I think Social Search and Social Media works and my attendance at a concert tonight at The Cutting Room on West 24th Street happened purely because someone invited me on Facebook - I looked at the invitation, liked her music, and attended.
I wasn’t disappointed - I had a great time and Nikki Shannon and her band played very well - and I got to meet her and speak for a couple of minutes. I was in a room with total strangers - there wasn’t anyone that I knew - but I felt I was still “invited” and it turns out the PR Person is one of my Facebook friends.
So … Social Media Works - it really does - the problem might be - can you get enough people to see and interact with the content - any content?
But I would not have come had I not liked her music - so it’s all about “realness” and Art.
While visual art, painting, and music are both similar and different, one thing speaks to soul, genuineness - and she has it - I could feel it.
Why I decided to listen, why I opened up, maybe it was the power of Social Media - it can do that - if people want to listen, want to see, want to listen.
Maybe we’re Early Adopters of Social Media, or I am, anyway - and there’s a good post about it in Social Media Today

While the increasing mainstream coverage of tools like Facebook and MySpace may be a sign that we’re moving beyond the introduction stage and into the growth stage of social media tools, from my perspective we’re still at a point in social media when everyone is learning. That’s especially true in public relations. PR has been around for a long time; social media has been around for just a few years. I think we’re early in the lifecycle.
We have a bunch of new tools to experiment with; I think it’s up to us - the early adopters - to work out which ones are useful and how to use them.”
