Welcome to the opening post of AskAboutSocialMedia.com! I hope this site will provide you with interesting new knowledge and ideas about how to use social media.

I want to start out with showing two videos. One is by Dr. Michael Wesch, who teaches digital ethnography at Kansas State University. I have been following his ideas and videos about teaching, learning and other subjects for some time now and he strikes me as truely a unique teacher and thinker.

The other video is by one of my favourite speakers on web 2.0 and social media – the author of “Here Comes Everybody”, Clay Shirky.

Both videos illustrate a point about the interconnected world we live in today and the impact that social media and web 2.0 has on our lives. I hope you enjoy them!
