The Digital Divide / Generation Gap - Patrick Schwerdtfeger

http://www.SocialMediaVictories.com/

Patrick Schwerdtfeger discusses the digital divide and how differently the younger generation views the internet as compared with older generations. They are not mildly different. They are completely opposite views and businesses need to understand how to communicate with that audience before they start participating in the conversation. This video shows a number of examples.

This video was recorded on August 15, 2009 in Berkeley, CA. It was part of a full-day workshop entitled Social Media Victories Real Businesses, Real Campaigns, Real Results which focused on how entrepreneurs, small business owners and self-employed service professionals can leverage Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube to grow their businesses.
