

David, you weren't rude at all. It's great to connect and you're very welcome. It obviously took a lot of thought and work to produce this presentation and it's very helpful for people trying to make sense of how the social web is impacting us. Thanks for taking a moment to comment. I look forwrd to following your blog and watching what you do next.

Not sure if you knew this, but there was an article with almost the same title many years ago by Douglas Adams (of Hitchhikers Guide fame):

How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Internet

I didn't know that. I wonder if David did. Thanks for the link!
