Yes, the power of communities and the shift to that influence over the influence of companies with the most money to spend on getting their message out is the crux of the revolution.

Fully agree. I would even say that a radio show open to the public is more social than a coupon campaign on Twitter…

This "social" thing is actually hiding the real change brought by consumer generating content and connecting on the internet: the power of communities.

That's, to us, the real challenge and opportunity for marketers: build value propositions and messages to communities and listen and engage with these communities.

I have an iPod and it was hooked up to my old computer, but my old computer got a virus and I had to throw it out. I have all of my music on my iPod. I bought a new computer and I downloaded iTunes on it, how can I get the music on my iPod into the iTunes library of my new computer? I've done it before, but I have no idea how. It keeps saying that the iPod is already synced to another computer, and asking me if I want to delete all of the music on it. I want to keep the music on my iPod. Please help me, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks! santoramaa

Bill, nice comment! I love etymology and had not looked up the roots of 'media' or realized that it's the first half of 'mediator.' Thanks for adding this piece.

Couldn't agree more. The roots of the word "media" themselves imply a social dynamic. Here's a snippet from an email conversation about media that I had with Adam Penenberg recently…. because of such "mediation" they are necessarily "viral"…ie a "mediator's" role is to bridge the gap between two entities and thus use of these services necessitates their spreading. "Viral loops" thrive on engagement and the roots of the word "media" seem to imply that it should as well. In this way is anything "viral" a form or "media?"
