I concur with the list of 7 generational diffs. The older were perplexed, perhaps as much by my own enthusisam (I'm 56 and shouldn't be fooling around with this stuff). The younger said, yeah, go for it! (Get the Town connected to SM). Trouble is, is that the youngers are not the decision-makers. Sigh. bob Just gave a socialmedia prez to a group of municipal administrators. I concur with the list of 7 generational diffs.

(and btw, i'm loving your twitter "about"... that's rockin'!) "Bridging the gap" has, and will be a constant issue and challenge for communication... but something recently has reminded me that the generational gaps serve a purpose and that keeping them has value to a certain degree. That's why I'm glad you mentioned that it's neither "good nor bad"... "it just is..." but perhaps it's more! Great post! (and btw, i’m loving your twitter “about”… that’s rockin’!)

“Bridging the gap” has, and will be a constant issue and challenge for communication… but something recently has reminded me that the generational gaps serve a purpose and that keeping them has value to a certain degree.

“it just is…” but perhaps it’s more!

I was having a very similar conversation with a co-worker this morning about social media and business practices. I stopped when her eyes rolled back in her head. :) What a timely entry!

First of all, to provide the bloggers a place to convene and work together. But also to use technology like netvibes to make all of that content easily digestible to people who don't understand RSS.

After church, I told him I'd give him a primer if he wanted to know how it worked. But he said he would leave it up to me.
