Spout and scout
Social media has amplified two basic human needs so much that they have been transformed into entirely new behaviors.
Sites have encouraged and rewarded us to spout, to talk about what we're up to and what we care about.
And they've mirrored that by making it easy to scout, to see what others are spouting about.
Please understand that just a decade ago, both were private, non-commercial activities. Now, they represent the future of media, and thus the future of what we do all day.
You're probably doing one, the other or both. Are you making it easy for your peers and customers to do it about and for you?
