The promise of the Internet
• Before the internet, PR was simple.
• We knew the people who “made” the news (editors and reporters).
• We pitched client stories.
• We saw results: TV, newspapers, magazines, radio.

But we know the Media Landscape is Changing…blah, blah, blah
• But really, it is.

PR 2.0
• Wikipedia has a billion articles.
• 24 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube per minute. Yes, per minute.
• As of May 2010, YouTube exceeds more than 2 billion views per day.

How People use Social Networks
• Used more frequently for personal use, than professional use.
• LinkedIn is the exception, with 67% of users saying they use their profile to “make new business or professional contacts.”

LinkedIn is a business social network.
• Used for job hunting
• Company finding
• A networking tool
