[...] Granted, those problems may be technological in nature (like spotty cell coverage) or they may be matters of negative consumer perception. That’s up to AT&T to decide (or admit). But because AT&T has a record of what the public really thinks about its service, they can now choose to fix those problems head-on, OR they can choose to ignore them and hope the public eventually loses interest, which often happens.

How are we to move together, when each of us has our very own podium to take in our own direction?

The party isn’t fun when everybody wants to be the Dj and nobody is on the dance floor… We need party people.

But so far, you’re right that nothing has scaled. That’s what baffles me about organizations being afraid of social media. Like you said, there just aren’t any case studies of regimes being toppled by people being social on-line.

Yet?

I’m quite struck by the assertion that social media will come into its own when it can destroy something. Really?

Social media is still a novelty for most people. Everyone and his or her pet turtle is developing a dot com that is intended to provide 3 or 5 key services that the com owner believes are important tools for our life. Every other day something new is created and we’re supposed to shift our life paradigm to accommodate it. We’re so busy trying to maintain the relationships with people and tools we’ve already begun to use and also trying new tools that are constantly being developed that communities of like-minded people are splintered. As a whole we’re emotionally drained by the bombardment of yet another next big thing. None of these services offer the flexibility that normal people need and it’s the reason there are so many. Too many options, too little coherence.

Social media will come into its own when developers stop pouring more hot water into the Jello that’s already cooling. It’s a watery mess.

Also, I’m drinking coffee and eating an apple turnover. I thought you should know.
