As a follow up to my last post, I thought I would share a little uplifting humor in my blog for today. The folks at FLOWTOWN.COM (primarily Ethan Block) have created a wonderful poster titled simply “THE CLASS OF 2011: IF SOCIAL MEDIA WERE A HIGH SCHOOL”. It mimics a high school yearbook page and lists all today’s more well known students, such as TWITTER, FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, WIKIPEDIA, and YOUTUBE.
It also has quite a few of some lesser-known students, such as FLICKR, LINKEDIN, STUMBLEUPON, and DIGG. Best of all, it has also added the new kids in town, like INSTAGRAM, FORMSPRING.ME, and others. The tag line is: “From the jocks to the geeks, even the vast world of social media comes with its own stereotypes and teenage angst.”
The page can be accessed here: http://www.flowtown.com/blog/class-of-2011-if-social-media-were-a-high-school. Click on it and enjoy the descriptions of each of these “students”, especially the clubs they are a part of along with their favorite quotes. You will be glad you did. Especially if you are internet savvy.
And if you are not internet savvy, then this webpage might just serve another purpose. In addition to humor, it might just be a good way to get a quick introduction to the more popular social media sites that have come to dominate the World Wide Web.
As I said in my last post, maybe us older folks can still learn a thing or two from the young people of today. And, at least in this case, we have a chance to learn some new things in a fun way.
